I have a high power LED torch that Paul McAllister recommended. I
noticed recently that when its on (continuous ) it strobes, quite fast
but it isn't constantly on. Must be the switching that causes the
interference.

working on my LED landing lights from J.C. Whitney and try to solve
the severe static problems during transmitting. After talking with
some friends and a electrical engineer I decided to try the old method
that we used 40 years ago on car radios. I went to the local auto
parts store, Advance Auto, and bought their radio noise suppressor,
less than $6.00. It works wonderfully well. It apparently contains a
capacitor and an inductor.
For the purpose that I plan to use the lights, to be seen by other
aircraft during landing, I am very happy with the results. At my
present airport night landings, is in my opinion are just for those
with a death wish, three times I have been at my hanger at night and
two time there were deer within 200 feet of the hanger that I had to
slow the car down to wait until they got off the hanger access road.
Have a wonderful summer,
