Cheap led lights

[metalbender]

Yup, confirmed it. Cheap led lights screw up the radio in the tractor. Finally got round to it, put some low cost Amazon led lights on my Massey. Had the lights for a while now. Had a bit of time, did the change and sure as chit, radio no workey on fm. Will try am and cd soon.

It's basically a ferrite coil..

It's been a few years now, I think the instructions had the coil installed about in the middle of the line..
Actually now that I think about it it's, Add an EMI filter at the input / output of the transformer..

My laptop has one two inches from were it plugs in..

I fixed mine by just listening to a streaming radio service through my phone at night. I put an audio cable up through the headliner down to a RamX mount where the phone lives.

Have seen those items on some power cords, will have to check if I have an extra kicking around. Thanks
