Poor radio reception

Postby EDDY99 » Sun Apr 10, 2016 9:54 am

Just converted a van into campervan, led lighting, 12V powerpoints, inverter + loads more of electrics.
The problem is radio reception is now rubbish.
Any hints how to fix pse ??

It could be interference from some of your additions, not sure if it applies to the led lighting but many 5v usb power plugs use a switching mode voltage reduction method which works at a fairly high frequency and can knock out some fm, usually lower end of the tuner I think. If you can easily isolate some of the accessory electrics see if you suddenly get back to normal.
