What frequencies? When you say "lots of ferrites," did you wind
turns through them, or just clamp them on?
I've had issues on 40 and 15, and I think on 30. Definitely on 40,
though with a couple of different radios.
The power line I clamped on several (my supply of ferrite is just Radio
Shack and those aren't big enough) but I did use several turns on the
power supply leads near the power supply at first and then near the
radio as well when I had other issues.
I suggest that you download and study k9yc.com/RFI-Ham.pdf to
understand how ferrites work. A single turn (one pass of the wire
through a ferrite core) is next to useless at HF.
