This sounds similar to a problem discussed many years ago about hum
induced in receivers by the TailTwister T2X rotor controller when the
brake solenoid was activated. As I recall, the "quick" solution was
to switch from the 3-wire power cord plug that was stock on the T2X
box and use a 2-wire adapter or other means of breaking the safety
ground. I think the person who analyzed the problem back then said
the symptoms indicated a problem with the ham's shack grounding.
