Sounds like common mode RF on the feedline is triggering the over-

different frequency/band than normal?

Best thing you can do is install a common mode choke - see the info
in the first article here: http://www.audiosystemsgroup.com/publish.htm
Also read the articles on "Transmitting chokes."

My choice would be to pitch the Astron switching supply. The old supplies work fine, but I've gone through a number of their switchers.

Common mode chokes may work, but I think it's a basic problem with the supply.
