Hi Steve,
Yes, I'm very suspicious of the AC power supply (also wonder if the battery
is OK, but I would think the system would alarm if battery was sick), and
can't wait to see what we find out.
The power supply/charger is certainly the first thing to suspect, and it
should be easy to rule out if the system can run on the battery --
simply pull the supply/charger from the AC line. If that's the culprit
(or one of the culprits), multi-turn #31 chokes on both AC and DC cables
leaving the supply should make a big dent.
I've recently added the admonition to my applications notes that, to be
most effective, the turns must run through the ferrite core IN SEQUENCE
-- that is, turns wound in order around the core. A turn that is out of
order will cancel another turn, significantly reducing the impedance and
the raising the resonant frequency. This is equally important for both
toroids and clamp-ons.
