   I just installed TWO NEW ICE 419 Automatic bandpass filters and I noticed that with just 75 watts on BOTH units I have real bad RFI into the LED's of the Bandpass unit and also messes up my Top Ten Decoder, relays in the bandpass unit chatter also!!!

   Even with the selection cable disconnected to the Top Ten Box, I still have the RFI.    Yes.....Both Boxes are grounded.....

    So far I havent had any problems with the Top Ten stuff at 1500 watts....Just since I installed the ICE Bandpass unit....

  I also noticed that none of the cabling inside the ICE unit was bypass'd with any caps....

    Any Ideas???    Seen this problem????

Thanks!!     Trying to get this finished before NAQP.....or maybe not!!
