Ten Tec back in the analog days warned users to keep transceiver power 
supplies away from the rigs, as the radiated magnetic fields would 
frequency modulate the PTO's.

I had a Triton II that would slightly change my frequency every time I 
drove over rebar or turned a corner. Not a fault of a power supply of 
course.

More recently, Elecraft had an optional modification kit to shield PTO 
cores from external fields.
