[RFI] LED RFI solved

[Jim Brown]

Thanks for posting, Steve. In today's world, a large fraction of RF 
noise is electronic noise, NOT power line noise. My tutorial app note 
addresses this, how to tell the difference, how to chase both types of 
sources. The two links cover the same material, but the second, slides 
for a talk, is newer and includes more graphics.
