[TenTec] Noisy RF Environment

[Phil Chambley, Sr.]

Pursuing Jerry's comment about noisy environs, several of the neighborhood kids got these battery-powered motor scooters for Christmas.  The chargers are 24 volt switching supplies, and they are eating me alive.  The Paragon and Paragon II noise blanking circuits will only start removing the hash long after audio on SSB has been destroyed.  CW sounds like it's coming through DSP heterodyne filters.

I know Riley would be on my side if it came to that, but how would you handle it without having disharmony in the neighborhood?

Anyone have any experience with filtering these scooter chargers?  This stuff is 10-15 dB over 9.
