[TenTec] ARGONAUT V Mobile Power Source

[Bob McGraw - K4TAX]

One of these products will kill all alternator noise.   Requires 
installation at the alternator.

If the source is from the electric fuel pump then a filter will have to be 
placed at the leads of the pump.  Likely requires dropping the gas tank to 
add the filter.  Other things like wiper motor noise will require filtering 
at the motor.  Where else and what is the source of the noise?  I don't know 
that there is a one stop add on filter that will take care of all of the 
noises generated in vehicles today.

There's basically two noise paths:  (a) noise on the DC line, most likely 
alternator noise,  and (b) radiated noise generated by devices like motors, 
switches, fuel injectors, ABS pumps, AC motors, and computers within the 
vehicle.  (A) is easy to solve with one of the Newmar filters.  (B) requires 
finding the source and adding a suitable filters to each device very close 
to the source.
