Yeah, I noticed this first time I used it.  I made up a little pigtail
extension  cord,  and used a type 31 ferrite.  Forget the exact model,
but  it is about 2.5" long with about a 1" or so inner diameter.  Made
3-4 passes (can't remember, not going to go out and count), but I took
the  end  off  an  old  extension cord, and put a new end on.  Put the
appropriate plug on the other remaining part so I could still use that
too.   I use
that   between   the   genny and anything I need to plug in - no noise
after that
