[arm-allstar] Noise on the output rpi2 and uri.

[Corey Dean]

Are things grounded correctly? Is there a ground loop? I have seen this happen a few times with grounding issues.

Since this is on TX only maybe put the transmitter on a dummy load just to check. Are you using shielded cable for the radio connection? Are the grounds all good?
