This could also come from a fan as many small fans used for rig cooling are actually AC fans with internal switchers. I have often seen this type of EMI and a RC filter works well in that case. About a 30-50 Ohm resistor in series and a 500-1000uf cap to ground on the 12V lead to the fan.<br><br>I don't think this is a normal thing with the URI or a large number of us would be seeing it on our systems. Something specific to your setup is causing it. With all of your tests I think I would rule out a ground loop or power supply to the BBB.<br id="FontBreak"></font><br><b><font style="font-size:16pt;" size="4">73 Doug</font><font style="font-size:16pt;" size="4"><br></font><font style="font-size:16pt;" size="4">WA3DSP</font><font style="font-size:16pt;" size="4"><br></font><font style="font-size:16pt;" size="4">http://www.crompton.com/hamradio</font></b><font style="font-size:16pt;" size="4"><br></font><br><br><div><hr id="stopSpelling">Date: Fri, 31 Oct 2014 14:06:54 -0700<br>From: kj6qfs@gmail.com<br>To: arm-allstar@hamvoip.org<br>Subject: [arm-allstar] URI audio noise<br><br><div dir="ltr">Hello again to all, <div>I've interfaced a DMK URI to an RLC-4 Repeater controller.
