Europa-List: Strobe RF interference

Hi Europa colleagues,
I have just been testing my Micro 760 VHF with the strobes on and have
some RF interference. I have 2 self contained strobes, one on top of the
fuselage and the other directly below on the bottom just aft of the fuel
vent. (Mono wheel Classic #292)
I have rerouted and shielded the strobe wires through the centre of the
fuselage to avoid the antenna cable which joins on to a Bob Archer
aerial. I shifted the aerial aft 2ft and that have improved it.
Any other suggestions would be welcome. I asked an Avionics man here
about suppressing the power lines to the strobe and he said the best way
to suppress them is to turn them off!!
Cheers,
Tim
