Assembled wisdom . . . .

I have the standard dipole aerial for the radio in the closeout of the 
fin as per Europa instructions with the cable running down the Starboard 
side of the fuselage.

The strobe is from Kuntzleman with the power supply fitted under the 
baggage bay and the cable to the fin running down the Port side of the 
fuselage.

By necessity, the two cables are closer together in the fin and in the 
upper part of the fin would be running fairly parallel to each other.  
The Kuntzleman strobe wires are not shielded.


The problem is a =93CHEW CHEW=94 noise in the headsets and by 
experimentation, I have proven the noise is coming in via the radio 
aerial.

My question is . . . .  What is the likelihood of success if I was to 
replace the unshielded wires to the strobe with a shielded cable?

I realise moving the strobe to another location would likely be a 
solution but the fin is my preferred location if I can have it.

Thanks in anticipation
