AI6YR Ben (npub1ucv…5a8g)

A friend has a problem with EMI. Can anyone give him ideas to help troubleshoot?

It's an aircraft avionics issue in a glider cockpit. Everything is powered by battery.

He's not on Fedi/Mastodon.

His description is below.

Thanks in advance!

====================
I have 2 electrical devices that are causing interference with any nearby radio. Initially, I thought it was just my radio but it's any radio. So, I am no longer looking for an issue with my radio or antenna.

However, I did find a spectrum analyzer that can also generate a frequency simulating EMI (I think)

For testing purposes, I supplied each device with a separate battery.

I tried using foil around the 12v USB and variometer. Again, with no change. I also tried foil around the radio.

Not the best Faraday cage.

Usually, I get some sort of change. But not in this case
