The standard solution to this involves chokes (ferrites) on every piece of 
antenna and power to all electronics, and copper screening around the 
entirety of the reefer compressor.  Having a direct connection to the

Subject: [Liveaboard] Refrigeration radio interference


> Hi all:
>
> I have a marine/ham SSB radio onboard which is being interfered with by my
> refrigeration system.  The radio is a marine SSB system - ICOM 802.  The
> refrigerator is a generic hermitically sealed (Danfoss?) 12 volt packaged
> system.
>
> The interference is broad spectrum - i.e. I hear it on a wide range of
> frequencies.  If "sounds" like cricket chirping at about 100 or 120 
> "chirps"
> per second.
>
> Any suggestions to filter or otherwise eliminate the problem?
>
> Thanks for your help.
