the cool thing about those parts is that their PSRR extends

Which to bring it back to noise in radios ….. could be the issue there. The
device isn’t oscillating, it’s just not blocking the crud from upstream.

Would a simple L-C type filter on the input side solve that?

It would be difficult to get the kind of rejection the 3042 gives you with a *simple* LC, you're looking at 80 dB or better from DC to 3MHz See the attached figure. A multisection filter with carefully chosen components can do it.

The usual "solder in" bulkhead feethroughs (e.g. Spectrum Controls), for instance are ok at higher frequencies (70dB above 10 MHz), but pretty bad low down. So you're looking at a discrete design.


they've even got an ap note on how to *measure* this, which is no easy feat
