[RE-wrenches] Inverter AM Interference

[Dave Click]

Weird! I was looking through the list archive for info on lightning 
arrestors earlier this afternoon and coincidentally, this email may 
help, from Aaron Wellendorf on 2006/4/12:

"I have used a different brand of AC surge arrestor with noise filtering to
quiet the AC line into a grid-tied Trace SW4048 back in 1999. It didn't
completely filter out all noise, but it did make my customer's favorite
680AM radio station listenable vs. a totally static roar. I put them on all
my systems after that, SW or not."

He doesn't say what surge arrestor he uses, but hopefully this helps 
your customer.
