Just for information on why this is working

  1: Ferrite cores: Ferrite cores with the power line looped through them 
increase the inductance along ther individual power lines, which blocks aUdio 
frecuency noise, impulse noise and RF from traveling down the power line along 
with the DC. Ferrite cores should be placed lberally on power lines in the KR. 
They are cheap nose reduction, with almost no weight penalty  to concern 
yourself with. 

  2: Malfunctioning fuel pump (or any other electric motor): When an electric 
motor malfuncions in the sense that it is slowed or stopped (ie: "LOADED") but 
still ELECTRICLY functioning, it will draw more current than normal as it 
attempts to TRY to come up to its operating  speed (starting current draw). 
This continuous excessive current loads down your electrical system, causing 
thre alternator to generate more noise. The electric motor of the pump itself 
will also generate noise which is transferred back along the power line AS WELL 
AS Radio Frequency noise which is radiated through the air (which can interfere 
with other aircraft flying in formation with you). Ensuring that your electical 
motors are all functioning well and up to capacity, and that the power 
connections are clean and secure will reduce this substantially.

  Congrats on your improved power system Dan. It's always the little things 
that cause so much trouble and are such a pleasent relief when they are 
addressed.
