Yes capnjack the units share a common live and earth (screwed into same connector block) and the airial cable is in good nick and the socket is soldered.

Ty a direct feed to your VHF from the battery, fresh power and earth wire that is not shared by anything else.

Hi
I have just had the same problem when fitting a new Eagle FF.
Problem cured by fitting a supressor from an old car radio.
All car accessory shops will sell them they have a series coil and a large capacitor.
Easily wired to the VHF, Live and ground in live and ground out.
hopes this helps.
Cheers.
Paul.

Got a marine 10a suppressor wired it to the vhf but no differance, seperated the power supply and wrapped foil around sounder cable and aerial cable no differance
I will try suppressing the sounder power supply but if that wont work i will give up and just turn the sounder off when not needed.
The sounder is a eagle super pro I.D. and is quite old so i might replace it at the end of this season for a more modern one.
