Default RE: RAM Beacon causes servo glitching; Help

The cap is an old time honored method for noise reduction. But for the caps to really do their job, they have to be tuned to the noise you're trying to filter. But you can try some ceramic .01, .1, and .001 uf. Those are some standard values we used to use a lot to get a wider band of filtering when we were just shooting in the dark. I've never been comfortable with amplified extension cables. If you get a glitch, it doesnt necessarily filter it, sometimes it amplifies it. I've also seen several of them fail, along with reversing Y's. Just my experience, others may vary. Is the antenna in the fuse? If so, maybe run it outside along the bottom of the fuse. Probably a combination of caps, ferrite cores that AT showed, antenna moving and some sheilding. Seems like it might be time to consider an upgrade to 2.4.
