Default RE: RAM Beacon causes servo glitching; Help

Time to do the dance of joy.

I was taking an old radio apart in hopes of finding an appropriate capacitor (we are 50 miles from nearest Radio Shack) when I noticed a toroid ferrite on the antenna ground wire.

It seems to solve the problem. I used a spare extension to wrap it, and inserted it in the beacon circuit. Amazing.

Now I'll try putting things back in place in the fuselage, but at this point things are looking good. All thanks to one little ferrite donut.
