Noise issues with Oudie 2 in a couple different aircraft

Is anybody else having noise issues when the Oudie is hard wired
to ships power. I know two aircraft that have the squelch turned on
to try to drown out the noise on the radio. I believe it is from the
Oudie while it is being charged. I recently added the Oudie to the
aircraft and now the radio will not cancel out after receiving a
transmission. I have tried wrapping the wiring of the oudie and the
gps cables to try andshield them but it isnt helping. After I turn off
the Oudie the radio returns to normal. Thanks, Doug
Besides adding the ferrite beads as already suggested, you should take a look at the power distribution. Ideally, all power returns (sometimes erroneously called "grounds") should come to a common single-point ground. Daisy-chaining these returns to various instruments will couple electrical noise from one to others. Have that single point connection as close to the battery as possible, with the lead going to the battery as large as practicable.
