Following some general recommendations does not necessarily solve a particular problem. That's the point where EE technician differs from true EE engineer. Seriously, I think, you should measure both signals on the reciver's first stage output =96 the level of noise caused by switching regulator and the level of useful signal. If you find that ratio unsafe: - try to diminish the noise; - try to enhance the useful signal; - try to shift the noise frequency from the signal frequency and provide better frequency filters; - use better noise-tolerant algorithms; - etc Regards, MS -- = http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
