What\'s the buzz?

I've noticed that two of my lights (Shorelite Vx1 and Lightwand) throw off a bunch of RF interference when I use them within about a foot of radios set on the AM band. Even the Photon 3 does it slightly up close, but there's no buzz created by the Arc AAA or Attitude. I'm sure this is something to be expected, but it's too bad. I'd like to use the Lightwand during late night talk radio listening and DXing.

Re: What\'s the buzz?

Most likely has something to do with the converter board inside. Probably also has to do with the SIZE of the converter (Step up) board.

Is the Attitude direct drive? That would explain it's lack of buzz. Shorelite Vx1 and Lightwands and even the Photon 3s converter boards are large in comparison to the Arcs I would guess--also I'm sure the expoxy and HA III metal all around the board help to filter out EMF.
