Anchor light interfers with VHF
I get massive static interference over my VHF when I switch on my anchor light. On - static; Off - goes away. I've tried a couple of things like placing ferrite suppression filters at varies places, but no effect. Clue 1: Could be a new problem since I replaced the incandescent with a LED mast light as I don't recall having this problem before (although the boat is new and it could have always been there and I just didn't notice). Clue 2: Only effects the VHF at the nav station, not the remote one in the cockpit. I have a feeling this is a grounding issue, but not sure where to begin. Any suggestions?

Clayton, I'd suspect both. If your LED light is a good one, it probably has amps/volt regulated and this will generate some noise on line (have you noticed anything on sound/TV system ?). Coupled with a bad powering on VHF, that noise might be more pronounced. Consider how bad Beneteau wire things aboard; I had to replace my VHF wiring after some time opening-closing the cabinet where it is installed. I rebuilt the wires with same gauge but I both fastened connectors and soldered it. Try revisiting your antena connectors and connection, these where found faulty on mine too ...
