Awhile ago I picked up this inverter, and it does the job fine, but I find that whenever its plugged into a vehicle and turned on, I lose 90% of radio reception - only the local stations come in, and even then they are static-y. If I turn the inverter off I get all my stations back. Also, if I plug an AC adapter into the inverter, plug my iPhone into the adapter, and listen to music through the car's aux-in jack, I can hear a high-pitched static-y whine sound through the speakers, that stops when I turn the inverter off.
Ive attached two pictures of the inverter. Let me start by apologizing for the quality of them; I know they arent the best pictures, but they should give an idea of what type of inverter it is. Under the heatsink on the top are two TO220 devices, but I cant get to them to read them (Id have to desolder them to get to the screw on the other side of the heat sink).
I was hoping to add some sort of filter in both the DC power and generated-AC power lines. Where should I begin?
Thanks!
