- What is a ferite bead? The one talked about below.
-
- The "Y" harness might be acting like an antenna and causing interference
- with the receiver. I have had this problem and fixed it by running the base
- of the "Y" cable through a ferite bead (one turn) to choke off the RF. This
- worked with an airtronics receiver. When I install servos in the wings of
- my gliders I go ahead and put the ferrite bead in every installation and
- have not had any problems since.
