We don't keep the rig plugged in fulltime because it causes a buzz when we try to listen to our local AM radio station in the house. The electrician said there is very little you can do about that...
In general, an electrician is not who I would ask about RFI (radio frequency interference). It's like asking a truck mechanic about tuning a sports car.
Things worth trying:
Put a .01 uF (10nF) capacitor across the output leads, and from each to ground, as close as possible to the converter/charger.
Put ferite beads on all the wires coming from the converter/charger. The split style that claps over a cable (sometimes included with computers) should work fine.
Make sure your ground wire on your converter/charger is short and well connected.
None of the parts should be more than a couple of dollers, even at a place that overcharges like radio shack.
