Did you ground your PD 9200 series converter?
I recently installed a new PD9260C deck mount converter in my fifth wheel. It did not come with anything resembling installation instructions, but it did have this schematic: The converter A...

Grounding .. Hum,, that explains something that has bothered me for a while, thanks.
So, what does it explain:... I have read how the PDI converters are noisy (RF Interference that is) yet my TS-2000 (A very senistive radio) can not tell if it is running off 100% batteries, 100% PDI 9180+ wizard or both of them together.
Why is this:
I strongly suspect... GROUNDING,, my 9180 either is or is not grounded (I do not know which) and that is either not transferring the noise over a ground loop or trapping it inside the case.
So, if you are having RF (or Television) interference issues you THINK may be the converter,,,, Try the chassis ground, either put one on or lift it, and see if that makes a difference.
