Richard, thanks for the details, can you tell us about your ground system?
I'd try quarter wave length wire connected to the power supply.  If you can
ground it all the better.

Subject: How to Stop RFI from Shutting Down My TS-2000's Power Supply?

Hi!

In the process of setting up my Ameritron ALS-1306 amp with my Kenwood
TS-2000 and an MFJ 998 tuner, sometimes RFI shuts down the TS-2000's power
supply.  My Elmer is convinced it is RFI because 1) it seems only to happen
on 20M (so far, anyway) and 2) it only happens when we crank-up the 1306
beyond ~200W.  The 1306 is on a totally different, dedicated power line:
240V.  The TS-2000's power supply is on the household's 120V.  The power
supply for the TS-2000 is an Astrin SS-30
<https://www.hamcity.com/store/pc/SS-30-p363.htm> .  So, what can I do to
stop this?

73,

Richard KK6MRH
