I surmised that the radio antenna cable was affecting the EIS EGT/CHT probe thermocouple wires leading into the EIS. I installed about 8-10 ferrite beads over the antenna cable and the EIS data wire bundle, and it helped reduce the effect. However, the ultimate solution was to reroute the radio antenna wire completely away from the EIS wires. This solved the problem completely. Although it may not be convenient to separate the antenna cable and EIS wires, I suggest that is the best approach here.

"creep vs. nearly instantly"..! As you figured out, I was thinking creep and that is not the real world action.. Thanks for the details.... On Thu, May 2, 2019 at 5:16 PM Robert L.
