unfiltered switching PS

There are no good "Power Tender Plus" chargers. All use an unfiltered switching power supply that produce an enourmous amount of FR noise. The standard Battery Tender (wall wart style) uses a standard power supply and is quiet. Be careful as to which model you buy.

I have used this charger for several years. During the winter months, I have about nine of these going constantly to keep batteries charged in and around my house. I operate HF-UHF with no problems. Did I get all of the good ones?

From K4MC (fornerly N4OYO)
Folow-up:
I made several attempts to reduce the RF emissions from this charger, from ferrites to putting it in a grounded ammo can, all to no avail. The emmissions are so bad that, if I could send it back in time, it could replace the spark gap transmitter on the Titanic!
I have found a home for it. It now resides in a mobile dog grooming trailer (working an area 10 miles away from my shack) to keep the water pump battery charged.
Yuassa has a niced charger that is very quiet.
