I wonder if this is worth all the trouble. Perhaps its better if I go back to the other bulbs, at least for the tri-color, since I always have my VHF on when I have the tri-color on.

Beyond the noise issue Dr. LED has been quite misleading for a long time about their USCG certifications. The tricolor light is NOT USCG certified in an Aquasignal Series 40 anyway. Of course this may not matter to you anyway.. Dr. LED has also had numerous failure issues and noise issues to which they have done little in the way of customer satisfaction.

I tested a bunch of interior bulbs and the only one with no noise was the Sensibulb. All the others caused differing levels of "noise" while not debilitating to the use of the VHF it was annoying as heck..

I would call James at Dr. LED and see what he'll do for you. For the price he is getting he should have similar circuitry to what the Sensibulb uses to eliminate noise...
