PWM -- Pulse Width Modulation.

Someone mentioned somewhere that PWM also interferes with ham radio reception. (That I believe, unless you put some capacitors in the right place.)

The Tristar has a switch on it to do PWM or "on-off" battery charging. See the datasheet here.

That probably fixes it. I didn't buy the Tristar, I have the Xantrex C60 on the way, but I'm still looking for a MPPT that handles a dump load -- sounds like an opportunity to capture the "wind and solar both" (a.k.a. "belt and suspenders") market.
