Joel, did you try the bypass cap on the EN line of the buck regulator that was causing? the issues?

I was having the same noise problem with my? V3 and the .1uf cap took care of the noise.

This is a BEEFY buck regulator that you put in place.

Subject: [BITX20] A solution to the noisy hot 5V buck regulator

?

I have been fighting bad band noise on all of my sBitx's from the DE to my V2 and V3, finally decided and set out to find another solution. I researched the most quite Buck converter that the RC and Drone users are using and they mostly agree that this is the best one,? I tried it in my V3 and found it works great with no rf noise that I can see anywhere and the general noise floor is much lower than before and the best part, it runs cool to the touch after 5 hours. I'm now going to install one in my DE now. YMMV.
