I had the same noise problem with my TFT display. Because of all the add-on boards that Dennis is working on, I needed additional takeoff points for +/-12V (mainly for BITX40, PA, and Dennis' boards) and +/- 8V (the TFT and my DDS). My original design for the PS introduced a ground loop into the circuit and updating the display created an ugly "whoosing" sound. (Hey! What do I know? I'm a software guy.) Under the guidance of Al Peter, AC8GY, I redid the PS (see picture) to eliminate the ground loop. The power comes into the pins on the left, and the yellow pins at the top of the board are +12V feeds (black is GND), the middle yellow pins are +8V for my PCB (less stress on the Mega), and the bottom single set is for the PA. The lone yellow pin near the top right feeds into pin A14 on the Mega to monitor the supply voltage (which might be a battery) on the display. Now there is no interference when tuning.

the power supply going to raduino has to be filtered at -close to raduino? by say 100uF and? 0.1? disc cap or MLC cap.

I've finished the Bitx40 experimental project today. I added the AF-AGC and LM386 POP limitter with raduino v1.20.1 (Thanks Allard). And I also added the DuinoVOX for Digital Mode operation. It's a great radio but the problem is only the "LCD noise" when increasing the AF volume. hi... Can I reduce this noise? Or I have to use the analog VFO? Any suggestions welcome.
