24V-12V Voltage Reducers and HAM Radios

Well, it is time to go out and buy a voltage reducer. My truck is 24V. Now if it was just for a CD player and other electrics, I wouldn't worry so much. However, from what I have heard, some voltage reducers can cause problems for HAM radios.
I am doing a HAM course right now and spoke with the instructor. He confirmed that certain reducers can have a square wave pattern on the out put which would affect the HAM radio.
Is this true? If so, which voltage reducer can people recommend. I am thinking one which can handle a constant 20 amps will be enough.
