Grounded at the battery.

Check that you still have the filter cap on the alternator, if it is there you may need to add a filter cap in addition to the choke.

I can't find the part number right now but I found a filter for Shawn. I'll try to look it up later tonight.

Check this out
DC Line Noise Filter (20 Amps max) with OEM-T in-line connectors [LF-1-OEM] - $29.99

You want a filter as close as possible to the radio.

This??? Ferrite Beads RFI Suppression Split Snap Beads 31 Mix

Resistive spark plugs? Move the ground to the chassis? Easy things to try unless you've done them already.

All good advise, probably gonna but the Chokes first, anyone need one as well, I believe they come in a 5 pack.

we have two 40 owners in our club and they haven't complained of any noise so I'm curious what's the diff between your 40 and theirs....

Story of my life, if it can happen...it will.

My 40 seems to be fine, Shawn's 2M always has a buzz. Even after he did the V8 swap.
