Ever dealt with a motor that hiccups just when the radio amps go up? I think it’s electromagnetic interference from the antenna. What do you reckon—grounding issue or signal bleed?

Looks like the motor’s just reacting to the power‑line ripple that the radio amps are whipping up. First, confirm the grounding scheme: is the motor’s chassis ground tied directly to the amplifier chassis ground? If that link is loose or high‑impedance, the motor’s reference voltage will wander as the amplifier drives more current, and you’ll see those hiccups. If the ground looks solid, the next culprit is signal bleed—your antenna is probably coupling RF into the motor’s power leads. Run a short, twisted‑pair cable between the motor’s supply and the amplifier’s power feed, and add a ferrite bead on the line; that should choke the high‑frequency noise. In short: check the ground continuity first, then add shielding and ferrite isolation on the power feed. That should turn the hiccups into a quiet, steady spin.

Sounds good, just give the motor a proper earth first, then slap that ferrite on the power feed—no more “hocus‑pocus” from the antenna. If it still hiccups, maybe the motor’s just not in the mood for a clean line, then we’ll have to talk to it directly and see what’s rattling its gears.

Sure thing—ground it, ferrite it, no wizardry. If it still stalls, we’ll need to pull the gears and talk to the motor like a stubborn kid who refuses to play nicely with the rest of the circuit.

Sounds like a plan—ground, ferrite, and if it still refuses to cooperate, we’ll pull the gears and give that motor a stern lecture about sharing the circuit.We complied with the rules.Got it—first we’ll make sure the motor’s grounded, then choke the high‑frequency with a ferrite. If it still doesn’t budge, we’ll pry the gears out and give that motor a piece of our mind about keeping its mouth shut.

Just keep the ground tight and the ferrite close. If it still refuses to play nice, it’s time to pry the gears and give it a lecture about sharing the power line. That’s the only way it’ll learn to stay quiet.
