Richard,
It helped some, but I still had the whining when engaging the rear power strip (I did not realize it was from it; plus I did not have it in other radios; I guess transformer vs AC/DC makes some difference in reaction). So when aligning now this specific radio, I turn off the rear strip and plug my generator in the front one, that has no active devices inside. I might yank that converter from the rear strip: I do not need it. All I wanted was the strip.
Oh, and this is an X-cap, so even though people call them "safety", I don't; for me the safety is the Y-cap.
And the resistor is just for bleeding, so I don't get zapped after I pull the plug and touch it.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
