What is a ferite bead? The one talked about below.

The "Y" harness might be acting like an antenna and causing interference
with the receiver.  I have had this problem and fixed it by running the base
of the "Y" cable through a ferite bead (one turn) to choke off the RF. This
worked with an airtronics receiver.  When I install servos in the wings of
my gliders I go ahead and put the ferrite bead in every installation and
have not had any problems since.
