In my case with the band saw, the solution- 100% of the solution- was simple reprogramming, thanks to Wes et all at SS over the phone.
Nothing physical involving anything else.

"My first PowerPro omitted radio interference to AM bands. Therefore I could check if the machine was left on by turning on the car's radio. My re-built PowerPro offers absolutely NO radio interference."

artlinux Nailed the 4 issues!!!!\ Art has been reading!
There are no other issues that I know of.
Weren't there some pulleys with off center holes?

As I have posted earlier in another post, I too have the RI problem. So yesterday I took a cheapy Radio Shack battery powered radio into the shop. Absolutely no static or pulsing interference on the AM band what so ever. I turned both radios on. The AC powered radio had the interference and the portable did not. Appears the PP is introducing some AC noise into the line. But that would not explain the other posts about hearing interference in their car radios. So I am dazed and confused. FYI

Maybe you need to check the FM Band.
Battery and AM...no noise
Battery and FM...???
110VAC and AM...noise
110VAC and FM...???

Hmmm, what date did you get your PP? Got mine mid 2013 and have interference on all AM radios. SS indicated that they have a partial fix ready. May be that they have it implemented on newer orders and rebuilds.
You did your test on the AM band, right?

And to answer Dan's question I purchased my PP July 12, 2012. I chose the complete factory completed headstock upgrade.
Doesn't really clear anything up does it?

The strange thing about this interference is that some shops seem to be sensitive to conductive emissions (through the 110 VAC connection) while others appear to be sensitive only through radiated emissions (like car radios).
I suspect that the contradictions stem from the fact that there are several (many) people reporting and there are no ground rules for testing. Everyone making the observation a little bit different.
