Matt, you will always hear hum on talk battery supplies, because they are unbalanced. When you feed the talk battery through the "A" relay or equivalent of an intercom talk path, the balanced windings of the relay act as a retard coil, and filter out the noise. You are obsessing over squat, and I say that in the nicest possible way. Did you get the 2565HK cord I sent you for Christmas?
