Those converters seem like the ideal solution but I wonder what RFI they generate especially if in close proximity to the radio. Perhaps they are well filtered. Has anyone tried using one with an AM radio?

Symon.

EDIT: The above assumes the converter is of the buck type but if a simple 2:1 iron mains transformer is employed then there will be no RFI issues. It's difficult to determine as there is little technical detail in the specs of these converters.
