I have problems with radios, and I wonder if LED globes are the culprits.
I did find a few 'budget ' globes caused much interference, but I still am having issues.
Is the an obvious fix please?

Could it be your inverter? Is it pure sine wave, or modified square wave?

Easy way to tell, turn all the LED globes off. If the interference is gone then it's a globe. Turn them on one at a time until the culprit is identified.

If the noise is still there with all bulbs off, then could well be your inverter, many of the cheaper (Chinese) inverters make electrical noise.

But, there are other possibilities. If you have a battery system with a charge controller, it could be the charge controller as well, certain well known brands are prone to this.

Its worse than I thought.
Any solution other than changing everything?

You don't have to change anything until you have narrowed down the source of the problem as I stated above. Have you isolated the problem device?
