Re: Re: HAM antenna
The "problem" with this info is it does not cover one of the bigger
threats to car electronics or how to deal with it. One of the biggest potentail problems is a RF feedback through power leg of transceiver into cars electrical system. None of those tips deal with that. The way to combat that is to install a filter choke in power legs of transceiver to block it. I have done this for many years in many vehcle with Ham radio equipment and I have never had a problem even with cars that actually advise against it.

You'd be amazed how much RF travels down the power line. The worst offenders are amplifiers. And high-power audio amps have DC-DC inverters in them that create mucho hash. |
