[Antennas] Reducing Ignition Noise

[Dr. William J. Schmidt, II]

Notorious for injector noise too.  Ford has a bulletin on RFI for ham 
radio... I got mine at the car/RFI display at Dayton last year.  You might 
try Ford... they are sort-of on the hook to help you since they know it can 
be a problem.

Subject: [Antennas] Reducing Ignition Noise


I am looking for ideas to reduce the received ignition noise in my mobile 
application. I have a Yaesu FT 890AT mounted in my 2000 Ford F250.  I am 
using a hamstick that is mounted to the bed of the truck. The DC line runs 
direct from the battery and the radio is mounted overhead in the cab. I am 
getting a fair amount of what sounds like sparkplug noise that varies with 
the engine speed that I would like to minimize.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
