It must be time to stir up the pot again  8*)

I'm looking to mount a relatively cheap radio
in my commute vehicle - maybe something like
a simple 2m mobile... preferably with a remote
head...

Now my commute runs between the Santa Clarita
Valley and W. LA - through the 14, down the 5
and the 405 --- absolute hell for intermod...

Does anything currently on the market hold up 
pretty well against the grunge?

Thanks...   //Brent

I see that the list owner has chosen to disallow direct
responses to the original poster, so now the entire list 
has to be subjected to my response to you.  What a pity.

I see the following requirements in your message:
cheap, remote head, and good intermod rejection.

That being the case, I would seriously consider
something in the order of the Motorola Micor or 
GE MASTR II mobiles.  These radios easily meet 
your three stated criteria.

 Well, I figured that most of us have to deal with intermod
 at some level, so the topic might have general appeal  8*)

 That's not a bad idea - but are these as frequency-agile
 as, say, a Yeasu or Icom?  

 Thanks for the input 8*)  //Brent

oh yeah , a Motorola Micor and a trimed fiberglass whip.heh heh heh .and
heck, you can get those radios really cheep. but its the channel elements
that kill you. i live in santa clarita and thats one of the only radios that
doesnt get hammered from stuff on oat mountain. but truthfuly i have a
Kenwood TM G707A 2/440 radio. it rarely gets bothered by noise and i have
done the MOD that expands the recieve giving me the 300, 800 (cell blocked)
and 900 mhz bands. if you dont MOD it, it will be even better

no really.. the Kenwood TMG707A is a great radio. just dont do a wide band
mod on it and you will be in great shape, its remoteable, cheap and doesnt
got hit with noise (when you dont mod it)

Hi all,

What in the wide band mod affects the RX filters for the ham bands that
would allow less IM rejection? Are the filters software addressed?

I'm sorry - I wasn't very clear - I was refering to the commercial
gear (Micor, etc).   I've been looking at the '707A, and you're 
right, from all I've heard, it appears to be nearly ideal...

I've just gotta slip the cost of that and the new antenna under
the XYL's radar  8*)   {some of those monobands are going for 
less than the cost of a nice dinner for two 8*) }

well here is the thing. I got the radio (Ken TM G707A) and ran it for a bit
UN modified. ran it in the ham shack going through an MFJ DiPlexer then had
a Cushcraft 14810A (10 ele) for 2 meters and a KLM 14 on 440. both were
pointed pretty much at Oat mountain. never heard ANY noise. then i modified
it giving it 300, 500, 800 (cell blocked) and 900 MHz recieve on top of the
108-190 and 400-500 MHz stock coverage. the next day i noticed it was
getting intermod from paging equipment on Oat. thats all i know about it.
why it does it i dont know. i didnt build the thing so how that radio truly
works inside is beond me.
