Every time I pass a semi on the highway, I can hear junk coming from the
engine computer, or something, on VHF.  It does have a carrier and isn't
just injectors.  That's an additional noise.  It doesn't matter what
repeater freq I'm monitoring, squelch is open from just about the cab
door until I'm clear of his bumper.  Pretty trashy.  I don't know how
some of these truckers run VHF gears in them.
