[Elecraft] Mobile high power

[Fred VE3FAL]

Back in 1995 during the Nordic Games here in Thunder Bay I was using my parents Ford SUV and using a 2 meter handheld and the vehicle was surging faster as I talked. When I would unkey the vehicle would go back to normal.

I do use LMR-240uf throughout and employ numerous snap-on ferrites as well as a full toroidal RF choke between the output of the amp and the antenna.
