[Elecraft] Mobile high power

[Mark Goldberg]

My Sprinter is rated by Mercedes to handle 100W at HF. I'm pushing that a
little, but that is another reason I am satisfied with 250W. Sprinters are
used a lot for ambulances, work trucks, and government vehicles, all with
radios, so I figure if they had RF problems, they would have to fix them. I
have a carefully planned installation with good grounding and ferrites on
the cables. I do notice a lot of noise from other vehicles, way more than
is coming from mine.

I've done a lot of RF compatibility work, both conducted and radiated RF
emissions and RF susceptibility. I see minimal RF emissions and no RF
susceptibility issues with my vehicle, but it is designed with RF in mind.
It is full of digital busses. Most vehicles are not designed for RF
compatibility.
