[Icom] Auto Noise in MKIIG

[Dave Jeffries]

If you're talking about Ford's fix, they have a service bulletin out
advising the installation of a ford supplied (for roughly $87.00 USD)
filter right onto the pump down inside the tank.

I sure would like to know just what  (LC circuit)'s in that filter.   I
just might try to build my own.
$85.00 ----whew.
