[Icom] ignition noise suppression-mobile

Thu, 5 Sep 2002 22:41:31 -0400

While we are on the subject of mobile noise I wonder if an amateur operator
would get anywhere complaining to local utility companies about power line
noise when out driving around. This is the primary source of noise on my IC
706 mkII G. It's awful with in 500 yards of where I live and in various
areas when I am mobile.  I bet the FCC wouldn't be as quick to defend us on
this one. Although certain members  have suggested that if we want to
operate and are the victim of a CCand R we should do it mobile. Any
thoughts?
