[Icom] 706 Mobile Op.& Nissan

[Jerry Curry]

Malcolm,

Before you go to the trouble of installing the rig and antenna you might 
want to make a quick survey of the vehicle's noise.  I have an '89 
Nissan and the electric fuel pump noise gives me a good S7-9 signal all 
the time.

You can make a 'snoop' coil with about 10' of RG58.  Attach it to a loop 
coil of about 3-5 turns  (3" diameter) and you should be able to sniff 
around the fuel tank connector, the engine's control computer, the 
ignition harness etc.

Most of my noise is from the fuel pump...I'm looking at buying a new 
truck but I'm going to do the survey on any vehicle before I buy it.

Hopefully your 2002 Nissan will be better suppressed than the 89-92 models.
