[Mobile-Portable] HF mobile in a Trailblazer?

[Floyd Soo]

Gang,

I would like to hear from any of you that have experience in operating mobile HF from one of the new Chevy Trailblazers.  I would like to know what the RFI/EMI situation is, as well as where and how the HF rig was mounted near the drivers/operator's position.  I use a 706 MK II G in a Chevy Blazer at the moment and will probably move to a Trailblazer by summer.  Both Chevy Blazers that I have operated out of have had impulse noise coming out of the engine compartment.  80% or 90% of that noise was taken care of by the noise blanker, so I've had a very enjoyable time operating HF for the last 4 years from my Blazer.  I hope to be able to continue to do the same thing from the Trailblazer.  Any thoughts?

Thanks for the read!
