[Mobile-Portable] 2003 Tahoe Ignition Noise

Mon, 15 Sep 2003 19:05:25 -0400

Gee I wouldn't compare it to a Lexus. I have a 2001 Lexus RX300 whose
computer system will wipe out an AM aircraft receiver from 20 feet away. I
found this consistent with every RX300 we tested, even with the ignition in
the key out OFF position. Hash like you would not believe! It will break
squelch on every scanner I tested from about 119MHz through 135 MHz.
