[Yaesu] Battery Powered Vehicles

[Mark Tyler]

Ray,

Thanks for being the List owner of the Yaesu Reflector

As a mobile operator the Hybird vehicles make operating near them impossible; when the car is on battery power. (Rig is FT-900)  In addition, HF operation from a Toyota Hybrid based on data three years ago, is not possible. Quoting another amateur who has one.

I am not sure on how to address this new source of interference.
There is a reflector devoted to interference where this discussion can continue.

I think we've let the topic of battery-powered vehicles run its' course.

Let's pick a different topic, please.

  AND, let's edit our responses a bit more... this message is an example of 
how NOT
to edit things down...

Hi Darrell,

Now how about battery-powered vehicles fitted with steam radios?

Thinks: an Express Dairy milk float with a Pye Cambridge...

Cheers for now, 73,

Hi All.........

Just thought I'd change the thread's subject line.
That way I don't have to open and read a message which has nothing to do
with Yaesu radios!
Hope nobody really minds!! ha ha

Cheers....
