How did the no antenna test go ?

If its still there sans antenna a DC noise filter from a car Hi-Fi shop may help.

One worked a treat on my old VT Commodore.

Have you tried turning the noise blanker level up from the default setting ?

Also does the noise appear when the antenna is unplugged ?

Is your antenna at the front or the rear of the car ?

Is the radio's case grounded straight to the car body.

Cheers

Its baack
Gero making it into Perth, Cataby full scale.

It was audible but scratchy in the dips today during a drive along Ocean Reef Rd, heading east from the marina to Wanneroo Rd.

It has its own 3dBi antenna. BBS is still on air.

Its back on air 145.575 MHz.

I believe one may be on display at the Hamfest this Sunday.
