Good Evening, After a month of trying to eliminate noise/hash issues with my ICOM-IC-2820, using a magmount antenna on my extended cab pickup. I have come to the conclusion with the help of hams here and elsewhere that the mag mount is definately the culprit as far a RFI. I just ordered the Comet SB...

Good Morning Edwin, I believe your correct after having exhausted everything that has been suggested. I moved the antenna around the truck on the roof but don't have the ability to move it elsewhere on this truck. The truck has protective non-metalic caps on the side rails/tail gate/bed has a bed li...

Hi Paul, Thank you for the suggestion listed above concerning my RFI issue. I would agree that may have to be the next step in resolving my problem.Would you agree after testing with no direct power connected from the truck that the issue is antenna related? It seems that something is backing throug...

Hi Jerry, The truck does have ABS and the Central Control System but I have no idea about the ASR. I tried another experiment this afternoon after finding that using an emergency battery and dis-connecting from the trucks battery. It didn't change a thing as far as noise while driving. I tried this....

Good Afternoon Albert,
The truck does have cruise control but it is never used. Thank you for your suggestion.

Good Morning K4KK, Thank you for the information concerning noise issues with the IC-2820. I have a Tram 1180 dualband magnetic antenna sitting centered via the roof of my Suzuki Equator Extended Pickup. The SWR is excellent and i've had very good reports & it seems to be doing the job. I'll try the...

Good Afternoon, I just installed a ICOM IC-2820 in my pickup truck over the weekend. I made sure that I direct wired the rig to the battery. All connections are Anderson power pole connectors. I even added an extra fuse at the battery for extra protection. The wire was run through the firewall via a...

The distance depends on a number of factors. Since VHF & UHF is "line of sight", if there are hills, tall buildings, etc between you and the repeater, then you can't "hit" the repeater regardless of how much power you're running. Believe me, my current qth is DEAD on 2-meter machines. Factor in pro...

Good Evening,
Does this dual band perform less than/equal to or better than dual bands of equal or higher price with the same power out?
Thanks,
John
