Suppressing Engine Noise
Posted: Tue Mar 04, 2014 11:27 pm
My mobile shack consists of a vauxhall astra 1.6 petrol engine. My main radio in which I use for HF is the ic-706mk2g. The aerial which I use when on the move is a hustler on a short mast on a tri mag.
In order to receive stations I must have the noise blanker turned on, which cuts out all the whine from the accelerator, received stations are slightly weaker signals.
When car engine is off its "perfect"
You may have heard me signing as portable using a 66` doublet at 21`this is because it works so well for me with both rx and tx signals.
Can anybody suggest the best way in suppressing this intereference please and may be I could activate more TM SQUARES ON THE MOVE
Best Wishes
