No. It means that the noise is coming from outside your car. Your antenna and radio can't tell the difference between this noise and the desired signal, so improving your antenna or increasing your receiver's sensitivity will simply increase the signal and noise in the same proportion. And because it's not coming from your own car, there's no way for you to reduce the noise. In other words, there's really nothing you can do to improve the S/N ratio in the presence of that noise. Roy Lewallen, W7EL increase the signal and noise in the same proportion. Is there anyway to "filter" the 810 frequency somehow? |
