just make sure your tinfoil hat is properly grounded.

And Brian says it's gotta be at least 9 square feet.


Only wear that one south of the border.

you'd blend right in hehehe


You know it, got my toes in the sand loud and proud. 10-8. :)

I
have seen brake failure with as little as 60 watts on VHF-hi (a Ford).

Really? That's whacked. How the hell did you see it?


Happened when I was working at a 2-way shop in Oregon. Since the auto
makers dumped the responsibility of RF compatibility onto the radio
makers, the procedure (as described in the manuals) for installing a
commercial radio into -any- vehicle requires that it be driven and
keyed up with the brakes applied. One failed the test.

Was there fluid in the master cylinder on that one? In other words, could
it have been the brakes were bad to begin with? How many were tested?

Yep. Mechanic checked it out completely. It was the radio.

Beats me. I would suppose it can happen with other makes since the
manuals (Motorola, GE, Uniden, etc.) say to test -all- vehicles. But I
have also seen GM cars/trucks get screwed up -without- a radio due to
RFI from the vehicle's own harness wreaking havoc on the oxygen sensor
wire. I rewire all O2 wires with teflon coax just to be sure. And I
don't think I would do fiberglass hood & fenders without wrapping the
entire harness in some sort of shielding.

These modern electrical system are proving to be just too fragile for
me. Over the winter I've been building up a 4.3 with a Q-jet for the
S10, and as soon as spring gets here I'm going to drop it in and gut
the truck of all that computer crap. You can color me retro, but don't
color me stranded on the side of the road because some overpriced
sensor got plugged with a little road dust!
