alternator whine
 

Go to radio shack and buy a filter. If they still sell them that is.

Or build one yourself....get a old AM/FM radio. Rip out the AM antenna,
remove the wire. Wind several turns of heavy copper insulated wire around
it. Place a 500 to 1000uf cap on either end to ground. Positive to coil
of course. Connect in series with battery feed line to rig.

If that dont work, go to shielded cable and the filter and maybe reroute the
wire so its not too close to other wires.

I just installed a 2 meter Kenwood in my Ford Taurus.

The wire is a fused direct lead to the battery, but there is still an
annoying whine (annoying to my wife). Is there a simple fix? ..., no,
new wife is not an option

Too difficult to find a Chevy that will run that long.

I couldn't either. ;)
