Guys,

I guess I need to clarify a bit about my earlier statements about
"having the engine turned off!!". There was fair number of stations
(albeit CRI, Radio Australia, RNZI, BBC, NHK Japan etc) that I could
listen to while driving, but when it faded at a certain point the
vehicle ignition / electric / motor noise would come through at certain
low revs / idle / cruising speed.

I did not attempt to try any noice / electronic condensor on the power
supply etc as it usually was not too bad. Its just I usually am
stationary on the side of the road / camping when playing with the
shortwave

The other bad thing for my Pajero 4x4 is the antenna is it has an
Electric Antenna, and so possible if I fitted a larger am/fm whip it
may MAY yeild better results.

But I also am interested to hear from other people who have installed a
SW car radio to gauge how it performed for them while driving

Cheers
Mark

Somebody said a while back that it worked acceptably only with the car
engine turned off...

Can others tell me about the level of performance achieved? For SWLing with
the car turned OFF, I'll just bring along my ICF-2010.

I don't want to do serious DXing on the car radio, but I do want to hear
major international outlets while driving around. If that's not feasible,
it's not worth the price.

Thanks!
