    GRRRrrr. in one week 2 radios go down (need 148 help)

    Well I'll try posting here and looking for one (1969) but I have a wack of others from old radios (some new too) and was wondering if there's a chart or something I can look at online. Maybe I have one that will work just as good or better, I hope. I hate being regulated to AM...

    Another Noise question

    like I said, the radio is straight to the battery, we have a noise filter on it as well. It is all engine RF coming through the antenna. and the wife doesn't want me to drill a hole in the roof for a mount there so we have to stick with the fender mount :roll:

    Another Noise question

    Ok, I will try this out. I have a 0.01 mf Cap in my parts bin. One question though, will the heat effect the cap? It gets ripping hot there. Also what about water? Thanks everyone for the replies

    Another Noise question

    Hi, been a lurker here for about a year, great site. Now, the question: We have a 2000 durango with an electric cooling fan. our RF noise level is unacceptable! I bonded the hood and it's no better, and when the fan kicks in it makes the radio useless. So, how do I filter the fan...
