I found the link I was talking about here http://97vette.com/sporttrac/rfi_fix/rfi_fix.html It may help somebody that doesn't know about this problem Ron

I know we have had 3 different ford rangers 2-99 1-2000 and the fuel pump noise in the radios was terrible until we put the ferrite beads on the fuel pump lines. The reason I said ford trucks was that I ran onto a trucking forum where a lot of the guys had the same problems an thats how they...

Heres some pretty good info for a lot of grounding stuff for radios http://www.iceradioproducts.com/10.html Ron

Ford trucks have a hell of a problem with fuel pump noise unless they have changed something in the last few years. And I'm sure that would affect the way the radio worked with some power behind it also. Ronnie

Thanks alot Doc. I might call BC today an see what I can come up with. I have an outside base antenna, an I am only about 5 miles from the airport. Ron

How about one of the better bearcats? I didn't know you could program one to scan the whole band, but that is what I was really after I guess. Thanx, Ron B.

Where can I find that base unit on top there? I guess I'm hunting one that scans the whole a/c band without having to program all of the freq's in to it. Cat

I really don't know who it is, but he really tells it like it is. Cat

I always listen on Sat nite here to Kut the Krap. That guy really lets it go sometimes....LMAO Cat

Where can I find a 1/2 way decent aircraft only receiver that doesn't cost an arm an a leg. 108 to 136 mhz I think. Thanx, Cat

Ahh, sorry. I had in mind the little lights that light up the meters an stuff for some reason.... Cat

Was it something they carried? I just run across that site one day while looking for stuff for my wifes sign biz. Cat

Here feller, try this out. They look like they are about $1 each http://www.ledsupply.com/5mm-leds.php?gclid=CIGa5-a1sJACFQwsOAodGALDNw Catdriver :)

Got a chance to pick up a maco 200 for almost nothing. It looks an works like new. Are these a pretty good amp? Cat

My 2547 talks an receives great, I have a D-104 on it an have a Maco 5/8 wave antenna an couldn't be happier. The only downfall with the radio I can find is the cheap-azz little legs they have to prop the front up with. One of mine broke about 2 weeks after I got it. Ron B.

Some places say that I probably will hafta have the tug9 d-104 because it has more switching contacts in it than the tug8 mike does. Ronnie

I have it wired right but I keep getting an RF squeal (not feedback) when I plug the mike in. Pin 1-wht-audio 2-shield 3-TX-red 4-Blk-RX whats the story here? Ronnie :cry:

Maybe I better keep making custom M/C parts instead of an antenna for wifes shop. :lol: Ronnie :D

Can a person build a real true 5/8 wave antenna without having to use a coil or such at the bottom (the one inside) like the maco 5/8 does? I own a small machine shop an was just wondering what it would take without having to sub out parts for one. Ronnie B. The Toolman

I used to be a Royce tech back in the 70's. Pretty much all of their radios were good talkers. Ron B.
