I have a Texas Star 350HD installed in a Freightliner truck. It works really well when the engine is off.
When I key the mic with the engine running, the dashboard gages cycle, the warning lights and buzzers come on as if I've just turned the ignition off and on again. The advice I've received was proper bonding of the antenna mount, door and cab. If that didn't cure it, I was advised to- on the outside just before the antenna- "coil the coax over a 3 inch diameter pipe, 5 or 6 times taping it up really well, creating an RF choke to keep the signal from feeding back into the cab."
What do you all think of this?
