Hi,
I am beginner .. sorry if some of this seems like stupid question(s): I have installed a ICom F2010(2020) into my Jeep. The radio unit itself is installed in the back where the CD changer was, the antenna cable is a bit too long, so it is stored in a loop. Control unit is seperated with 8 meter cable from main unit and is mounted underneath the ashtray (so basically it is sitting above the gear box). The antenna is mounted on the roof the car: A GME 409L (ground independend), mounted on a spring S004 Frequencies used are in the 460Mhz-490Mhz range. The problems I am experiencing now: - Whenever the unit is Rx ... I can hear a whisling sound, which is only audible if I accelerate (there seems to be a relationship to the RPMs ?) - If the car is stationary I can Rx ok, once the car is moving (maybe 50 kmh) the Rx is braking up Is above normal, if not .. any ideas how to fix it ? I am aware that I should shorten the antenna cable, rather than looping it. Could the transmition be causing the whisling noises ? Is the antenna I am using a piece of s(*^&(^ and should I use a different one ? Thanks, D. |
