An update to my quest to remove the fuel pump noise in my 2001 Ford e-150
full size van:
It can't be done, or if it can, I don't know how to.
I am getting s7 fuel pump noise and even after installing a filter (with
two caps & an inductor in it) in line with the pump's + side a few inches
from the pump itself, I heard no difference in noise. This is after the
dealer did an RFI TSB which did help a lot on the AM side of the stock
radio, but it made no difference on the ham radio.
I know positively that it is the fuel pump; after I cut the wire I turned
the ignition on - no noise.
So the Icom 706/2g is coming out. All HF bands are completely useless with
this much noise.
