Jim:
Have you checked the Explorer Forum? (http://www.4x4central.com or
http://explorerforum.com) Look in the ham radio subforum under the
hobbies forum. Also Ford has a radio installation guide that can be
downloaded from the web site.
Usually the main source for EMI in the Explorer is the fuel pump, but
the heater blower motor can put out a lot of noise, too. Most of the
noise pickup is via the antenna, but if you want to filter the power
leads, try coaxial feedthrough capacitors. They are made by
Cornell-Dublier and are available from RF Parts Company. Ferrite
chokes on the power leads may also work.
I've been able to run my Scout for on a 7 Ah gel cell for a couple of
hours at a time. You should be able to do the same with the Argonaut V.

Folks,
Anyone know of a commercial product that I can use to power my ARGO V
in my 2006 Explorer?
Previously ran Scouts and Argo in a 2000 Explorer with some noise but
workable. I can not lick the noise problem in the 2006 Explorer and need to
be independent of the car's battery.
Need to put out some counties. Help!
Thanks,
Jim, K4CFA
