Tim,

Thank you for the suggestion. I've pretty well isolated the RFI to the spark
plug coil packs that are on every cylinder. Unfortunately, I can't get to
them to add a ferrite as a possible solution. I'll speak with my mechanic
about the feasibility of getting to them.

73,

Mack

entering the radio via the power leads. Try finding the source of noise in
the car and choking THAT. Use your radio and a piece of coax with a small
loop at the end as a sniffer. Good luck & 73, Tim W2UI
