[RFI] 1999 Ford Diesel Pickup.jRFI Issues.

[W0MU Mike Fatchett]

Ford is known for noisy fuel pumps.  What year is the truck?  Ford has a 
filter that they can install in the fuel pump.  I had it done but 
honestly could not tell any difference.  My truck is a 2002.

You mentioned one of the batteries so I bet you have a diesel.  N0KV has 
a Ford Diesel you might contact him.

I know the bonding between the bed and the cab and the chassis are all 
suspect too.  I have never had any problems with RF with truck.

Now when I transmit especially on 40mtrs the engine starts to cut out even a higher RPM. I guess RF is getting into the computer. Has anyone else had that problem and if so were you able to cure it.
