[RFI] Hybrid Car RFI

[w6rgs at cox.net]

Hi Roger,

My wife also has a Prius (2009) with about 100K miles.  We've had a 
Yaesu FT-7900 in it for about 8 years.  No RFI problems at all. 
Separated head is mounted under center of dash.  Unit is mounted under 
front passenger's seat.  Speaker is behind center console. Antenna is a 
Larsen KG2/70CXPL glass-mount on the left rear fixed window.

73, Bill W6RGS
