[VHFcontesting] RFI and car computer

[Stephen Hicks, N5AC]

Nope ... my vehicle now has the ECM (or whatever they are calling the car
computer), a nav system and I have installed a Motorola MW-520 carputer and
my own microprocessor control system.  Nothing seems to be a problem ...
except the inverter in my generators which hash up 6m and 2m.

We just bought a new (to us) 2007 Chrysler Town and Country Minivan.  The
salesman went over the fact that the van has a computer in it a couple of
times.  Has anyone had problems with their rig affecting the on-board
vehicle computer?  This is not the on-star or GPS computer, just the run
which runs the vehicle.  I would be mainly going mobile on 6m at around 35
watts or so on SSB and CW.
