My Sprinter is rated by Mercedes to handle 100W at HF. I'm pushing that a little, but that is another reason I am satisfied with 250W. Sprinters are used a lot for ambulances, work trucks, and government vehicles, all with radios, so I figure if they had RF problems, they would have to fix them. I have a carefully planned installation with good grounding and ferrites on the cables. I do notice a lot of noise from other vehicles, way more than is coming from mine.
I've done a lot of RF compatibility work, both conducted and radiated RF emissions and RF susceptibility. I see minimal RF emissions and no RF susceptibility issues with my vehicle, but it is designed with RF in mind. It is full of digital busses. Most vehicles are not designed for RF compatibility. 73, Mark W7MLG ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
