Hi Chris, I would suspect RFI, or voltage drop. Snap on toroid cores, and shielded wires can reduce RFI on the cables. A battery like a gel-cell could condition the input voltage.
My mobile has wigged out a few times, I suspect voltage drop or spike when cranking vehicle. I usually run through an ignition switch relay with no problems. Recently after setting the override switch, and after cranking it stopped TXing until power was cycled. Happened several times. I just have to remember to turn off the override switch before cranking. The relay is on the same fuse as the AM/FM radio, so it turns off during cranking. Another time My cell phone antenna was next to the Nuvi cable, answered the phone and started getting bogus APRS message alerts that were corrupted position packets of other users and digis. It stopped reporting position until power was cycled. I have several ot2's deployed at remotes sites, on conditioned power, never had any problems with them.
