02-02-26 Alternator noise suppression Yes, I did a search of this site as well as YouTube and the internet at large. Now I'm more confused than before. I recently had a new audio system and backup camera... 02-02-26, 01:01 am Yes, I did a search of this site as well as YouTube and the internet at large. Now I'm more confused than before. I recently had a new audio system and backup camera installed in my 2009 Ram 1500 pickup truck. Yesterday I was told by a very experienced ham that I have a little "alternator noise" with transmission. He described it as "a whine and a little static" not loud and not interfering with his ability to understand my signal, but definitely present. Before the new sound system, nobody...

My question is, has anyone been able to use a BlueMax49ers cable for not only the VP8000 but for other multi-pin radios (including NX-5200, TK-2180’s, TK-5210’s)? Hoping to find a catch all cable! For those reading this, if anyone happens to have a Kenwood KPG-36x cable with the revision number 03550 they’d be willing to sell, that could also serve as my “catch all” cable. View article »

When I key down, the hotspot recognizes the transmission on 438.8 and displays it on local RF activity and it does go out to the network as verified online. Here is the problem. If I set my hotspot to 927.8 I can hear it transmit static talkgroups... Read more View article »
