I was wondering if anyone could maybe point me in the right direction regarding an ongoing problem with my mobile install. With my pre-amp off, I have no noise floor but when I turn it on my noise floor rises to an S5, and reception isn't that good with my antenna on VHF Low Band.
I have narrowed down the a few causes of RFI:
Power Windows
Regenerative Braking
High Beams/Lights - Only for the first 10 minutes or so of starting the car.
I mounted my HF antenna on the front it's a Alpha MOTO-FMJ on a piece of bent steel and attached it to one of the screws that hold my hood in place. I have tinned copper strapping on the bottom of the antenna to the car frame, and the same on the doors.
I also attached a diagram of my wiring, maybe someone sees something I don't. I wonder if it's the inverter or if I need a line rectifier.
Any help/feedback would be greatly appreciated!
