Evening from a cloudy UK,
Just a quick question - I do most of my scanning/monitoring whilst driving to and from work with a couple of radios running through the 12v accessory socket (or cigarette plug socket) to supply power the radios.
Radios and scanners are coupled to mag-mount style antennas on the roof.
I was wondering if anyone has any experience in radios in cars that are dual fuel as in petrol/electric or 100% electric...wondered if scanners suffered with any type of interference/noise etc ?
I know radio users at home struggle with listening certainly on the HF bands with interference and noise caused by power supplies, flat screen monitors etc , so if a vehicle is part of full electric does that cause an issue ?
Reason for asking is due to car change in next few weeks and electric is the buzz (excuse the pun !!!) word.
As always, thanks in advance and for all those US readers , happy memorial weekend.
Although UK does not celebrate that , we have Queens Jubilee coming up with extra days holiday, however I WILL be celebrating Memorial weekend as I work as a Firefighter on US Airforce Base here in East of England.
Be safe, thanks for taking time to read,
