Hey All, Ed (WRCQ448 on GMRS here)
I have a really dumb question. I have a close friend (ham op) who is having a big issue with his vehicle pretty much being a faraday cage. It’s a Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid. When it switches to hybrid mode pretty much any radio signal that’s not AM/FM/HD cuts out. It’s very annoying and rather than having to rip the car apart to try and fix this, where should we start? Just some information, the antenna sits on a diamond hood mount, wiring is run through either a grommet in the body or through the firewall, would have to verify. There’s almost no info that I could find that shows any sort of fix. Would ferrite be a good start? Do you need more info? Kind of lost here.
Thanks.
Ed
