In my 2018 JL, I have a Yaesu FTM-300 installed and when trying to receive transmissions when the vehicle is running this video shows what happens. I have tried the following things and nothing has resolved my issue, nor have I found the source of this interference.
Has anyone with one of these newer wranglers experienced such a noise problem? Any idea what could be generating this RFI? Watch the video and see how awful it is... I have also recently installed a GMRS mobile in the Jeep and it suffers from the same problem.
Here's my reddit video post - click the title in photo
- tried different radios, antennas, coax and connectors
- moved antenna from back of Jeep to front and both sides
- moved body of radio to different locations
- tried ferrite beads
- tried an inline power line filter
- extensive grounding options
- used an HT on battery power to rule out the installed radio and antenna in the Jeep (the HT suffers the same fate)
- not a multipath problem
