and a nearby ground gave me 8 volts in the cab. I got 12 volt

connected direct to battery. I'm making a video for YouTube. <br>
Is AMRAD doing FD? If not perhaps members have other sites they
might attend? Who are the big players?</font><br>

<font face="Comic Sans MS">Earlier this year I towed my 94 Ranger
to the scrap yard. I had it set up for mobile ops, particularly
Field Day. I pulled the setup out of the old truck before
junking it. I had the 12 volt line running right to the bolts
on the battery clamps with inline fuses on pos and neg wires.
It was a bit awkward, but worked for 15 years. I now have a
2008 Ranger and I looked in the engine compartment today for a
good hook up point. There is a large pair of wires (1/4 inch or
more) running from the battery 18 inches to the engine
compartment fuse box. They are bolted on and it looks like a
good place to hook up. About 2~3 inches away is a ground bold
welded to the chassis. A concern I have is moving the
connection away from directly on the battery. Will RF gremlins
be encouraged to mess with the trucks systems? Should I put
chokes on the #6 wire I'm using? Should I put a capacitor
between pos and ground at the trucks fuse box? I guess going
the other way anything I do to keep the radio from putting RF
into the truck will also work in keeping truck generated RF out
of my rig, is that true?</font><br>
