I am new to the forum (actually my first post) and am waiting for my 2024 Wildtrak to be built. I have a question about engine noise on a ham radio set up. I had a 2015 F150 that I installed an Icom 7000 in. I had a lot of noise on the receive signal. I did a ton of grounding which helped a lot but could never get rid of it completely. I had read that there was an issue with the fuel pump generating noise on two-way radios. There was a Technical Service Bulletin on it from Ford and a filter that could be installed however the fuel pump was mounted in the gas tank and it was a costly install. Has anyone heard of this with the Bronco? Also, is anyone having any noise issues with their Ham Radio install in their Bronco? I would be interested to hear what you did to resolve this? Just trying to be proactive before it arrives so I know what I need to do. I will be running the Icom 7000 again with a Tarheel II for HF and a dual band UHF/VHF as well. Any information, tips, suggestions would be really helpful. I am also willing to share my install experiences with anyone if it would be helpful.
Thanks,
Thanks,
