Hi, Mark;
MG> I'm hoping somebody can give me some hints to cure a problem. I

MG> 40-50mhz, I get a lot of engine or electrical system interference.
MG> I've run the coax. through the molding over the top of the

MG> Any thoughts would be apperciated.
If it's a cellular "look-alike," is it designed to operate on low band?
Even if it is, all the cell antennas I have seen are about a foot long
or less. That is really too short to work very well on low band. You
would be better off using the car radio antenna.
MG> Also, does anyone know anything about the new KCPD and KCFD radio
MG> system, and is there any good way to scan this, what appears to be,

MG> channels when comparing the two. Just curious.
Sounds like a trunked system. What band are they operating on?
Catch you later... Good luck.
Ivy
... When the band is open you can work the world on a piece of wet string!
