Re: [amsat-bb] RFI in Toyota Prius

[Emily Clarke <w0eec@xxxxxxxxx>]

I had terrible RFI in my old but highly fun VW Corrado G60.  Everyone 
seemed to think originally it was from the plugs, battery, alternator.... I 
learned later that it could be piezioelectric fuel injectors!  YIKES!

I solved the problem with a minimum of trauma - I installed a Clearspeech 
DSP speaker in the car.  Fit right inside the headrest with some velcro and 
bingo!  Case Closed!

73,

Emily
