AM Radio

I listen to talk radio often on the AM band. I used to get a distant station fairly good then I had some transmission work done on my Lincoln. Now the reception is very noisy while the engine is running. I can no longer enjoy this station because of the static and engine noise on this channel. Any of you guys have any ideas as to what could be causing this? ANy help would be appreciated.

It's most likely RFI. Pick up a power noise filter and that should cure the problem. If it doesn't, I would suggest adding another ground to the radio and picking up a snap over ferrite suppressor.

The key here is hat you did not have the problem previously. Either a connection was not put back together properly, or some wiring was rerouted so now it picks up the noise.

Good luck!

Thanks ReAx and Aerostar. Now where can I buy these items and where do I install them in the system? I think I know what a power noise filter is but what is a " snap over ferrite suppressor"?
