Manic Moore Posted August 20, 2005 Report Share Posted August 20, 2005 A question for you techies out there. Have recently finished my A frame and a new base loaded arial, I have noticed that as soon as I turn on the GPS the Transmission signal bar shows 75% power. This only goes up normal when I press the handset button to transmit. Any ideas. I currently have the coax running past the GPS arial and the 2 cables running together down the A frame. Must be a black art these electronics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Posted August 21, 2005 Report Share Posted August 21, 2005 I had this problem. I found the only cure was to keep the cables as far apart as possible as well as the aerials. Also found a big improvement running the VHF off its own dedicated feed from the battery. Still with a switched fused line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob F Posted August 25, 2005 Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 Gordon, I'd go along with what Barry has said. Try temporarily unstrapping the cables and separating them (power and aerial) and see if it improves things. BF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
