Dave,
In addition to filtering various points mentioned in replies to your posting
it is normally essential that you feed the radio DC power direct from the
pickup battery via a suitable protection fuse. This minimises noise to and
from
the pickup electrical system.
We changed to Ford vehicles at the works QTH from our previous GMC in the
fall of 2001. Never had any interference problems from our 100W Hi band FM
mobiles with any of the vehicles, though SSB may be more of a problem. The
latter
vehicles we used had the 5.2L V8 gasoline engines with fuel injection. These
should have been more susceptible to interference effects from 2 way radios
than diesel engines, but never had any problem.
The only problem we had with our 4 X 4 Ford pickup was the shock of going
back to cart springs and solid axles on the front after the relative comfort
of
the GMC with independent front suspension.
