Do Electric Vehicles Create Radio Interference (RFI) How To Fix It

Post author By admin
Post date February 28, 2023

Sometimes making a noise free environment in an EV can be a challenge. However, there is a misconception that EVs all create RFI the renders our radios useless. Today I’ll show you the common RFI issues with EVs and how you can mitigate them. For greater information on mobile radio RFI mitigation, please watch my deep-dive on grounding and bonding for mobile radios: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2DJdUfT_TnM

For mobile installs, I use toroid from Palomar Engineers. I am not affiliated with Palomar, but hey have been gracious to offer a 10% off coupon to HRCC viewers, use the code "HRCC73" at checkout: https://palomar-engineers.com/

FINALLY! The #KX2 Has Internal Charging! Elecraft Kit Install!

Post author By admin
Post date February 21, 2023

For me, there was only one issue with the Elecraft KX2 cementing itself as one of the best QRP radios are on the market. It’s lack of ability to charge the internal battery from an external source via the radios power jack. Elecrafts new (KXIBC2) KX2 internal battery charger is out now: https://elecraft.com/products/kxibc2-kx2-internal-battery-charger-kit
