Ham Radio - CB - Trail Communications I have found that fourwheeling and ham radio go hand in hand. Post any questions or comments about the great hobby of amateur radio here. Of course CB'ers are welcome also. Ray, AE6H and Joe, N1LVN both moderate this forum.

I think the cause is the fuel pump combined with something in the engine.

Where can I get those "kits" to reduce the fuel pump noise?
Move the Antenna to another location on the vehicle or maybe a mag mount on the roof.

Check out the beginning of the forum for a good setup.
