Subject: RE: 2-way radio in tier 4 tractors the saga continues



The two way radio draws more current than most tractor loads other than high bean headlights and the starter. It needs good connections direct to the battery. The antenna needs a metal ground plane, else it uses the coax as part of the radiator and gives you and the broadcast radio more of a dose of radiation than it can handle. It might help to fit a low pass filter to the BC receiver coax at the radio, but a 115 or so MHz low pass filter isn't on off the shelf item. Then the more separation between the two way antenna and the BC antenna the less RF power the BC receiver will get.
