[OZAPRS] RE: New wheels - dare I use anything that transmits?

[Shaun Pitcher]

No Prob with my XR6T at 50 watts to a 5/8 or 1/4 vert on the bonnet.  I do 
plan to put two earth straps on the bonnet to the body as I get engine 
noise on receive and the bonnet is not that well connected to the rest of 
the body.

I can however set off the local newsagents alarm with a well positioned 
beacon (parked out the front).  Must try the VN commodore thing next time 
I am on the freeway! 

Regards, 
Shaun Pitcher

I have a TM-D700 permanently wired into my Falcon XR6 - 
When it beacons the Car radio/ Air Conditioning display goes berserk and 
extra segments light up or go off ..
