12.4 Electrical interference suppression
Interference generated by the alternator of the engine may
occasionally cause problems. The RS81/RS82 has been
designed to minimise the effects of outside interference.
However, precautions should still be taken: route the power
supply and antenna cables away from the engine compart-
ment. The cable run should not be using the same trunking as
other cables carrying high current. The antenna cable should
also be kept separate from the radio’s power cable.
Engines with spark ignition – as well as some refrigerators –
should be fitted with suppressors. Your local agent should be
able to give advice on this, and supply suppression kits where
necessary.
