Color profile: Disabled Composite Default screen Engine Noise Suppression Interference from the impulse noise generated by the electrical systems of engines is sometimes a problem with radios. The MC 1010 has been designed to be essentially impervious to ignition impulse noise and alternator noise. However, in some installations it may be necessary to take measures to further reduce the effect of noise interference.
