Tried the radio without the 10 AA
| batteries it normally has, and it was a whining, howling mess. |

Richard:
Try installing a 21,000 mf capacitor right after the reg/rec, 12VDC
and good ground. It will soak up all that whining from the
alternator. I operate my little ICOM A3 without the ICOM battery
installed. Works for me.

PS: During the Firestar days, I had an STS followed by a KX99 which I
recharged from the 447 alternator. Tried it once without the
capacitor, then promptly reinstalled it. However, this was a small
capacitor that I got in a kit from JC Whitney called a battery
eliminator for dirt bikes.

Thanks for the advice, that would have worked great.
However, I just stuck some nicads back in the radio,
that way I didn't need to even look at the wires.
KISS is the only way I can get anything done anymore...

Forgiving is tough, being forgiven is wonderful, and God's grace really is amazing. |
