Radio reception
Discussion
quote:
I find that I get perfect radio reception when the engine isn't running but as soon as I start her up it deteriorates. Has anyone tried fitting a capacitor across the alternator to remedy this? If so, how successful was it?
Mine suddenly started doing this a few weeks ago as I was pootling down the M1. Very little signal coming out, swamped by a buzzing noise that matched the engine speed. I put up with it for several days and then set to with a meter to check for faulty earths, screening fallen off and so on. Turned out I'd accidentally changed it from FM to MW as I changed gear, changed it back and hey presto good as new. How stupid did I feel?
