Hello from Ohio , I don't have an Amateur Radio License but I do have a 2nd Class Radio Telephone license , that I have not used in thirty years, I used to repair , tune and install Mobile Radios and Mobile Phones ,before Cell Phones made most of those obsolete. I was just curious about your Club and how the effects of RF on modern cars, I remember installing a Car Phone in a Delorean and the 100 watt transmitter would energize a relay bank causing the wipers to go on when the transmitter was keyed. We ended up having to fabricate a shield for the relay bank , so I can imagine the possible complications of installling a Two Way Radio in a Maverick. Of course Police still use radios and they are driving modern cars.
