Garth Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 Have never been able to use a walkie talkie successfully in my car - Sigma with Emerald ECU - when stationary they work fine but as soon as I am on the move everything goes pear shaped with intermittent reception and no transmission! Can anyone recommend an Auto Electrician who I could talk to about trying to sort out the issue? Anyone had similar issues? Thanks Garth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Jonathan Kay Posted April 8 Member Share Posted April 8 What type of walkie-talkie is it, and which band? I note that you're not describing crackles proportional to engine speed. Does the problem occur with the ignition ON but the engine not running? Any non-factory additions? USB charging point? Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garth Posted April 8 Author Share Posted April 8 Thanks Jonathan I have not used it for a few years so cannot remember the finer details of what it was doing exactly! Am going to take the car out with a friend and try it to remind myself of how it was behaving. Can tell you I started off with a Baofeng UV-5R, then tried a Wouxun KG-639E and then a Kenwood TK-3501. Still have them all so will try them all again! Will report! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
