Ned, thanks for the reply. I am getting quite a lot of spark plug hash
directly from the distributor, and I found the source using several loops of
hookup wire as an antenna. It is only within a few inches of the distributor
that the loop picks up the noise. I have two transceivers, one for UHF and
VHF, and there are no problems with this radio at all. The other is HF,
10 to 160 meter, 100 watt SSB, and this is the radio with the problem.
I run an S-7 noise floor with the engine on.

This truck is my mobile amateur radio station. Thanks Doug N1DR
