Attn all Sparkys. I believe I've finally found communication nirvana with a newly acquired Autocom and parts (Thanks King Richard and TominCA) and have bench tested the system with success. The fly in the ointment is when I connected the battery eliminator for my Kenwood TK3101 which now exhibits static during transmissions, engine on or off. When operating the Kenwood with it's own Ni-cad battery, no issue, with the battery eliminator wired to the bike, interference. I've tried changing the ground, no change. I'm considering wiring a relay into the Kenwood battery eliminator power source which currently is taken from the tail light wire (yes, I tapped the Autocom power from the same source). My idea is to run power direct from the battery, into the relay and then to the Kenwood battery eliminator. Switched power for the relay will come from the tail light wire. Ideas? Comments? No, don't suggest I go back to the Ni-cad battery, I like to do things the hard way!
