[BC] XM Radio Interference

[Paul Smith W4KNX]

That's a great old DF trick.  Used to locate airplane ELT's that way.  Could
use a scanner, take off the antenna and walk to the offending plane on a
ramp.  Found a lot of em in boats that way too...

That's exactly how Barry M. and I found the frequency of a translator that
had
been installed at the 97.1 TX site in Tucson. I took off the car's antenna
and
set the radio to scan. It stopped twice, once at 97.1 and the second time at
100.1, the translator's frequency.

The quick-and-dirty solution is to remove the car antenna.   When I
installed a Roady2 in my wife's car, up here in the frequency-congested
northeast, the only way to avoid interference was to remove the antenna.
 You'd have to be literally on top of the transmitter for interference
to occur with the antenna missing.
