FT-3000M in TX car's flasher gone crazy

[fjpompeo]

Hello,

I have an Yaesu FT-3000M installed on my FIAT PALIO 2010 . The problem is that when I turn on car's flasher with the radio in TX the flasher flashes very fast, simply back to RX for flasher back up and running normally. I have checked the cable , connectors and antenna are all OK. Also connected radio's power cable direct to the battery according to the instructions in the user manual. Can anyone give me a hint on how to solve this issue?

Regards,

It sounds like the flasher is picking up the RF. This could be down the leads to it or directly via its case. Its not an easy job but I think you need to decouple each wire via a 10nF disc capacitor to the car chassis, by very short leads. If this fails loading the lead in question with a ferrite bead will help, but you really need some sort of bead the can be snapped over the existing wires, else its a load of work which might not work anyway.

Where did you get your power and ground? Where are you wires run through the car?
