Clip-on interfering with my radio

mark1968 · Posted: Mon Nov 08, 2004 9:17 am Post subject: Clip-on interfering with my radio

I have noticed that my clipon seams to be interfering with my radio reception.

When the unit is switched off I can receive a reasonable signal for Radio 2, if it is switched on I cannot get a signal.

Has anyone else noticed this, if so have they found a solution?

Hi Mark,

I often run two iPAQs and two Fortuna Clip-Ons. They are all positioned around/over where the radio is. I’ve never had a problem listening to Radio 2, or a tape, or a CD whilst any of my gadgets have been running.

Do you have any interference problems listening to other radio stations?

How close is the Clip-On to your radio? What happens if you move the Clip-On to another part of your vehicle (nearer or further away)? Can you leave it on the rear parcel shelf?

Regards,

I have tried the unit as far away from the radio as possible. This is the only item in the car that could be causing the problem.

If I switch the receiver off I do get a reception for Radio 2, when it is switched on I do not!

Hi Mark,

Can you try the Clip-On in another vehicle?

The only other suggestions are:

Borrow (if you can) another Clip-On and try it in your car.

Seek the advice of a qualified car electrician or ICE installer.

Buy another Clip-On or different BT GPS Receiver.

Sorry, I’m afraid that I can’t think of any other suggestions for you. Confused

Regards,

Thank you Robert for your help.

I have spoken to Global Positioning Systems who have agreed to swap my clip-on v1 with a new V2 device to see if this helps.

I will let you know if it does.

I have received my replacement Clip-on from Global Positioning Systems.

Unfortunately I am still having problems listening to Radio 2 with the unit switched on. Looks like I am going to have to cut my losses and sell this one on ebay and get something else:!:
