  If your Micom Transceiver antenna picks up engine noise: * Determine if the noise is engine-related by observing the difference in reception when turning the engine ON and OFF. * Ensure ground leads are properly connected, and all power wires and ground leads are as short as possible. * Make sure the noise blanker (if installed) is enabled. * Consider installing noise reduction Kit TLN8845.
