RFI
Well, I'm not an amateur, but I used to have a First Class FCC Radiotelephone commercial license in the era when those were required to operate TV stations, radio stations, etc.
And while I don't know the answer in detail, my gut feeling (FWIW) is that I wouldn't put 100 watts (RMS?) of output anywhere near the sensitive electronics out Tregs have.
I can't prove it but I would bet that any CAN bus-equipped car would be much more senstive to RFI and possibly ground-induced power perturbations, compared to, say, a 70's Oldsmobile with carbs and an AM radio.
And maybe the newer gear is better shlelded, but I for one would never show up at the dealer sporting a 102" whip and lots of ham gear under the dash while complaining about wierd electrical problems. Dontcha think they'd notice?
