Had been having an issue where if my phone is plugged in to the car and I transmit on 2&70 mobile then carplay disconnects and the board that manages power for the mobile radio also resets. Had been bugging me for a while but then I realised the USB cable for my phone was 2m long, sure enough switching to a different length fixes it

@vk3xe@mastodon.hams.social USB cables have been the culprit so many times in my Ham life, and everyone seems to share the same stories. Now, I put toroid chokes on ALL USB cord used around radios. Man, do all the standard USB cable lengths love our 2m bands!
