- VIOFO A119 + GPS
VIOFO A119 type with add on GPS / Live traffic piggy-back device.
I've been using my camera for several years now with very good usage and quality of images.
I just installed a HAM radio for 2-Meters and found after a lot of trouble shooting, the dashcam is producing a massive amount of RFI noise. So much so,the radios squelch has to be turned way up making the radio almost unusable.
I think the noise in is the 12 volt to 5 volt DC converter in the camera. I contacted VIOFO support and the CHI-COMs responded blaming the 2-Meter Radio for the noise!
I have the same radio in other vehicles and FRI is not an issue. The other vehicles have other maker cameras in them.
I've tried torroids and ferrites as well wrapping the tinfoil and grounding the camera to no avail.
Have any of you noticed this issue as well and found a cure for the RFI noise? Or did you buy a different camera?
