Guys, did anybody had interference and noise with your walkie talkie today? This is the second time when i used Channel 2, i got lots of static noise...I feel the noise is present when my engine is on when i go away from the vehicle or turn off the engine, it stops. I am using a Crony CN-888.

Your input will be appreciated. 

A little when under the pylons but otherwise not too bad. Motorola not Crony.

Some cars do that on some frequencies on some radios: @Gaurav and my car doesn’t like Channel 3. 
Sometimes interference is unavoidable due to other people on same frequency, sometimes it’s indeed the radio (CN888 unfortunately doesn’t have a squelch setting), and sometimes it’s your car engine causing the interference. 
 
Next time we drive together I’ll give you one of my spare radios for some testing.

Maybe your Pajero is trying to tell you something?

Thank you @Wrangeld, @Jeepie and @Brette for such a great fewbie drive. It was definitely a step up from newbie in every respect - great fun and good learning! 
 

Thank you @Gaurav for saving everyone. Your Pajero was kept busy and did not even get a chance to overheat - what a machine!
 

See you all again soon!

More than my Pajero, I absolutely love recovering as it gives me special satisfaction to help and also transfer bit of offroad knowledge and burn some extra calories for my Friday Gym. I did this center fwd after ages and Richard, made sure that I get good pay back after a long time gap.

Btw, my Pajero was indeed running hot after 9 AM, so switched off the AC and enjoyed little baking.

It was nice seeing you after a long time and sadly due to COVID we are now almost forgetting to see each other face.

@Anish S I'm glad that my driving was of some help and this is exactly how I personally learn driving behind seasoned offroaders to learn to perfect the line (track entry /exit) instead of fighting with gravity, cross tracks and using excessive rpm.

@Veedooshee your contribution with your common sense and attentiveness is beyond anyone's imagination, as I never expected that Rajeevan can find his number plate back in the desert, once lost. I was super impressed with your photo searching and connecting the dots skills to help him. Really well done to be so cautious while off-roading, and im sure with time you will become a very good off-roader.

Big thanks and well done to @AKR @Rajeevan Vickneswaran @Magellan for not getting stuck in such a tricky area.

Last but least, thanks and VERY well done to our new leader @Wrangeld for leading an excellent and super challenging drive at solar park and kept on playing with drive level based on convoy response. It is not an easy task for new leaders to tweak the level and find a perfect balance between enjoyment and not getting stuck or scaring people.

Sounds like the new Rolls Royce that comes with hidden codes for the owner to crack. 

Looks like mitsubishi beat them to the idea. 🤣

@Anish S Mobile could be the culprit. it causes lot of issues specially when we we are exchanging signals like whats ap messages, calls
