Review: 2007 Toyota Prius

Review: 2007 Toyota Prius: "Although I have a HF ham radio on the car, I can't operate most HF ham bands while the car is moving. The electrical propulsion system generates too much RFI for me to hear other stations. I've not started to work on RFI suppression yet, and the one person who has reported some success in RFI-suppressing the Prius claims to have put more than 200 hours of work into the project. Prius uses bundle shielding and thus any wire in the bundles with the power wires will radiate. VHF and UHF work fine, and I'm content to use HF while parked for now."
