There was a common problem with Yeasu's FT-857D ham radios, in which - for no apparent reason, static would chop through in almost every mode and any band. I believe this wasn't apparent in the AM band and possible less of an issue in the HF bands. But otherwise it seemed to happen everywhere
The issue was often an S9+ burst of static, which would not be steady, but would happen randomly, usually getting progressively worse as the radio warms up. It didn't matter if an antenna was connected or not, or what type of power supply was used.

It is undeniable that the creation of the GP (General Purpose) 7 changed railroading drastically. The GP7 units were designed by Dick Dilworth of EMD. His goal was to make a road switcher which would work well “out where the real work was being done.” The design was based on observations from Alco and Baldwin Locomotives, as well as considerations of the needs of a freight train crew.
