Short summary.
Vehicle was 2.5 months old

Well, I'll let you take another shot of that tequila while you review your frequency spectrum chart.
I'm working on a chip design that takes in microwave and converts it to RF, with frequency hopping. 😊
Within 3 weeks of purchasing my vehicle, I received 7 snail mail notifications indicating...
Embedded windshield antenna.
It's a lovely 2024 feature on Gladiator.
I also wonder if there is any spec limit on the EMF energy directed in the cab at the occupants? (Note: tiny decorative ground shield, appears minimal).
The embedded windshield antenna.
Where are the others?
Perhaps, you haven't tried disconnecting your vehicle GPS antenna?
Try it. See how many miles you travel before vehicle malfunctions.
🤣
You may need a better antenna,
But big bro doesn't.

I disconnected my antenna upon purchase. At 3003 miles, while driving on highway, vehicle lost power and quite an assortment of dash lights appeared.
I checked the codes with my Tazer. The issues identified did not compute, given that it had been running normal ( and getting approximately...
