Interference Over Core Loop

Hi Guys,

I've seen a couple of other threads about interference but none of the potential solutions seemed to help me.

I have my Core loop set up as indicated in the instructions and routed out a channel in my RCP track to embed it in.

My track is on the 2nd floor of a converted factory to loft space type building with a concrete floor. I have a layer of 4 mil Mylar under the core section of the track.

I get interference ranging from barely noticeably to complete looping of the car as it crosses over the loop. Also, when I initially scan a car it jumps all over the track and even drives a short distance by itself.

Cars tried:

Ford GT (2 - 1 completely stock and one with 3Racing motor mount and suspension damper)
Ferrari Enzo
Nissan 350Z
Toyota Overland

I tried a longer car antenna.

I tried isolating the antenna from any carbon in the damper plate as well as move the antenna completely off the damper. Carbon had cause problems on my RC planes but isolating it should stop any related issues although I do think that the interference is more noticeable on cars with mods to the suspension as opposed to bone stock.

I tried reorienting the transponder in the car and did get a bit of reduction on the Enzo but not on the Ford GT.

I tried turning off my Wi-Fi on the computer.

I tried turning off the Mercury Vapor lights to no avail.

It doesn't seem to affect my Overland as much. ??Proximity of the transponder to the car electronics??

Anyone tried 2.4GHz receivers yet?

So, I am just looking for some suggestions to try so I can enjoy my lap timer more!

Thanks,

Greg
