  • Best thing to do is to get the power straight from your battery, it's gotta have something to do with the power leads to your radio.

  • It's not RFI, it's the fact that your car uses a positive ground while your radio is a negative ground. You need to run straight to the battery or to a marked, unused accessory power point capable of supplying at least 5A.

  • LOL! So funny! :)

  • Lol

  • That's some nigger riged shit right there

  • @panosalitis really no, but that half right, positive from battery, negative on it's own ground point to body, not along with another ground for something else, this prevents ground loops and other devices searching for a ground through your radio, I also solved almost 95% of my ignition and injector, and AC fan motor noise by moving the radios ground to the body, but if it is on a positive ground vehicle don't ask me, strait to the battery may be the only choice you have.

  • @F41Driver yep it has to be positive ground vehicle, whats going on is a ground loop from his cb antenna, because it is only happening when he keys up. Just put in a switch to deactivate the antenna motor while using the cb if it bothers you, but them again you may want to anyway, it may not be good for the radio, the loop is bridging battery-radio-coax sheild-antenna mount-body-fm antenna motor grounded lead-motor-battery, see the problem? So it is basically a RFI problem, just RF current

  • LOL when you key you change to a Deep CB voice.... hahaha that's funny.

  • @pwhite7608 10 meters refers to the 10 meter ham radio band (28.000-29.700 MHz)and 11 meters is another term for CB.

  • lol XD
