ok, earths are now shotened, i ran an earth lead from the cb mounts, this helped a lot, ive also taken the mic apart, there was one connection with no solder, so sorted that, and on the plug end, one of the cables had no plastic shielding and had obv been touching the metal plug, so ive...

its rx, had thought about changing to a hatch mount. il try looking at the mic, and shorten my earths

gd posts by both, thanks for the input, im gonna be doing a lot of work to the car soon, so il try both suggestion, keeping the earth short makes sense, same as the amps i have in the boot, and the new earths wont hurt in the engine by at all, its 13 years old after all. cheers guys

cb is mounted on side of centre console, screwed into the plastic, the power is direct from the battery, throught the bulk head of the car, i have a magmount 1.5 m whip aerial, i have the ignition noise suppressor inline on the power lead, and the car is a vauxhall vectra, if you know what that...

hi all, have had a lot of rf interference from my mobile cb, ive tried ferrite blocks, capacitors, and wrapping 20' of cable round a shackle with a capacitor, all to no avail. now tonight ive noticed while im getting the interference noise, if i touch the cable or the outer casing of the mic, it...

excellent post, many thanks, il have a browse at work to see if i can make one here.

been told to try a hot line filter, looks like a transformer and capacitor to me, heard of this???

lol, i like your style, i have the cap, 2 toroids, one is wound round 3 times for the cb, the cd player now has the cap, plus a torroid, wound round also, hadnt thought of the speaker wire though, i think my boot setup could be an issue , process of elimination, i have 2 amps and 3 subs, that...

ok, i have a 0.1uf disc cap on the cd player, no difference at all, not sure what else to do may have to try this, these any good CB Accessories - Interference Filters - : Noise Filter NF20

hi all, quick question, have a lot of interference from my cd player and HID headlights, as posted before. why does it have to be a ceramic disc cap rated at 0.1uf , and what power rating should i use for the HID's, do i put on the power leads going to the ballast box so 12v, or from the...

got ya, now i understand, many thanks LC

im running it from the battery direct, i have a ferrite block on the power leads. havent twisted it round it though, i know that helps, or could i put a dic cap on the power leads to help sort the interference

il give this a try also, thanks, didnt realise the cb would be so sensitive could you also explain exactly how to instal these caps, just the power lead???? or from live to earth??? and what voltage?

thanks for the input, il give it a try just on the positive lead??? or power to earth lead. how exactly do i install??

is there any way to filter out the interference i get from my HID headlights on my cb, all other lights are fine, but when i put the HID on, crackle crackle , and nothing else can be heard, what can i use to filter it out???

thanks for the input guys, was wondering bout the ground plane thing, i'll remove it. swr meter was set as u described, well is now, a mate gave me the meter and put it on for me, so i tried it the other way round, adjusted fwd to the set or cal point, switched to ref, and bingo, 1.1, max im...

cb is wired direct to battery, and the noise happens even if i unplug the antenna

my in dash cd player when switched on creates interference on my cb, whats the easiest way to cut out the interference, apart from turn off the cd player. ive got ferrite beads on the cb power leads to cut down some interference from the car.

hi everyone, newbie here, ok, its a bit of a broad question, so please ask whatever u like. i have a cb in my car, with a 1.5 metre whip antenna, ive made a radial ground plane to help the signal out, my swr readings are a bit high, ive adjusted my way, so it reads about 1.1 on fwd, and 1.5...
