CB radio base station, 110v elec noise interference

TXriverrat,

i noticed there aren't any questions so far about the details of your station.

can you try to give a detailed description of what you are running, with actual model numbers, where everything is located, including your antenna, what kind of coax, how long, where it's draped across, what else is plugged in to the source for your radio power, what floor are you on, and any other details that you can provide.

only after we are armed with all that info can we determine whether or not you have a solvable issue, or a nightmare station location.

as a guess, im thinking you are running long lengths of skinny coax and your station is up on the 2nd floor of the house.

please post back with all the info you can provide.

I’ll never toss another microwave oven out without salvaging the noise filter board first. Virtually every microwave has one that looks like this or similar. I’m not saying this would solve your problem, but the one I have worked great on my hot water heater exhaust blower. Of course you would need to mount one of these boards inside a metal box or inside the appliance itself if room permits. The beauty is that these boards are well marked with input / output terminals including ground.
