CB works ok on battery pack but weak reception.
Using the 12v plug gets all kinds of noise from the truck. Whine that changes with rpm, noise when windshield wipers move or power window used.

Any simple ideas to reduce noise so I don't have to use up batteries?
I'll likely just return this thing after the trip.

 

Wire it directly to the battery is what I've read to reduce engine noise interference.

 

That's ground noise. Get a better ground for your 12v source.

 

It's a handheld just plugs in.
Guess I could try to ground the plug better.

 

Yeah I have the same thing in a Midland radio. Just get a better ground on your 12v receptacle and it should clear that up. Obviously make sure your antenna is grounded well also.

Alright, getting my shit together. Never got a count on rear diff breather requests. Have enough hose for about 10 installs. First come first serve I guess, or first 10 to quote this post so I can keep track

I'll quote for number 3, but I didn't reply before, so I can go to the back of the line if need be.

According to that list I prefer the 11th spot. boobtimecontinuum for president, 2016.

 

Ya I don't think I was originally in either. I'll opt out if you already promised it to someone else.

I'm a procrastinating sum-bitch. Even when I'm hard at work getting my truck ready for wheeling.
