Why installing a two way radio/cb in a truck cause any of these issues...?

sorry for the large size by the way

 

Electrical radio interference..

 

Seat belt pretensioner?
Airbags?

Those can be set off or disrupted by a CB radio in a vehicle??

 

Ah Bullshit, to some degree.

It is not the frequency of transmission that interferes in most cases, but harmonics of those waves and even more impacting is the internal oscillators on the receiver/transmitter.

Remember this to, this is an old practice based on non shielded high power devices as in the old days...old technology, old practices and warnings issued by the FCC and manufacturers.

Today, chances are reduced by low power processors etc...no tubes, discrete technology..

But the caveat is there is always a chance for rogue manufactured devices and misbehaving devices if you will that could interfere with another device.

So these warnings stand fast.

 

It's all electrical based. So as the poster below me said, there is a chance it is less likely given today's tech, but there is still chance.

 

@thors.hammer Not likely needed, most radios today are FCC approved and tested for possible interference. Most internal Oscillators and RF components are already internally shielded, Like I said these are warnings that will never go away due to faulty devices, rogue devices etc...

 

Just hook up your radio to the battery direct connection. Fused of course. Oh and proper grounding for your antenna.
