    I can't explain exactly why, but when I have a bunch of alternator noise running it through a cig lighter plug or from the fuse box, when I move it straight to the battery it has always fixed the problem.

    the alternator is tied to the rest of the harness and involves feedback. once you separate it then the feedback is no longer an issue and thus no more interferance

    Ok, so today i moved the antenna, wired the cb to the battery, put another isolator on the antenna and took off the frame ground. I took it out to 6 and talked to a couple of truckers and it went 1-2 miles. They all said i was coming in loud and clear I could hear them loud and clear too.






    (this was bare metal so i had to prevent more rust)


    When i key the mike this is what I get. Before tonight when i keyed it i got maybe 2.5 and now i get 4.5. Also the radio wasn't getting enough power so it would work for a minute and then not send a signal (thats what happened this morning, flem)
