Here are a few hints to help you reduce
or eliminate such noise:
• Make all CB power and antenna
wires as short as possible.
• Keep the power wires away from the
antenna wires.
• Be sure the chassis ground connec-
tion is secure.
• Replace old ignition wires with new,
high-voltage,
wires.
• Install noise suppressors on your
spark plugs, or install new spark
plugs that have built-in noise sup-
pressors.
• If problems persist, check your alter-
nator/generator
gauges. You can reduce the noise
from these sources by using bypass
capacitors at the various output volt-
age points.
Your local RadioShack store has a wide
selection of noise-suppression accesso-
ries.
