local RadioShack store for assistance.

NOISE REDUCTION

Because your transceiver is exceptionally quiet, any noise you
hear is probably from an external source in your vehicle such as
your vehicle's alternator, radio, or spark plugs.
To solve the problem, you must go to the noise's source. You
can determine the noise's source by turning off the engine and
operating the transceiver with your vehicle's ignition set to ACC.
If the noise decreases, the problem is in your vehicle's ignition
or electrical system.
Here are a few hints to help you reduce or eliminate such
noise:
• Make all transceiver power and antenna wires as short as
possible.
• Route the power wires away from the antenna wires.
