Do noise filters for CB radios work???

[clantonman1983]

Ok, I have another question...

I am driving a 2007 chevrolet colorado with my Cobra 25 ltd classic... radio works great, I'm getting some kick ### range and as far as i can tell, everybody else i talk to is saying i'm blowing smoke... so, I'm good in that department... BUT! my question is about noise filters....

I am not a trucker, so I am not on the interstate a lot. some of my driving is simply around town where I live, so I'm picking up interference in some areas. I can still transmit clearly but sometimes my recieve can get staticky... I believe the reason for that is because there are just some parts of town here where things will cause interference, because i have a couple of other friends that catch interference on their radios in the exact same spots...

I was wondering, do noise filters really work good for CB's? and if so, what would be a good brand to maybe purchase? A trucker told me yesterday on the radio that it was a waste of money but I was just going to throw this out there to see what everybody thought about it....

Ive tried several over the years and never had any real(worth the price) benefit from having them.

Static is just part of the game

The only "Noise Filters" I have ever seen for use on a CB, are designed to filter out noise coming in your radio threw the Hot Power wire that causes static...Like alternator whining noise, and stuff like that. And most of that noise can be eliminated by proper RF-grounding.

One of the best noise filters on the market is the N-700 made by David Navone. They were designed for use with High Watt car stereos, but also work well with CB's. I have one in my Suburban, and My Ford Van. But they only filter out noise coming in threw the power wires, and NOT noise that comes in threw the antenna.
