    More nonsense from one that lives in the 50's
    I got a "PayPal CNote says you cant find 5 top techs to support "you"
    Verse's the "MANY" that have discovered and posted such findings many times on radio forums.

    Saying mechanically generated RF cant pass thru a glass hood truck
    and be picked up by a parallel mounted antenna :biggrin_2559:,
    who's the tech? :biggrin_2559::biggrin_25513::biggrin_2559: :biggrin_2559:

    Grab a six pack of Ensure* and try for that C-Note!
    When you run across those that ground strap mufflers,call bs on them and you'll get squared in your seat,real proper like.:biggrin_25522:

    Plenty of 21St Century Radio Tech out there,if you look.

    Some people have improvements with putting clamp-on ferrite cores, sometimes called "EMI supressors", on the power cable. It's best to wind the + and - CB power wires side by side through it together like a lamp cord, a few times (therefore get a core with a large hole). Then snap it shut. Every pass through the core knocks noise down that much more (up to a point).

    What it does is help keep some of the noises from entering or exiting the radio through the power cable. It's a cheap thing to try. Should be located as close to the radio as practical.

    Here's one that cost less than $2 and has a 1/2" hole. Cheap to order online, but if bought at a shop or truck stop maybe $5-7.

    They can also be put on the coaxial cable. It's impossible to say what the results may be as every setup has different issues.

    At the bottom of this page are links to manufacturers of ferrites (Fair-Rite and Murata) with some articles from their engineers that explain how they work.

    Set up your radio and antennae directly off the battery. Run a lead and ground to your radio directly from the battery, run a ground from the base of the antenna to the negative post of the battery and you'll be completely independent of the tractor's electrical system. This will cure the background noise. And, keep it turned off, it's only a distraction. Really.

    #1,Total Against everything electronic,Ac/DC,long ground feed runs have never been "optimal".
    #2,Absolutely worthless over kill that has no validation outside of assumption,16' ground lead? :biggrin_2559:
    #3 Again assumption at play here but?,"independent of the tractors electrical system?
    When you are directly connected to an isolated(tractor) source there is no"Independence".Ever here of loops? clearly not . . . . .
    From a curiosity stand point what hole did you pull this logic from ?

    Your words,no mine ~> Really:biggrin_2556:

    Looked good on paper . . . . I understand . . . .

    AGAIN ......

    Wheel bering noise and road noise could be a problem but i don't see how placement of a VERTICAL antenna is going to solve it :biggrin_25513:

    What are you talking about? What I say is fact, and You have yet to prove anything! You don't make any sense with anything that you say. You know nothing about the TECH side of radio. And it really makes you look very bad in eveyones eyes. It's so sad but every post that you make proves the same. And whats so funny is EVERYONE has tried to tell you this. But you just don't get it. Now you tell me How putting a Francis on the left mirror is not going to pick up road noise? When you say it will on the right right mirror. If you think before you speak. Then you would not give all of your bogus info. And YES I DO AGREE WITH YOU THAT YOUR "NONSENSE IS IN FACT NONSENSE". THANK YOU FOR TELLING THE TRUTH! This time! It's must really hurt to be a WANNABE! :biggrin_25513:

    BS!! your directly avoiding the questions put before you
    How many Ensures* did it take to get this paragraph.
    of yours hammered out ?

    Not a Tech
    Never said I was a Tech
    Never had an inclination to be a Tech
    What you,(which just happens NOT TO BE EVERYBODY) knows of me is what I allow "your" mind to believe.Read that again if it doesn't take the first 3 times you read it.
    WTFAY that I prove a GD thing to fella :biggrin_25510:
    Stomping your keyboard kungfu-panda paws at me like I'm some kinda
    b!tch ??? twist my text you read into what wasn't actually said,but is now said by you,to suit you. Which easily proves your hand is down the front
    of your Depends*:biggrin_25515: You clamor for social status and position,I could give a flying flip,I'm legal where I need to be legal and I play where I wanna play.
    Now that Ive trimmed you from my scrotal region,

    Francis glass sticks over 4' are well known for dragging in road noise RF.
    Its been 20 years since I run Francis glass due to the improvements in mobile antenna buy using superior materials like stainless and aluminum.
    Many strayed way from co-phase and like the majority today only run a single stick.

    Some fairly smart "NON TECH Hobbyist" discovered a few things about
    RF on rubber tire vehicles,the 18 Wheel people got wind of it and applied
    the same "tricks" but on a larger scale.
    What was once thought of as rubber to asphalt,soon turned into a combination of things causing RF issues.trial an error prevailed.
    Sadly it wasn't front page in the Ham Monthly Menstrual but
    we indeed figured it out,it works so its true in our non tech world.

    What I can do is quality installs of big wattage illegal Big Truckin Radios
    Also pretty nifty at solving issues in all make/types of Class 8 Equipment
    Several big watt installs in D6 Cats, 420 Cat Track hoes.Maintainers etc,etc. Ive done over 300 US Forrest Service Units that work the massive brush fires in Texas every year,again no pay. But it does have its perks:

    What I dont do is charge people for my labor,its something I like
    and when you have plenty of references you get plenty of work.
    Again there are perks:
    Learning from NON-Techs is like having a nice cold beer while taking the code test :yes2557:,someone said you cant and you believe it :biggrin_25514:

    So tech widget,Prove to me these things are false and can not viable sources of and either be drastically reduced or eliminated concerning
    RF "SOURCES"

    Test mule is a Class 8 Road Tractor GVW 80K(pick your flavor)

    Right side front axle:
    Conductive metal wheel/Rubber to Asphalt
    Liquid lubed Bearing/Race assembly
    High Amperage Alternator
    High Static charged fiberglass hood(this will likely need explaining,the mystical properties of wind and friction,hmmmm)
    ANY TYPE Antenna,regardless of material construction/configuration

    Left side front axle:
    Conductive metal wheel/Rubber to Asphalt
    Liquid lubed Bearing/Race assembly
    High Static charged fiberglass hood(this will likely need explaining,the mystical properties of wind and friction,hmmmm)
    Just for you,your self imposed fiberglass antenna mounted on the LEFT!
