    Is it possible that im getting noise threw my antenna and not threw the power. I have a filter on the power rite at the radio, Somthing weired happen on the way home I was getting wipper noise but didn't have my wippers on. So i was thinking my antenna was picking up noise from someone next to me. Am i crazy?

    I drove a 2 units that did that. It was something wrong with the alternators. They still charged but still made noise in my CB. But when the truck was off noise was gone.

    there are what they call band pass filters that you can put in antenna lines, but allow certain frequencies to go thru, while blocking others, but if the noise is being generated at the frequency you want to listen to, won't help.

    You may want to try a new coax to eliminate that you don't have some bad shielding somewere on the line. And you could try disconnecting the antenna at the radio to see if you hear it then, but just don't transmit!
