Radio transmits but barely recieves

Put our radios together, Mine receives well, but don't transmit very good!

 

Probably the inverter itself.

These cheap inverters simulate a sine wave by throwing together a bunch of square waves. Square waves are easy to make from DC; unfortunately, they contain a whole bunch of harmonics (multiples of their frequency) in them. My bet is that your inverter has a plastic case, and no metal shielding inside.

The ground stud might help, if you ground to the frame with a short piece of braided ground strap.

I suspect that you're simply going to have to choose between the inverter and the CB at any given time.

 

MsJamie and VinTech are dead on this one.

I had the same problem with my large inverter.

One of these will solve the problem but get expensive.

What do you run off the inverter? Can it be left off while moving or do you have a fridge hooked up?
When i turn mine on i get at least 9db on the s meter on my galaxy...it drowns out people talking.

 

Good luck.
I messed with different grounds and shorter power cables,fused both sides and everything on my Power Bright inverter.
I never had any luck getting it from messing with the CB and television.
It stills throws the meter on the CB to about 9 to 10 with white noise.

I knew i should have spent the extra cash on a good one but live a learn.
I like the one with the digital readout of watts and voltage that i have now but it does have interference with electronics.
