So much static can't understand

well first off buy you a good antenna i dont mean

walmrt crap 2nd that radio doesnt have a analog

switch to cut out some of the noise its prob

picking up alot of static and rf interfernce from your

truck its not the radio ive used the 19 before and the

520uniden did a great job once i got a wilson 1000

mag antenna might i suggest a mag mount 1000-5000

otherwise youll go firestik or something i think the mag

would work better for the radio step it up to a cobra 25

it has the anl switch for filter

after that unplug your coax from the radio and plug it back

if its bad you need another antenna like i said the wilson 1000

-5000 is sweet

 

Its not the radio, it is the truck.

This seems to be a common problem with some dodges and fords for that matter.

 

that was jst some checklist things to do

 

ive got a ford ranger i know

 

I have radio in a F-350 with a 7.3 and no static Galaxy 94 hp. So there goes the Ford idea

 

Not really, no truck or car is immune to the issue. It all depends on who messed with what or how it has been maintained.

My present PU is a dodge with a cummins in it and there was a static problem with it but grounding the alternator and IP fixed it.

 

a few tips:
run pwr direct to battery
get a power line filter
isolate the noise (turn off/on accessories add capacitor to noise maker)
DON'T put coax thru door jamb, or pinch spots. (ruin cable and allow noise)

Does your AM stereo have the same problem?

 

Kudos -- great tips. The best one, of course, is to eliminate the noise at its source.
Just remember that capacitors get connected *across* the power leads (parallel wiring), with the wires as short as possible, and power line filters go *inline* with the hot lead (series wiring) and inline filters usually have a chassis ground wire that should be as short as possible.

a galaxy 94 and a cobra 19 is wayyy diffrent as far as filtering you cant compare it
