    So santa delivered me a new k dub today. Hooked up to factory antennas and factory wiring. Got a lot of electronic background noise. Any suggestions?
    Thanks as always!

    I'm not an expert in ground loops but I do know someone who is over in Las Cruces New Mexico at the same exit as the TA truck stop

    That stuff gets tricky. Sometimes it's nice to just pay someone to go through the whole thing and let them work out the bugs. I hate dealing with stuff like that.

    So it's bleeding out when the stereo is on. #### multi plexer. Should I just get a 12 v plug in and plug it in?

    The mic cause the bleeding. I have to now figure out why I have to turn the RF gain down more than 1/4 to keep the noise out.
