    Hello.
    I can receive just fine. But when I key the mic, I get static coming through the stereo? It wasn't doing this yesterday. Any clues?

    We need some more information, like make and model of vehicle, m/m of radio, m/m of kicker (if any), and what kind of coax, mount, and antenna.

    Are you using a cheap audio aux in cable? These are often not shielded, or at least not properly shielded.

    No. I don't use AUX cables. Just Bluetooth. I do have a Wilson external speaker, I don't know if that matters.

    Its because your cb and stereo are tied into each other. I'm in another crapcadia now. My radio/cb will pop the fuse up there every time. It'll knock out the 6×9s but I don't care. It ends the problems.
