    if your swr is not right it won't work good.so bad antenna will be bad performance.have someone check that then take it from there.

    I have a lil wil and dont seem to have that problem. i just turn the squelch up till i dont hear any background noise. I would take it to a cb shop and see if theyed chech the swr for free. If its bad then ask them if they would tune it.

    If it needs to be tuned just stick with the lil wil cuz even if you get the 1000 magnet you will still have to have them tune it.(yes the 1000 or 5000 will perform better)
