Radio has constant crackle and squeele?

Also wonder if Freightliner honchos have majority stock in after market companies such as barjan since their poor quality factory set ups are making a fortune for the aftermarket companies.

 

It sounds like a few things, among them is one is a loose coax connection - internal one that is - another is the coax is bad. Another that comes to mind is problems with the mount and water, but that's something that can be checked.

But instead of guessing, I would try this, just borrow a radio to rule out the radios. One that you know that works and hook it up to either truck. If it is clear, no problems, then it is the radio.

Hope this helps.

 

like I'm telling you your cb and stereo are tied into each other.it's the same setup on both the 2015/2016 trucks...it's a bull #### design..........it's bad bad ju ju

 

your cb will be jacked up all the time with that setup...but you can listen to Def leopard on the radio all day long.....go figure

 

oh and it goes without saying get the best noise cancelling Mic you can find for both of those radios. not a astatic they look good but will not help your problem. ranger sra 198 will help a lot it's a lot better Mic than most people realize . eat the Mic when you talk into it. adjust your Mic gain to where it's needed to get rid of that squealing and feedback......
