    anyone notice that no one cares past these 2 that highjacked the thread when a couple of us only wanted to know enough to use the cb as a tool to get down the road safely I still never had my question answered from 2 days ago

    IF you disconect the antenna does the noise go away ?

    If it does then it is coming down the antenna ....next .....

    Does it change when you stop/start the truck ?

    I'm tring to understand what kind of problem it is ....

    What radio? Sometimes a better radio does help. But the antenna system means more than the radio. I find that most factory coax is junk even down to the connectors. So if you're unwilling or unable to change it your problem may never go away.

    Also if you read some of the older post you could've found your answer. This has been asked and answer many times.

    Exactly! If you go cheep you get cheep! Spend $300.00 on a good radio and see what happens. Cobras are the lowest of the low tho the cobra 200GTL is a great radio. As stated several times in the past posts I recommend a Ranger RCI Brand. I also think the higher costing Galaxied are good.Big rig series Galaxies are the best of the best in the Galaxy line.
