Ignition interference in CB

Wow wow wow... GREAT info. Can't thank you enough.

33s were (at least in the era of my late stepdad "The Green Bean" and on the East coast) "good things to you" or the equivalent, despite what the official meaning was. "...and 33s to you, too."

Specifically, I have a small Radio Shack unit sitting in the under-armrest console with a magnetic antenna on the body just ahead of the trunk lid. Needless to say, not a permanent install and not ideal. But if I can quiet it down a bit (it's the harsher, popping buzz, not a whine) by grounding something or installing a cheap doohickey, I'm all for it.

It's in a '79 Chrysler 300. Doing a road trip over the Holidays.

My wires say "7mm with conductive silicone core and silicone jacket"... and they're recent, that's all I know on that.

And yes, the CB banter is complete crap but nobody tells you where the speed traps are or what lane to be in coming up on construction or an accident any farther in advance than the truckers. I don't do road trips without my ears on...
