RE: [DML] Feedback through CB when engine is running?

["John Hervey" <john@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Patrick, That may be a problem because of the low frequency of the CB and
the Low frequency of the ignition system. The best place you could put the
antenna would be in the top middle of the car, but you may not get rid of
the ignition noise because of the open wiring of our ignition system.

Subject: [DML] Feedback through CB when engine is running?


Hey all,
     I just installed a CB radio tonight in the D, and it seems to work fine
until I have the engine running, then I get all kinds of feedback, and when
I
rev it, I can hear it through the CB.   I tried switching the ground for the
CB antenna from the bolt back near the left rear quarter panel, to the
parking
brake ground, to the ground back in the electrical compartment behind the
driver seat and I still have the same problem.   I have the ground for the
CB
radio itself to the parking brake ground bolt.   I am getting power from the
fuse
for the rear defrost and power mirrors, and I switched that to the battery
directly and I still get the same problem when the engine is running.   Any
ideas
here?   Would something called a "ground loop isolator" be useful in this
application?
