Ok... I hooked up my cb radio. I got power from my amp because it runs directly to the battery. Then i installed a noise filter between that and the cb with an extra fuse on top of the one thats already in line on the cb wire harness. Im still getting noise when i drive. So how do i get rid of the noise thats is probably going through the antenna into my cb? THe wierd thing is that i can start my engine and rev it and it doesnt pick up. but when my truck is in motion it a fluttering sound to the enigne speed. So will an antenna filter work for my problem? Where do i get one? Also my antenna is a perm mount to the bedright behind the left side of the cab. are filters pretty common to use or am i doing something really wrong with my wiring? my ground is the floor of my cab. I have searched and people talked about the antenna noise test which is how i firgured it out. nobody really answered any of the old threads on how to fix the antenna problem so i figured ide ask since im sure somebody has been through my problem. thanks!!

I know someone has a solution out there, I really want to fix this. Would running a wire from the bed to the frame help since the bed sits on blocks and the bolts holding it on aren that great of a ground??? where is a good place for a ground strap on a 22r head? I want to have one more but can really find where to "tap" onto, also should i got from the head to the body or frame?

I would run a direct hot wire to the positive on the battery and another to the negative. The reason is to isolate the power feeds and to reduce the amount of induction from other devices. Please consider using both clamps and soldier to secure the wires. 16-18 gauge wire will work great

also make sure you have good grounds and you have a good coax that has a shiled of 97% or better and the ends are snug
