How To Stop CB Radio Speaker Interference Coming Through


If you key your microphone and you can hear yourself, as well as relevant static coming through electrical devices that contain speakers, such as with your computer or television, that is known as speaker interference. There are many different reasons to why this would happen in your particular situation because it does depend on several environmental factors during CB radio operation.

1) The device with speakers is too close next to your CB radio. If the items are close together, the radio will leak out RF signals and will be transferred down the cables. Try positioning the rig and the speakers far apart from each other, you should see a noticeable difference straightway.

2) Using higher quality cable with better shielding coating. The more expensive coax cable is generally, the more thicker the outer silver shielding will be. This will allow the signals to be kept inside the cable and send out the antenna and not leak into the surrounding atmosphere.

3) Running too much power. If you an running an external linear amplifier to make your CB radio more powerful, in correct positing of the antenna can cause RF leakage. Try to back down the power a little to see whether or not the speaker interference gets reduced.
