HELP WITH VHF 2-WAY RADIO
OK, so heres the deal, I have a 2 way mobile radio for thee volunteer fir department i am on. wheen i wire it up, (good power supply, good ground) and key in the accessory or off position, it works GREAT. but when i turn the key on, i get all sorts of interference until i unhook the attenna, then no interference what so ever. DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEA WHY IT WOULD BE DOING THIS? If it is any help, we just switched to narrow band radio frequency today.

Just add a ground cable to the shielding, otherwise it is useless.
The ground cable is grounded only in a single point- not on both ends-otherwise you create another loop.
Make sure all your additional connections(return and live wires!) go directly to the battery. Do not interfere somewhere in the truck harness. This causes interference in most cases to ground or live loops.
Filters are wasted money, if you know the ropes how to avoid noise.
