Help! Can anyone tell me how to lower my noise level. I have a Cobra 25LTD Classic. I've tried changing to antannae from a wilson 2000 to a 102 steel whip. I had a angle iron bracket welded to my frame behind the cab of my truck. and changed my coax and I still have a terrible noise level. I know its not from the motor be cause its the same with the motor off. Thanks in advance for any help you great people can provide.

Have you tried to drive away from your home at least 5 miles and turn off the engine? I'll bet it is Power Line noise from High Voltage lines somewhere. If you unplug the antenna and the noise goes away , the radio is most likely OK and you have Power Line noise. Bad power tranformer or drop down somewhere in you'r area

Well I guess I didn't specify. Sorry. This is in my 18-wheeler and I get this kind of noise level everywhere. At night it improves a little but not much. Thanks for the advice though.

I am having the same problem and I noticed that when I unplugged the antenna ( to try another one ) the noise stopped until I plugged in the other antenna.
