Noise
I have a lot of noise on my Base station CB radio. I have tried everything to find the source and the power company has been very cooperative by changing a bunch of faulty insulators and such but this hasn't helped a whole lot. I was checking out the 'QRM eliminators" on Ebay and Amazon. They are priced around $ 50 to $60. I was just wondering if anyone has had experience with these and if they work. Any help greatly appreciated

Re: Noise
I would try to find where the noise is coming from first before spending money as it could be a PSU for something in the house

Re: Noise
First course of action should be to check the noise isn't emanating from a piece of equipment in your own house, Turn the mains supply off and power the radio from a battery. We have a lot of things that can cause noise these days, TV's, Lighting, Power Supplies etc etc ,,
As for QRM Eliminators i was never convinced by them, They might reduce the noise but reduce your receive level at the same time

Re: Noise
I had 30+ noise not long ago. Turns out it was my neighbours new car battery charger. It can come from anywhere.
