Ground loop noise after installing schottky diodes in cobra 29 ltd chrome

[805 california]

So after installing schottky diodes in a cobra 29 ltd chrome, I get a loud buzzing noise from receiver and the meter shows a couple S points with the nb/anl on. With nb/anl off it sounds normal. I only get the noise with the chromes. I have installed in cobra 29 ltd classic, 25 ltd classic and lx with no problems. This loud buzzing noise has occurred on three different brand new chromes. Anybody else have this issue?

Unplug the coax from the radio and then see if the noise is still there . . .

If that doesn't work try disconnecting the power cord. If the noise stops it was coming in through the power cord.

Perhaps it should be phrased another way.
(Although the weiner in a light socket was funny as hell)

Try using a battery instead of the power source to eliminate ANY electrical noise that a plug in the wall power source may make.

I ment it exactly as the post read. No battery required.

Make sure your iron doesn't have voltage on to the tip. A cheap iron will wreck a radio really quick!

He seems to have disappeared. I thought he was joking about putting his bird in the light socket.

805, is that real grass in your avatar or astro turf? It looks like the dog might be photo-shopped. If it is real can you give us some tips on lawn care? Very nice lawn.

That's a 20 grand fake lawn... it's worth more then your life.

So, you suck at lawn care too?

I have a aunt that put in fake grass in Cali a few years ago. she said with water in short supply she could not water the grass or get fined by the city and if the grass turned brown was fined by her HMO. she said fake was the best way to go. now no mowing, just a little trim at the flower beds she has.

Another of the many reasons I will never live in or vacation again in California.

Today Gov. Moonbeam officially said we're no longer in a drought

Yeah California is pretty lame. Trying to take me guns...

I had fake grass once. Bought it in Tijuana. $20 down the drain. Live and learn.
