After bout 43 years since my last CB Radio, I just set one up. 43 years ago I had a 5/8ths wave antenna on my second floor chimney. I am building a 1/2 wave diploe but am using a Workman b100 indoors (not enough range for me).
I did set up some computer speakers which I feel really improves the sound. However, every time I key up I get loud noise. This happens even when speakers are unplugged so, I think it is rf interfering with speaker wire.

Is there a way to insulate the wires or, do I need a CB speaker ?

Thanks in advance
