You might try moving the power supply further from the radio, but with that amount of hash you're getting, it will probably only reduce it instead of eliminate it. If that doesn't work, yep... get another power supply. Love my Iota's, and NO rf hash. You pay more for the supply, but less on aspirin in the long run. :tongue:

I'd suggest investing in a good power supply. Some people don't like switching power supplies for the exact reason you are hearing on your CB. Some are filtered very well. An Astron linear power supply is built like a tank, and weighs about the same as one. (Ok, that's an exaggeration). But they work really, really well. Spend the money on a reliable and trusted PS like an Iota or Astron. I have been there, and done that!
