Frank, did you come directly off the hot post of the battery to power the CB?
That should help, also have you adjusted the "squelch" knob. Hissing static
is normal for CB's. Turn it on, slowly turn the squelch until the hissing
stops. Don't turn any further or you will squelch out all incoming signals.
The amount of squelch necessary varies by time of day and number of other
radioers jaw jacking in the area.
If you are planning to just keep in touch with another car, pick a little
used channel, not 19 (truckers channel), or 9 (emergency) or 11 (hailing
frequency Mr. Sulu), set the squelch on both radios so you can only hear each
other.
Hope this helps.
