OOPS -- My CB Is Transmitting Over The Stereo !?! - orbitalsolutions - 02-25-2006 13:24
I have a small problem. I have installed a CB radio with two
antennas, a Wilson 5000 that I use when I'm parked, and a 'Lil
Wilson that I use when running.
When I transmit on the Big Wilson it works perfect. When I transmit
on the 'Lil Wilson whatever I transmit comes through the stereo
speakers.
I think it's finding it's way through the AM/FM antenna that is on
the roof as well. I have moved it all around but the feedback
through the stereo is the same everywhere I position it.
I'm a bit perplexed here. I don't understand why the Wilson 5000
transmits clean but the 'Lil Wilson feeds back.
Not sure what I'm doing wrong. I know this antenna is widely used
on automobiles and they all have stereo's, so I must be missing
something.
I appreciate any help you can offer, thanks.

I guess there are not many 2-way radio folks in this group.
For anyone that is interested, I blew the Little Wilson's base load
with 100 watts continuous transmit power, peaking at about 190
watts. That is why it is bleeding all over the place.
The Little Wilson is rated up to 300 watts, but don't believe it.
Oh well, back to the drawing board to find a short base load antenna
that can handle a bit of fire in da wire. Any suggestions?
