Hi all,

I have a Uniden UH090 CB radio in my Patrol. This model covers both the old AM band (27 Meg) and the FM band (UHF).

I always thought the AM side of it wasn't working so just used it on UHF.
Today I got an opportunity to test it with someone who only had an old AM radio. We were parked at the time. I was surprised when it seemed to work perfectly.

The problem is that as soon as I started the engine to move off back came the constant "scream" of static from the radio. Not bearable and you wouldn't have heard any behind it.

Does anyone have any clues as to what might be causing the problem? Hopefully there is a simple fix such as a suppressor required or something. I may as well have it usable if it is not a major problem.

I do have the 2 separate antenna required by the way.

Thanks for your help

Trevor
