I put some ferrite clamps on the radio but it didn't seem to help at all. I don't know if I should just use one or a few. I put one on the coax, one on the power wire before the battery and one on both the ground and power wire before the radio itself. It didn't seem to make any difference.

I did purchase a kit of the ferrite clamps on Amazon, has a few sizes in it. I will certainly give it a shot.

I hooked up my new GMRS radio in my 2020 Sierra a few weeks ago. For the first week it was good, clear audio and communication. A few days ago I hopped on a local repeater net and it was nothing but static during receive (and transmission I found out.) I decided maybe it was my location at home, so I went to drive around. The static got worse, almost like a whirling static that matched the vehicle's speed. Only seemed to clear up when I was stopped or parked. I have the radio wired to the positive on the battery and a ground post on the frame. The antenna is the stock 1/4 wave antenna with mag mount that came with the radio. Any suggestions on clearing this up? I purchased ferrite clips on Amazon to see if that will help. I was wondering if I should maybe hook up the negative to the battery as well or maybe moving the antenna. It seems like it happened after it rained recently... Thank you in advance!
