0 OffRoaderX Posted July 29 Report Share Posted July 29 I am assuming it's receiving noise/static? If so, There are a few possibilities: The squelch is set too low. Try turning it up to 9 There are actually signals (static/interference/bleedover/illegal digital) coming in. Try listening with another radio to see if it comes in on both or just one radio Something in your Jeep such as LEDs, PWM, ignition, or lord knows what else, is causing noise/static interference - Good luck if this is the case Something else that i'm not thinking of that the other good members here will list below WRUU653, WRXB215, Sshannon and 2 others 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 gortex2 Posted July 29 Report Share Posted July 29 I'd start with aftermarket LED's. Does the radio do this when the vehicle is off ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Help I can’t offer better advice than Randy @OffRoaderX already did, but you mentioned that this is happening “on every channel”. Are you scanning through the channels and if so does it only happen while scanning, not when you have the radio set to a single channel?

0 WRQC527 Posted July 29 Report Share Posted July 29 Does this happen when the vehicle is stopped, or is it only when you're moving? I ask because I have a Juentai JT-6188 (KT-8900 clone) in my van that is as quiet as a mouse when I'm sitting at a red light, but as soon as I move, the intermittent noise starts. My guess in my case is that it's speed or abs sensors and the filtering in the radio is not able to block it. Also, I have an aftermarket USB outlet with an LED volt meter that creates the same problem, which I had to set up with a switch to turn it on only when I need it. LEDs are an enemy of radios.

0 WRKL760 Posted August 1 Author Report Share Posted August 1 It seems intermittent. It happens with scan on and off. I tried running the wire from a different source. Thought maybe it was wipers or something. Usually happened while in motion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 WRXH357 Posted August 1 Report Share Posted August 1 It very well maybe the the local area and your squelch setting. I had to turn mine up to 2 or 3 (1-10 range) to keep it from stopping on channels. In a different area I'm getting hung up on Channel 3. There's something in those areas cause at home Channel 3 is just fine while scanning. WRUU653 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 WRUU653 Posted August 1 Report Share Posted August 1 I am with @WRXH357 on this as a good possibility. Have you tried messing with the squelch settings. Sometimes the simplest answer is the right one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
