Title: Picks up tons of engine noise
Review: I replaced my compact Midland CB with the Uniden PRO538W because I wanted a front-firing speaker. But all I can get from this CB is engine noise. In fact, the electrical interference is so bad, I have to turn my squelch all the way to the right to block it out, rendering my CB completely useless. The noise is electrical interference coming through the air -- not just from my own engine, but from every car that I pass on the road.I installed a high-quality antenna cable and an RFI filter, but that didn't help at all. So the cause of the problem is either my antenna, or the radio itself. I didn't notice the problem with my Midland CB, so the PRO538W seems to have lousy internal shielding. Other people have also mentioned in their reviews that the radio picks up a lot of engine noise, so please consider your purchase of this CB very carefully.
