Has anyone ever experienced interference between their stereo and their Ham or CB radio? When I play a CD in my factory head unit, I get interference in my Ham radio, when operating in the 2M band.

As some will notice, I have had a lot of interference issues lately. I may be doing a complete re-wire job sometime soon.

Well, my CD player seems to have some issues, so I suspect it’s related. Will see if this goes away when I fix the CD player.
 
I think I solved it. Had run my subwoofer RCA cables alongside the power supply for my Ham rig.

That'll do it. Keep power + signal cables as far away from each other as possible. if they must cross one another, try to do so at a 90 degree angle.
