I need to go to Fry's tomorrow and see if I can pick up ferrite rings and redo my power. I do have i connected directly to the battery.

I do notice that if I actually hold onto the top of the antenna with my hand that all interference goes away ... wonder what that means? It is a Firestick II.

Thanks ... Dan

Finding RFI can drive you nuts. So if you can't find it don't forget... http://www.amidon.com/ That is their biz......toroids, ferrites, and noise fighting kits.

Sorry, I got lost in the last couple of posts.
If this question was for me, I v got both wires running straight off the battery.
Im also using the ground strap that Cool Tec included with the antenna.
