Radio Shack HTX-10 Marine Radio User Manual

The transceiver should be serviced only by a qualified radio
technician. If you still have problems, take your transceiver to a
local RadioShack store for assistance.
NOISE REDUCTION
Because your transceiver is exceptionally quiet, any noise you
hear is probably from an external source in your vehicle such as
your vehicle’s alternator, radio, or spark plugs.
To solve the problem, you must go to the noise's source. You
can determine the noise's source by turning off the engine and
operating the transceiver with your vehicle's ignition set to ACC.
If the noise decreases, the problem is in your vehicle’s ignition
or electrical system.
Here are a few hints to help you reduce or eliminate such
noise:
Make all transceiver power and antenna wires as short as
possible.
Route the power wires away from the antenna wires.
