I'm getting a lot of interference from the HID headlights on my truck, has anybody else ran into this problem and if so is there anything to combat this. I purchase the Procomm noise filter switch box in hopes that is would help and it does but when its in use my reception is horrible. I was testing it out with a buddy of mine and we couldn't here each other until we were about 500ft apart and even then it wasn't that good. I've read a few things around on the net and there doesn't seem to be a positive solution. Common things I've read are wrapping the ballasts with aluminum foil and using ferrite beads on the power supply lines. And yes before you ask I have run my power directly to the battery and everything is properly grounded. I'm running the Uniden 980 for a radio. My antennas at the moment are Cobra mag mounts, and maybe that's a source of my problems, they are soon to be changed to mounted Firefly's. Maybe some of the HAM's could chime in on this, there's got be somebody running HID's with HAM radios. Give me your thoughts.
I will apologize ahead of time if there has already been a thread started on this, I did some searching and didn't find much.
