static in the stereo

[djboots]

I just installed a new Pioneer Premier stereo. Now there is static on all the radio stations. I made sure the antenna was pluged back in to the radio of course. But i dont understand what the deal is:huh:. I'm wondering if i pulled a ground on the antenna or somthing.

Attach a ground wire to the chassis of the radio. Small guage should work fine.

Thank you! I'm betting that will do it now that i think about it

dj,

The 340 Dancer may have an electronic antenna requiring 12 volt and ground leads.

the wiring harness for the old radio just about matched the new radio. i do not remember leaving any wires un hooked that would show a power antenna. I'll have to double check everything again

turn off battery charger and check if you still have noise.
known problem on some older boats.
