Hi all

I have just reinstalled a radiomobile 1070 in my triumph stag. I have read through other threads that discuss similar matters with a heavy steer to problems with the earthing.

What I am not sure on is that the interference I get is when the ignition is on the accessories option, ie the engine isn't running - could that still be an earthing issue ?

I only get it on LW, only decent station is bbc radio 4,Mw seems ok - In fact I can't even get a station on Mw

The other very strange thing (in my opinion anyway) is that if I touch my spanners which hang on the wall with another metal object then that adds further noise to the interference !! And no they are not joined in any way
It also increases if I touch the alloy wheels with a spanner. Just mentioning this in case it provides any clues

Thanks

Darren
