Yes. Also to prevent cross talk from the CB to other things, like
your stereo when you key up. Not saying that you will have an if you
hook up the way the OP is, but even a lot of your cheap Radio Shack
brand CB even tell you in the instructions (like men read them) that
you should hook it direct to the battery.

Umm, not sure, I have heard the term before, but not sure what it
actually is.

Which is a real good way to wind up with a dead battery because you forgot
to turn off the radio.

Well than, I suggest you don't forget to turn it off.

Check the fuse in the radio.

Why? Is that to prevent interference from the other items getting power
from that source?

Thanks for the lecture Tom. I knew all this already so I am not sure
why you felt you had to explain it.
As to the rest, hook the damn thing up how ever you freaking want too,
I honestly don't care. My point was simple to understand and it was
also correct, but you knew that.

Crosstalk is any phenomenon by which a signal transmitted on one circuit
creates an undesired effect in another. This can occur if the wire that you
have connected the CB up to is insufficient in size to carry the max load of
the CB and whatever else is connected to it causing a voltage drop. The
current load of a CB can get quite high and is directly proportional to the
amount of modulation (you speaking) that the transmitter is transmitting
which will cause the voltage drop to modulate as well. This rapidly varying
voltage drop can negatively affect other components on the circuit although
I doubt that the cigarette lighter circuit is one that you would have to
worry much about as it already is a high current capable circuit with not
much on it.

LOL, my mistake. I misread the joke about instructions and thought that
someone didn't know what crosstalk was. My mistake. Now stop acting like a
5 year old when someone doesn't agree with everything that you say.
