I am an over-the-road trucker and have installed a power inverter in my truck 
to convert dc to ac. I use it to run refrigerator, microwave, tv, laptop, etc.  
The problem I am having is that the inverter is generating a signal that my cb 
is picking up and creating a lot of static and noise to the point that 
reception is tremendously reduced.  The manufacture suggested some things I can 
do to help, which I have done, but still have noise.  They also mentioned 
building a faraday cage.  How and what material do I need to do this?

Thank You!
Glenn
