getting rid of two-way radio interference?

sometimes, when i play my rogue tempest magnum i will get a cb or two-way radio reception blasting through my speakers. it's blown a fuse once and it prevents me from actually listening to music. i know it only happens when 'the other guy' is on. short of tracking him down, is there anything i can do to eliminate this annoyance?

thanks in advance

Not a whole lot you can do. Below is a link to some reading material. You could possibly filter him out if you can find him and the frequency he is transmitting at.

If your interference happens on all sources and is not affected by the volume control, then the Rogue itself is the culprit and you should focus your attention there.

It also can be the speaker cables and the speakers. I have seen instances where the amp is turned off and the Ham could still be heard faintly through the speakers.

Ghostrider45, why is it never the Ham operator's fault and always the audio system's? With all the commercial radio stations transmitters RF in the airways they do not come through audio systems like a Ham Operator's RF. Could you please explain?
