I apologize for this being a little off topic. I've recently installed
a cb radio and am picking up lots of alternator whine that is coming in
from the antenna. I've ordered an alternator noise suppressor
(http://www.crutchfield.com/S-VqGuUio...nfo&i=127ANS80)
which arrives next week.

Looking at the online installation instructions
(http://akamaipix.crutchfield.com/Man...7/127ANS80.PDF), it
indicates that I may have to add a "10000 or 50000 mfd capacitor" to
completely block the noise. The installation looks simple enough, but
where do I buy one? I've searched the web but can't find it. Does
"mfd" translate to another measurement? Can anyone point me in the
right direction?

Thanks in advance.
mfd=Microfarads or uF. In other words buy yourself a nice big
electrolytic cap (about 30wvdc for make sure it surives) and put it
across the leads. Get it at Ratshack, or any electronic parts
supplier.
