What the hell, public forum or not, I need some help here, and this
guy is giving legal users a bad name.

I've approached the guy *several* times over the past few yrs and
asked him very nicely to lower the boost/gain (whatever it's called)
on his radio and he has complaied to a certain extent.

His broadcast were only coming through my stereo speakers during low
passages at the time.

As of a few months ago, it is now so bad, that his broadcast are now
coming through my TV speakers, and causing horizontal lines in the
picture. (on all four of my TV's) And it's so bad on my computer
speakers now, that I have to turn them off. As far as listening to my
stereo, I can't even do that now if he is broadcasting.

So I approached him again, only this time, he told me to "F off", that
"he wasn't doing anything illegal".

When I got home, not only was the broadcast even louder, he was
telling one of his radio buddies about the "incident" in FULL detail.

So, I know for a FACT it is him.

I know just need to know what kind of radio he is using.

Question, can a CB transmit


Yes. A CB can transmit.

Now, about your problem. Here's the deal. Your stereo, your TV and
even your CD players are all FCC Part 15 devices. That means that
they are at fault if they are receiving interference from properly
operated, licensed equipment. Your Good Buddy neighbor, operating CB
or Amateur Radio is operating under FCC rules part 97 and/or 95. As
such, their operation is protected by the Federal Government. What
that all means is this: THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR MITIGATING ANY
INTERFERENCE ISSUES FALLS FIRST ON YOUR SHOULDERS.

Have a nice day...
