Default CB radio interference with USB devices on computer

You don't mention what kind of CB you are using. Is it a handheld
walkie-talkie type with a rubber duck type of antenna or is it a mobile
with an external antenna? If it is a walkie-talkie type with a rubber
duck antenna, you're probably out of luck and will need to just deal with
the interference to your USB plug or back further away from your computer
when you use it. If you have a mobile with an external antenna, you may
have a mistmatch (high SWR condition) or possibly some feedline radiation
going on. Try moving your coax further away from the computer and see
what happens.

It's a mobile with an external antenna. It's right on top of my desk, where
my computer is, which is probably part of the problem. I'll try moving it
farther away and see what that does.
Thanks.
