I had the same problem with my 196 on internal power, but  when I take it off it doesn't cause any problems or noise. Not usable with  internal power. Boyd suggested that it was the data wires integrated in the  cable. I drilled them out of the end that runs into the GPS, but it didn't cure  the problem. So I just run it on batteries. Not sure why you are still getting  static.

The computer and digital circuits in the gps generate a wide band of radio noise.. By law the strength of the radiation is limited..  Separating the two devices as far as is practical might help?   Tying both units to a common ground might work? ..otherwise make an aluminum case for as much of the gps as is practical and ground that.. Herb
