I installed it around the Oudie power/data cable, about 1/2

the Oudie-side of the cable -- I have had no radio issues

I believe it has an auto squelch

Depending on the age of the transceiver it has a squelch threshold pot (it is very sensitive) either internally or for later models in the setup software that has to be adjusted upwards.

The Becker is similar for the Becker you need to look at the installation manual for instructions. Not the operating manual.
