Try a cable tie in the middle of the excess cable AFTER you loop it in a figure eight.
Any long cable acts as an antenna....

Thanks again for the input,
Tried it all makes no difference. However, I did notice that when I switched from 800 to 455 the interference went away completely.

I have the same issue, I checked the fuse in the fortrex head it it was fine. I opened up the bow panel and moved some cables around. It help a little, however, it still have the interfance when I get on the TM and after a few minutes on constant it does clear up some. I plan on getting a helix 7 for the bow so I will mess around with it in the spring but I'm thinking the issue might be my on board charger linked from my TM batteries to starting battery...
Thanks jtracc, I will disconnect my charger from the cranking battery and see what happens.
