I'm using this configuration with a Teraflex antenna mount (powder coated).




I've read that I need to grind off some of the powder coating from the antenna mount to create a ground. However, I've also heard that I should install a separate ground to the frame/main body. If I leave the powder coating intact and choose to do the ground (necessary or overkill?), where does the ground get attached to the antenna? Can you point to the location using my attached picture?

Thanks in advance.

would bad grounding cause bad transmitting?.I can receive very well but when I transmit I can only transmit as far as the Jeep in front of me , the jeep 3 Jeeps up doesn't receive my transmission at all

Thanks, Toad.

I'm on the right track now.
