Thank you for the help. I did go directly to the battery for power, but used the ground lug on the passenger footwell area. I just used a 6 gauge wire for the Antenna ground. No excess wire, I barely had enough coaxial cable to reach the CB. Should I change the antenna ground wire? I can stop by a truck stop tomorrow for any supplies.
