Don't know or understand the difference between chassis ground and earth
ground do you?

Coronal discharge of the antenna tip or failure to provide a dc path
from
the antenna "hot" to "cold".

Earth ground or water ground does very little for a VHF radio. The
whole
rig
can "float" and work great.

I'd suspect a bad ground somewhere, remove and clean all
connections,
replace
same and tighten well. Are you using any of those automotive type
crimp
on
connectors?
