While listening to Uncle NOAA the other night, my radio started cutting out,
intermittently. Reaching for the radio, as I touched the mike cord the radio worked fine. When I let go, static. then the next morning, it seemed to work just fine. Someone suggested a bad ant. gound (?). What do you think? Scotty |

Scotty 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? Cheers Marty |

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. RB, CB handle: Jabba "Martin Baxter" wrote in message ...

Don't know or understand the difference between chassis ground and earth
ground do you? RB "HUh?" wrote in message igy.com... Yaba dabba do, to you. "Bobsprit" wrote in message k.net...
