CB Radio
Hi guys hoping I can pick someones brains here...
I've installed an Intek H-520 radio in my 2012 model Disco and am having problems with signal and static etc...
I had a magnetic mount on the roof but didn't like the idea of the cable scratching the roof so changed it to a
gutter mount fixed to the rails along the top of the motor angle ground the bracket and it fits like a glove.
Not sure if the coaxil cable is kinked or i'm not getting a good enough earth....So I've ordered an earth cable but
am not clued up enough to work out where or what to earth it too
Any ideas....
Or maybe someone out there with a radio fitted can give some advice.....Cheers Madmac.......

Hi Madmac,
If you can make it to the S.C.A.M next Tuesday there will be a couple of D3's there with radio's installed,you can have a look and talk to some like minded people also.
But I advise going through it all to get the requisite background knowledge. You especially want to pay attention to the fundamental difference between a DC ground and an RF ground:
Another alternative might be to find your local Amateur radio club and ask them for help. Warning: if you're in any way technical, it becomes an addictive hobby.
