Changes nothing, just enhances the problem. My info is still accurate. If
you want to continue using that 'mount'. Fine. But you still need to
GROUND EVERYTHING on the chasis of the vehicle. That is STILL the problem.
Strap it all together.

Hi:
Probably beneficial to clarify something, the antenna is a Hustler
attached to a 3 magnet mount type system. This type of system has
no physical ground, only capactive type ground.
