The mounting bracket should be grounded to the truck and attached to the
coax sheild. There SHOULD be an insulator between the antenna and the
bracket so leave it there.

You should be able to remove the plastic inserts where the antennas are
mounted. You may also have a problem with the splitter that allows the
stereo and TV to use the same antennas. Maybe you can use one antenna
for
the CB and the other for everything else. As for the whine, I agree with
everyone else. Once the antennas are working properly, it may go away.

If I remove the plastic inserts from the antenna mount, will that create
a
direct short when I am transmitting?

I believe the splitter could be the problem also, like I said earlier if
this my truck I would rip it all out and start from scratch. I did a
little
work ... swr @ 2.1. I just transmitted 9 miles. Whine still there ...
might be louder.

I am still wondering what is actually causing the whine i.e. alternator,
fuel pump ....... maybe I need to look at the source of the whine rather
than the ability to filter it out?
