And the wire that you are talking about trimming is not the COAX ....IT is the wire that makes up the ground side of the floating "Ground" which is a misnomer. DO NOT GROUND this wire to the frame . This wire has to remain ungrounded as it acts as a COUNTER POISE. In some instances this is the only way to make an antenna work on some of these vehicles withoout re-designing the electrical layout of the tractor. *** AND whose shop is going to allow a driver to re-wire the entire tractor ???***
Does it work well for you tater gator ?? You must have a well experienced tech doing your work ! Anyone ever use this set-up slip seating ??? Just wondering ??......
GOOD LUCK  |
