Unless you buy an antenna that is the non-grounded type, you must ground your antenna.

And how does it work now without a ground at all?
You don't ground our type of antenna. Thats one reason I took extra care in grounding the radio as its the only ground the system is working off of.
I grounded my wire somewhere different and I got much better quality and distance. Still only about a mile but that what you get when you buy a cheap antenna.
thats the funny part at an average of $30 for them there not cheap IMO it's the window mount design really limits the effectiveness
I've done the same thing bro with a few of my mods. The window mount I knew the limitations and what to expect out of it. I'll probably upgrade to a fire stick at some point there where a few times I needed the range not many but it's happened.
This is where I have mounted my CB Radio It is very easy to get to and is out of my way.
