    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.

    Thats what I thought. I couldnt think of any possible way to ground the antenna itself.

    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

    Yea impulse got the best of me on this one. I wanted it done now and look nice so I purchased the window mount rather than ordering a mount. Ill learn from that next time.

    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.
