My eternal thanks to all for their time and advice. "See" you all on the radio. Dan WSBV762

Good day all! I am brand new to GMRS and have ordered a Midland MXT 500 GMRS radio with a Midland MXT 26 Mag-Mount antenna for the roof of my Hyundai Tuscon. I have seen many videos regarding "RF Ground" and "DC Ground". One video in particular has stated that it would be very beneficial to attach a ground wire to the srew-on base of the mag-mount and screw the antenna on to the base. Then, take the ground wire and attach it to the chassis of the vehicle to provide a better ground situation. Am I over-thinking all of this or does this make sense? If the magnet to roof top alone will do the job, then I will live with that. Thanks to all for helping out the new kid on the block. Dan, WSBV762
