I want to set up a mobile radio as a base station with an antenna on the roof. How would I go about grounding this? I'm having a hard time finding anything that isn't extremely technical. I could just avoid using it during bad weather, only putting it up when there is no chance of a storm, but part of the reason I want it is for emergencies - most of which in Central Texas involve storms.
I'm thinking about getting the Wouxun KG-1000G and Tram 1486 Base Antenna
Somebody must have already worked this out!
I sent an email to BuyTwoWayRadios customer service last week. I mentioned that as soon as I get the safety info I need I'll be placing an order. Usually, they have lightening fast response times on their customer service emails. I'm shocked I haven't heard back by now. Not sure why their customer service guys are not discharging their duties as technical helpers but maybe they have gone on strike.
