Issue with through hole NMO mount in vehicle.


Question

Posted

I have been using a magnetic NMO mount on my vehicle for about 6 months. I did not like the cord showing so I decided to install a through hole mount in my roof since people are saying it is just overall better to mount this way. I installed it as according to the instructions and when I went to turn the radio on, it would not receive anything. My radio is capable of receiving the NOAA radio channels and I was planning on tuning into the strongest one for my area before I attempted to transmit. I assumed that if I did not set up the antenna correctly. I would damage my radio if I tried to transmit. The interesting part of this is that when I turned the vehicle off, the radio began receiving the NOAA channel very clearly for the 3 seconds it takes for it to turn off. I have no idea what this means. I believe I assembled everything correctly and I checked all of the connections at the radio itself. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
