Ham radio installed today

That's just a little cheap b-tech 2 m/ 70cm. Got the nmo antenna from them when I bought the radio. The antenna mount I got from Amazon uses one of the cowl bolts right in front of the driver's door. I will post pictures when I get it mounted

Wonder if it's the same bracket I ordered only I used the Midland antenna. Radio is in the Jeep but I haven't mounted it yet. Seeing yours and how clean it is kind of crushes my previous ideas on where I thought I might want to put it.

I used the @wayoflife antenna/accessory bed mounts on mine with a Midland antenna. Since I had one on both sides, I checked for ground continuity across the bed between the brackets. I got a good signal on the meter and after checking the resistance at ~3 Ohms, decided to go with a grounded installation. The only drawback was my 18' cable came up about a foot short, so I have an extension coming this week. Being a belt and suspenders type of guy, I'll probably also ground the brackets to the frame.

3 Ohms sounds like a lot for something which should act as a conductor. But if you do not disconnect your battery, there could be other current flow going on, which could throw off the meter's reading.
