Hello,

I was wondering if there's no way to ground your antenna or equiptment. Is there a second alternative to not give TVI?

Try putting decoupling loops in the coax just under the feed point of the antenna.

All decoupling loops are is about 6-8 loops in the coax that you feed the antenna with.

Try making your loops between 4-6 inches in diameter. I guess another way to express this is to call it a coil in the coax. But it has to be at the antenna end not the radio end.

Marty
