I installed my ball mount on the trunk of my car and the cobra 29 im using recieves fine but will not transmit. The radio works fine on the dummyload and the home setup. Do i need to put ground straps on the trunk. I never had problems when i ran this setup on anyof the 3 vans i had. Any Ideas.

Yes, on some cars you DO need to run extra ground straps or wires from the trunk lid to the frame to achieve a good ground.

Added ground strap from trunk lid to shock tower. No more problems with that. Now on with the other problems. Thanks.
