307: One of my mobile radios has been hanging from a plastic dash for years,works fine ,no problems.Today I was reading an owners manual,something I rarely do,and noticed that it said the radio itself should be grounded.It stated that if you mount to a plastic dash ,run a wire from a metal object to the case.As I said mine is doing well as it is.Is it necessary to ground the case of the radio? |

Nope ,Always go RED and BLACK to the battery. If you use the fuse block , attatch the BLACK wire to the frame. (second choice) |

It never hurts to ground it to the frame,you can never have to much ground |

I know this is an old message, but hopefully somebody will notice. I have the same question. I ran my new radio for a month with no problems before seeing the same thing in my manual. I've always thought the same thing as Mike concerning the idea that you can never have too much ground, but I read somewhere on this or another board that running the extra ground wire can result in ground loops/feedback.
Anybody got more on this? |
