and by “bond” you mean... ensure a good connection. In my world any connection to ground that can carry a large load is a good connection...
help me understand in do apologize
I’m a diesel technician I work on trucks all day chase ground issues... may be different than what your explaining... but I know all components of the vehicle are grounded properly to battery negative terminal on the battery
Please repost the link thanks...
I’m not understanding the pocket radio thing??? Looking for loss of signal in a certain area? Like play the radio put it up to my alternator see if signal fades??? o_Oo_Oo_O
Defiantly Worth a try!
stupid question why the exhaust?
I know these turbos have shaft bushings instead of bearings.. could shaft to bushing be causing noise???
I can always jumper anything back to the ground post on the battery and see if noise changes
bed, engine block, ECM, cab
I can take a pair of jumper cables and hook to negative post on battery and out it on a bare spot on any of those... but I’m still not understanding why it would put noise...
I understand completely where you are going with the ground situation I’ve chased my tail many of times with ground issues... I did run a jumper from battery negative (where radio is grounded at on the battery terminals ) to the antenna mount.. same issue... I also know for a fact the engine...
ill try the ground to radio case... but I would think not all of my radios have a case ground issue ( my wife’s truck all the radios don’t have any noise )
my antenna which is grounded perfectly to my batteries ohm tested directly to battery with a $350 true RMS SnapOn multimeter
Noise...

the blower motor is 99% of the time not running in my truck ( I’m in Texas it’s February and it’s 75 today)
what other “wires” are you...
Antenna grounded good! Resistance checked from mount to battery negative perfect connection... Also coax routed from antenna @ headache rack (on flat bed) through beer window (rear center sliding glass window), under back seat to under front seat by center console... (not near any electric...
Ok so I’m a Diesel Technician, not a radio technician I’m working on it.....
My truck, a 07 Dodge Ram 2500 with a Cummins Diesel engine has a high pitched whine noise with all radios ( narrowed it down to the truck Wife’s truck don’t do it ). High pitched whine when I start the truck, worse...
I have 50 amp maxi fuse with 6ga cables rigged up to check the 700 watt 350watt should be enough for those but like I said i don’t think I can test the 1000watt fat boy
I have a galaxy DX33HML it puts out:
1watt key 20 watt swing on LOW
3watt key 20 watt swing on MED
8watt key 20 watt swing on HIGH
I don’t know if it is putting out with in spec but seems decent
MY ISSUE IS...
On low SWR barely moves the needle ch 1 & 40 which is perfect
on med SWR 1.4...
