the thing i am hung up on is where and how do i attatch the ground to the antenna? |

| The ground comes off the bottom of the antenna, there should be a nylon bushing that keeps the top part of the antenna away from the metal. The ground part is the "E" part of this diagram:  More info: http://www.firestik.com/Tech_Docs/jeeps.htm |

| You might consider shooting an email to the tech support of your antenna mfg as well, ask what size wire etc.... they might have a specific fix for your application that could save you some time and hassle.
Good luck, once it is set up it will be nice. |
