CB Antenna
Does anyone know; Does a CB antenna have to be grounded for it to work. I am hooking up duel antenna but my mirrors are plastic. I am tired of putting it on the roof.

Another possibility is to attach a ground wire to back of CB itself (think there's a screw marked GND). Run the wire from CB to a screw somewheres under the dash where metal meets metal or near fuse block. On some semis, a wire is ran directly from CB to neg side of battery. Another option though you said you don't like or getting tired of putting ant on roof is to get a magnet mount w/ removable ant. K40 makes such a thing. My magnet mount hasn't been moved in 10+ years, but I just put on/take off ant as needed. When not in use, put cap on magnet base where ant attaches to it. But try either the other ant options mentioned or run a add'l ground wire.
