Hey Fausto79, here is a pic of my UHF install, there is a plug behind panel that you can pick up both earth and power, UHF anntennae generally dont need ground plane but putting ant on rear wheel carrier will generally transmit forward and to the left, mounted on bullbar generally will transmit moreso backwards, centre of roof is ideal but not generally practical unless mounted on roofrack,
cheers

Fitted my UHF to the roof console. Looks good. Has awesome range. My antenna is on the bull bar.
With the chirpie sounds i did as suggested and turned out the sound was from the drive belt tensioner bearing. I ended up buying the whole assembly including an expansion tank as well for about $130 delivered from UK and arrived in 4 DAYS! Changed the tensioner over and changed drive belt while i was at it and it now sounds awesome (quiet).
Glad it worked out.
Incidentally, with the hanging UHF mike cord, its possible to use one of those retractable cord thingies like you get in dog lead reels to hold the cord up out of the way. Just a thought...

I just tuck my mic lead into the overhead console bin. Stays there on everything except the really rough stuff.

SubscriberMy UHF unit is mounted in the top centre console but did not want the hanging cord, so I ran an extension lead (which is like a phone wire) for the speaker mic around the windscreen under the trim and down to the console on the floor. Clipped the speaker mic to the console - cord comes out of a grommet in the plastic.Originally Posted by DiscoMick

I leave the mic in the glove box until i need it and take off the antenna when im in the city.
as far as the cord os concerned i have the clip for it mounted on the side of the cb unit and clip the mic onto it and the cord is not too bothersome although i tuck it into the passenger side sunvisor. was thimking of making some kind of hook to hook it onto but we shall see.
thanks for ur posts.
