----- Original Message ----- From: "Tom Rauch" <w8ji@contesting.com> My manual says to run the negative lead directly to the battery, particularly with todays unibody construction. All it takes is a weak weld giving way or a rusty joint causing the path to change At least they are no longer welded up on an assembly line of people. I worked on one of those over 40 years ago and I can testify there were certainly more than a couple of bad welds that went through. <:-)) Roger Halstead (K8RI, EN73 & ARRL Life Member) N833R, World's Oldest Debonair (S# CD-2) www.rogerhalstead.com to battery negative connection so that the rig power return becomes the power return for the entire vehicle electrical system? I did fuse the negative lead. If I change this where should I connect the power return lead (its easy enough to do)? Should I connect to any chassis metal near the battery, the engine block, or are you advocating that I only run one wire back to the battery from the rig and use the vehicle chassis as the power return? _______________________________________________ See: http://www.mscomputer.com for "Self Supporting Towers", "Wireless Weather Stations", and lot's more.
