wiring Question

[Night Eagle]

My new radio is scheduled for delivery today. My current radio has the power wire run to the battery. The ground wire is connected to a bolt under the dash and it has worked fine. Is that OK or should the ground also go to the battery?

If its a low power radio (less than 30w) than the frame ground is fine.

Hello fellow North Carolinian. Thanks for the response. I will be installing a SWP Gereral Lee but no amp yet.

10-4 on that youll be fine with your setup just use a good auto-grade fuse at your battery and one at your radio. Fuses save radios. 73's

Thanks Yamaha. By the way, is Willow Spring near Fuquay Varina? What channel do you guys use?

I went to Fuquay Varina high school. Most the locals around NC talk on 36lsb and 30am. The old timers get on 30am everyday around 8 in the morning and again around 11 every night. You normaly can key up and hit someone on 36lsb anytime of day.

Okay. Thanks again for the info. Now just patiently waiting for that UPS truck to pull in my driveway...
