| I have the 75WXST, I like the fact that it is small and the controls are at the microphone. I got it for $90 on Ebay. | |

| In my TJ with the 75 I mounted the radio box itself behind the glove box next to the fuse box. Lots of boxes. Not sure if that applies to the JK. | |

| Ok borrowed runda's meter and dialed in my antenna but no one answer's me and I only hear chatter when my jeep isnt running.
When it is running all I get is a loud feedback noise.
Any suggestions? | |

| I would run the power straight to the battery.... also ensure that your ground is solid. | |

| Ensure that the mount is grounded to the frame. Don't count on hinges body mts. Etc.
