Beartracker 885

I have a few here I ordered but haven't tested for my trucks. I heard from one person that he has been working flawless and he loves it.

Let's start with this question - is this your truck or is it a company truck?

Why I ask is if you need to modify your truck, it is better to be yours and not theirs.

Chances are that the antenna system on the truck is multiplexed with the am/fm radio and performs as well as or worse than if you would just hook up a piece of pasta to the coax.

This is a roundabout way to answer your question, seeing that the best solution is to start with a direct coax, leaving the rest of the system intact, and using a good mount with any antenna that you can afford.

So if this is your truck, get a quality coax from a good source (DX engineering) and a good mount (I bought them in bulk, so I don't have a recommendation - another forum member can recommend one).

Once this is done, then it is a matter of checking the system to find out if you need bonding to make the system effective or if it is good enough for you. Most likely, you will need bonding.
