internation truck install

Post by sscott9341 »

I have a maxtrac uhf radio to install into a International dump truck. How the heck do you hook up this radio to a positive ground system? Do they make a converter for the power, and do they make an isolator for the antenna ground? Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. The owner does not want to convert over to a negative ground system. svs

Buy a convertor, easiest way. I use this one on these trucks and it tends to work good.
