My son has a Hatadi Loepard MK2 radio which he cannot get working. We have put an antenna on the roof, does this need to be earthed ? Does the UHF itself need to be earthed as
well. He has been told to run another power wire to one of the screws on the back of the radio itself. I find this hard to believe.
Can anyone help us.
Thanks

hullo wato, the UHF or aerial don't need to be earthed as such. Does the radio turn on ok, are the lights working? I guess you've got it hooked up to a 12volt supply somehow, just
check that it's putting enough amps out. To simplify this, a normal power supply for radios will be ok but if you're using ,say, a model train set supply, then it will not have enough oomph to allow transmission or reception. If all this appears ok then it's possible that the radio is cactus. Latin Stufftous Maximous. Rus.
