Hi there,
A question for anyone who has the above antenna.
Mine has been working perfectly until our trip this past week. Whenever I trued to tune my antenna it beeped at me with a failed message on the screen. Once driving for a while it seemed to tune ok without any problems.
It indicated to me a power issue, but the question is why all of a sudden. Nothing in the truck has changed. Same battery, same fridge, same radio, same wiring, but suddenly these problems.
if anyone has any suggestions as to
where to start to look to resolve this it would be most appreciated.

Remember the 9350 has two earth straps one where the rubber vibration mounts are earthing the the top and bottom plate (6mm wire).
The second earth point is from the base of the mount to the vehicle (big eart strap).
If the antenna has to be tuned from one frequency and the other frequency is along way apart it may not tune the first time, example from 14 Mhz to 5 Mhz.
The other thing is is your antenna is a "A" or "B" series there may be a proble internaly with it...they had known problems.
Most "A" and "B" series have been repaired by now and upgraded to a "C" or "D" series.
