I would agree that this is one of the main factors for fusing the ground. Remember you have a antenna that is grounded with a possibility of a ground difference. Use better than OEM fuse holders though, for I had a hum in my radio at full power that went away when I put real fuse holders on it. I think it is safe to say that no ground fuse is necessary in vehicles as long as it is the ONLY ground (not mounted to metal and no antenna connected) John - KI4AWK Yahoo!
