VHF/UHF is a VERY different animal with respect to RFI to and from a
vehicle's electronics. Using the vehicle's chassis as the return for
power is a recipe for serious problems. Yes, it carries DC just fine,
but it forms a BIG loop that is a sitting duck for all the RF trash in
the vehicle.

I was once a 2-way radio tech and have installed over 1000 business

thing we, the companies I've worked for, was NEVER to run a dedicated
ground wire to the battery. We used a short ground wire from the radio
and the local vehicle chassis.
