Installed a K400s mount on rear hatch. Placed two ground straps to bond the hatch and prepped the area for the mount set screws to get a good contact.

The ATAS acted like it was working fairly well, then it just acted like the gears are stripped. I can hear it "whir", but no uppy or downy. I can manually tune it from the menu ok, but pressing the tune button just goes "whir".

It may still be a ground issue, but honestly, I can't think of anything else, except mig welding the hatch shut.

I solved the problem, though. I just took everything out and put my Wilson 1000 magnet mount back on top and slapped my Optima back in.

Problem solved!

Secretly, I think I wanted to run this radio in the shack, anyways.
