VALUE(S)

YES

NO

1

Disconnect negative battery cable.
Disconnect antenna lead-in cable at the 
radio receiver.
With a DVOM, measure resistance 
between the coax (outer conductor) con-
nector and the negative battery cable.

NOTE: To avoid misdiagnosis be sure
to zero the meter before taking measure-
ments.

Is resistance value greater than.15 ohms?

>.15 ohms

Check the base of the 

antenna for a good connec-

tion to body ground.

Check the coaxial cable 

interconnects for a  poor 
connection or corrosion.

Check the ground connec-

tion from the battery nega-

tive cable to the body. 

Repair the antenna ground 

circuit as necessary.

Go to step 2.

2

Grasp the antenna mast.

While observing the DVOM, wiggle the 

antenna and the lead-in cable ground 

strap. Does the meter indicate intermit-

tent continuity?

Check the lead-in cable 
ground strap for a good 

connection to body ground.

Check the coaxial cable 
interconnects for a poor 

connection or corrosion.

Check the ground connec-

tion from the battery nega-

tive cable to the body.

Repair the antenna ground 

circuit as necessary.

Go to step 3.

3

With a DVOM, measure the resistance 

between the radio coax lead-in connector 

(center conductor) and the antenna mast.

NOTE: To avoid misdiagnosis be sure
to zero the meter before taking measure-
ments.

Does the measured resistance equal ap-
proximately the value listed?

Less than 

3.5 ohms

Go to step 4.

Check the coaxial cable 
interconnects for a poor 

connection or corrosion.

Repair/replace the antenna 

coaxial circuit as neces-

sary.

While observing the DVOM, wiggle the 

antenna. Does the meter indicate inter-

mittent continuity?

Check the coaxial cable 

interconnects for a  poor 
connection or corrosion.

coaxial circuit as neces-

sary.

for noise and poor recep-

tion.
