Hard wire it mate...! you must have a constant 12v supply behind the dash you can tap into. If you remove the shroud under the steering wheel you may find a spare factory plug... it will have constant 12v. Depends on what year your GQ is. Mine is 97 ST and it has one.

Hi Lance,
it's all done now thanks. It's an ex telstra GU & I did hard wire it, direct to the battery with an inline fuse holder on top of the battery. in your other post about the switch, thanks again, I found a taped up Telstra cable coiled up behind the dash with a 12v supply (positive & negative) independent of the ignition so used that.

Have you had the SWR checked on the antenna? I used to check it on AM radios, because it was critical. I installed my Uniden FM without doing it, but since then, I have been advised to do it, to get maximum output and range.
My advice is: not to follow my advice.

That may be something I'll have to wait until someone who knows what to do visits!
