My CB aerial is mounted on the roof bar which is not earthed the swr does not seem to be to bad, on my old Vitara I had a similar set up and I messed about earthing it to see if it improved the swr it made no difference what soever, I think that the screen of the cable is earthed through the radio which makes it unnecessary to run a separate earth but that is just a guess on my part as I have not tested it to see

Thanks 1eswilluk! That's what I was thinking with the magmount - the earth goes right back through the radio and along the power cable.
