Elaborating on the latter... Wiring & Grounding

Excerpt:

"The most important consideration is where the power comes from. You should never power any amateur radio from any existing vehicle wiring harness, QRP or otherwise. This includes accessory (cigarette lighter) sockets, and using a modified blade fuses as power taps. If you violate these basic rules, you run a great risk of burning the vehicle’s wiring harness which might start a fire. There is absolutely no auto repair more costly than an electrical fire!"

Sometimes you find yourself in the middle of nowhere. And sometimes in the middle of nowhere, you find yourself.
