What's the best way to setup and ground my archer 21 940 antenna guys? I just have it mounted to my toolbox if that makes a difference:grin:

If the antenna is on a magnet mount & sitting on top of the toolbox, you first need to ground/bond the chassis together. Doors to cab, bed to cab, hood to fenders, ect. ect. And don't forget to ground the antenna magnet mount to the toolbox. And don't use round power wire as ground cables. Use flat braided tinned copper straps. Personally I would lose the magnet mount & mount the antenna straight to the toolbox, just run a small bead of silicone around the base so the tool box doesn't leak. If you're using a magnet mount so you can easily remove it, then just get a quick disconnect from www.breedlovemounts.com
