I have a Chevy truck with an ic-7000 in it. I also had a tarheel bolted it the tool box and the tool box is grounded with 6 ground straps.  The problems I had with the tarheel are the control cable. It picks up noise. I installed MANY RF choke on the line to tame it down. The steeper motor did not always stop in the right place and if it was too could out the motor did not work. The antenna needs a good ground plane and if you don¡¦t get RF down the control line it will work nice. I went back to the old way 102¡¦ whip and auto tuner ƒº 

Good luck ƒº
