Okay so hear me out on this one, I'm trying to keep a stock look on my car but add a ham radio antenna for a decent price. I don't use my AM/FM/Serious on my car and am willing to sacrifice that antenna for my ham radio. I have seen many people online stating that this could cause damage to my car's stereo but I was wondering if there was a way to run a separate wire for my ham radio and simply use the cars mounting point, not using any of the cars wiring. Using this location would keep my antenna looking stock and clean I'm also pretty new at this and am working off a baofeng using VHF/UHF frequencies (for the moment). Is this setup possible and this should I run an amplifier with this setup? Thank you all in advance for your help and thoughts!
