How do you have your stud mount assembled? It should be stud, nylon washer with the step pointing down and through the bracket hole, bracket, spoked washer if you have one and then coax stud going up through it.

Well, assuming you have everything installed right and you're not grounding out, how high do you have your squelch set at?

Actually, it depends on the type of coax cable and stud you have. Here are 2 different examples of how to do it right.
