Compactenna Finally Working!
So as stated in my previous post I did configure a ground jumper from the NMO mount to the ground at the FireRing. However in doing this I discovered I had a short when testing continuity on the setup. Further testing revealed a short inside the cabling conductor and the grounding sheath. Luckily I had enough cable to simply cut it and this allowed me to switch from using the FireRing to a PL-259 connector on the end. After continuity was successfully tested to have no shorts I was happy. Below is the final outcome with a FireStik offset mounting plate I had previously. Now I can simply get a NMO to 3/8-24 stud adapter like TRAMs 1295 when I need to switch to my CB radio.
