Autocom 300 with Puxing 777

[cheeseslice]

Hello all,

I've read all of the posts to do with the Autocom but I'm still a bit confused and was hoping for a bit of advice on a couple of things before I start installing.

I have bought myself a kit300 duo(half price!!) and a puxing radio with the battery eliminator pack. I've read a lot about ground loop and how a nosie filter is needed but if I were to connect the earth cables of both the autocom and the radio back to the same point would this cure any interference problems?

The other question I have is about connecting up the radio, will the basic kenwood cable do? I was hoping to use a PTT button on the handlebars but I don't know if I like the autocom button with the velcro. I was going to try making one myself but I can't find any decent waterproof switches.

I don't have the round loop issue with my 777 and autocom when using a battery eliminator, so assume it's only an issue when using the 3.5mm jacks. Take a look at my other thread on a PTT button using the indicator cancel button.
