Ground necessity
#2

I don't know of many radios that will work without an antenna, but most will work without a ground. However, from my experience, the earlier ones (mid 30's and back) don't work well without a proper ground. They can have problems with weak reception and noisier operation (static). Non-superhets are the most affected by not having a proper ground connection.
