I like it simple

I have a 1st run ICOM IC-2720H (it hasn't burned up the finals yet like most did) dual band remote mounted in the rear of my Outback wagon. There's an NMO mount on the roof rail that I either run a Comet B-10 or Comet SBB-5 antenna on. The radio suffers some from intermod in downtown Austin, that's one reason why I use the B-10 around town (less gain equals less interference). Pretty pleased with the setup.

In my truck I have a Yaesu FT-2800M and a CB. Antennas are a 2M Hamstick and a 102" SS whip mounted on the ends of the headache rack behind my cab. I also usually carry my 396 and VX-170 with me, but the VX-170 usually just gets used as a VHF scanner. I also have a mag mount cellular antenna I sometimes use with the 396.

I need to get a rig for my car, probably something with a remote head because of limited space.

I have a Kenwood tm-v7a mabile dual bander, alot of 2m and 70cm repeaters around me. Also have a radioshack 10 meter mobile. Both radios were given to me from hams in the local club as i cant afford radios. I bought a yeasu ft-60r when i got my license and use that in the apartment as our local repeater i can hit from inside with that. Also have my cobra CB that has been in the truck since highschool. Ultimate goal is to be able to monitor every freq range in the truck and use them as my licenses increase my ability.

Same thing but I also have a short 2m/440 antenna clears the garage and is on much of the time. I also got the Diamond NR22L with is a 2M only antenna which stand 97 inches tall. Great for some severe weather conditions when I want to work a far away repeater.

Also a BCD996T with a RS glass mount antenna.

[stevolene]

mine is a 7800 with a 2/440 diamond 1/4 mag mount for now, still unsure about that antenna

[K2DMG]

I have a 2004 Chevy Impala with a Jotto Desk Console. I use a Uniden BCT-15, Kenwood TM-708A, and Icom 706MKIIG. For the antennas first is a Antenex CB144/440CS (Black) for the Kenwood V708A, an Antenex ABSCANS (Black) for the BCT-15 and a Tarheel M75 (Black) for the 706MKIIG. The Tarheel is 80 Meters - 10 Meters with the supplied whip.

The V708A and the Icom 706MKIIG are both remote mounted. Both radios are mounted in my truck with the head of the V708A attached to the Jotto Desk along with the BCT-15. The head of the 706MKIIG is attached to my cup holder in of my arm rest. All wires are hidden and can not be seen. Many, Many man hours are put into the install of all the radios.

Here is a crappy picture from my cellphone.

Greets,

I Have it simple, a Kenwood TM-D710A Dual band with the AVMAP G5 connected for APRS use, I can either use the hand mic or the Heil Traveller depending on my mood.

[DaveNF2G]

Is that a Ford Windstar? Not many vehicles with a dashboard that deep.

[WX4JCW]

if your talking about me its a Freightliner Cascadia an 09
pretty nice rig but no mirror mounts for antennas

[rhomeeyeball]

My first post so Hello everyone.
I use a Yaesu FT-7800 for 2M and 70 and a Kenwood TS-480 for 6M and HF in the truck.

also a 2800 / small stick in my truck. so far so good

[tekshogun]

I used to have a Yaesu FT-7800 but I destroyed it...

Currently: Yaesu VX-5R tri-band, Icom IC-V82 (VHF, 2m with 7watts), Motorola HT1250 UHF (got it REAL cheap).

My single band radios get the most use and my VX-5, which I've had now for 5 years has seen a lot of use and is still going but I use that often for satellite communications (dual/split VFO and all that good stuff), testing repeater frequencies to program into my Icom and Motorola and as a scanner since it has excellent wide RX coverage.

[KI6ABZ]

I love my FT-7800. I'm looking at upgrading, though: either a Kenwood dual-band or a Yaesu FT-8900.

[nexus]

I've got the FT-8900 in my impala and I love the radio.

[Lobstah_Guy]

What do you use for an antenna/antennas and do you operate all 4 bands?

[jmp883]

My current mobile setup in my 1996 Ford Explorer consists of a Kenwood TM-V708 and a remote-mounted Uniden BCT-15/RH-96 remote head scanner mounted on a Lido gooseneck.

[geoff5093]

I have a Kenwood V71A 2m/440 radio, Yaesu 1802 that's used for APRS, and occasionally I will bring along my GRE PSR-500.
