Great selection of radios. You may want to try 1/4 wave antenna's on the roof.
Also, try some wire management, loomnig wires, hiding them where you can. It's a lot of radios in that small space but I know it can look good if you organize it correctly.

Nice selection of radios. Now you just need to clean up the wires and route them properly.

Definitely a nice collection! I agree, maybe some 1/4 wave antennas would clean your roof up a tad. NIce setup though.

I need the gain factor of 5/8 wave antennas, especially on the VHF fire radios as we run simplex in our county, I just need to find the time to clean up the install then it will be better. |

Ah ha, well that's understandable then. We only use simplex channels on the fireground, so just about any antenna will do for us in that regard.

I located the YouTube video and the reason why I'm using the repeater controller is because neither the 7180 or 8180 is dedicated to the vehicular repeater purpose, I use both as regular voice radios and have link frequencies that I use on VHF or UHF depending on what I want to cross band into. |

So that's what you have packed in that truck; nice setup indeed. I keep meaning to at least grab my portable antennas to put in my trailblazer so I can have them with my go-kit, which currently consists of a handful of HT's, a new IC-2200H and my FT-817 (I don't yet have the UT118 installed in the IC-2200, so it's currently analog only).

i see what you are saying my gm300 in buried in the rear of the car on a single freq, i see you would have total flexability with your way of doing it, i only needed to relay vhf to a uhf ht.

whenever you get the chance get the UT118 so you can join us on the KB3WNO-B Dstar repeater in Greenville, PA. |

I think the IC-2200H will be going in the S-10 to replace the aging Alinco DR-130, though I will put the UT-118 in it anyway. I'm probably going to go with either an IC-2820 or an ID-880 in the Trailblazer, since I'm putting up a 70 cm D-Star Repeater here. |
