I have a Uniden 536hp and a Yaesu FT-8800R installed in my truck. I am not that good with fabrication of mounts and such so I had a shop do the install for these. I have an access cab truck. I removed the rear fold down seats and center console for more space. I kept the bracket for the console and mounted the 8800 to that. As for antenna's I felt I did not have enough roof space to keep them far enough apart without damaging the scanner when transmitting on the Yaesu. I bought a headache rack called the "Backrack." I have a nmo mounted dual band antenna for the Yaesu and a Larsen nmo mounted 1/4 wave 2m antenna for the scanner.
The antenna's are approx. 30 in. apart. For the gurus, do you feel that is far enough apart or do I need to go further?
I almost forgot, no I do not miss having the cup holders.
