2004 Checy Tahoe Z71

[SLWilson]

Hello All, below is my 2004 Chevy Tahoe Z71. I have two mobile radios installed. One is a VHF Motorola Maratrac 99 chanel model. It will accept our local ham 2 meter frequency (147.06+). I use the mobile in my job as 911 Director for the county. The other is a Motorola CDM1250 UHF mobile. It WON'T accept anything "out of band" as far as out UHF ham freq. Both units have remote mount control heads. I have the heads mounted as shown with the "trunk units" mounted under the rear passenger seats. I use a Larsen "on the glass" antenna for the UHF unit. I have a fender mounted NMO mount for the VHF unit. Shown is the 1/4 wave antenna, but, I also have a 5/8 wave loded antenna that I occassionally put on too. The VHF is mounted on the driver's side of the truck...Steve/KB8FAR

Looks good, but I would put some split loom on those wires.

The loom isn't really necessary. Everything is HIDDEN when the seats are in place.....Steve

I think he was just implying that loom would hide the wires giving the presentation more appeal, but hey as long as everything works great job!

Loom

He He He....I know....I guess I'll dig some out of the closet & straighten it out.....But, HOPEFULLY, no one but me is "checking" under the seats !!!! He He He !!!!
