Nice looking install. I love to see properly mounted antennas. Thanks for sharing.

Nice looking install, May I ask how well the
800 Mhz. antenna's work for you? I hope to
work you on the air waves some day.

They work great. Minnesota has a statewide 800mhz trunk system so coverage is pretty good. I also use a multi-coupler to boost signal and protect the receiver. I had 2 scanners in the last truck so worked well.

Well done. Two thumbs up! Have fun.

Very nice.

I like the setup. You can easily find 90 Degree Ethernet cables around the internet (or amazon).

Love Panavise mounts…I have two (only one is currently installed) in my 2013 Sierra. I run them straight for HHCHs.

I've got a friend with a 2015 Explorer…I'll have to show him this thread.

A fellow Minnesotan with a nice setup!. We do things right up here in the tundra.

Can you show a picture of the multicoupler and how it is hooked up, please?

There you go, that would look really good on the scanner head. Same BTW for Kenwood 710 heads.

I have a 2015 Explorer, what type of microphone mount is that. I have mine in a similar location but I'm having to use an adhesive one and I can't find a clip that works quite like I want.

Your antenna location is about the same as mine.

how you like the 5100? Thinking about getting one

Nice setup
Where did you get the mount that allows you to mount the control head on top of each other?

I agree, that looks pretty slick. He talks about it in the first post and explains what makes it up (if you're like me, the pictures probably got your attention first and you overlooked the text).

Very impressive

Sorry for the late post, attached is photo of the multicoupler for the scanner and I have since added DMR radio Moto XPR 4550. Using Panavise pedestal and extension brackets.
