Morning all.
I am going to buy the 990xt because it is far easier to use as a mobile mounted receiver then my HP1 is. Man I have tried just about every mount designed for big trucks which are not permanent mounted mounts (not allowed to drill holes). The last mount failed a few days ago; causing the radio, power supply, and GPS to all come crashing down damaging the GPS interface cable in the process. While I know the HP1 is one of a receiver, I just don't think it is real condusive for mobile mounting in the big trucks. I drive a KW660 with limited dash space so it needed to be set up as to not block my sight. Not a whole lot places to do that.
Bungie cords are wonderful things. With just two, I was able to mount my 990t underneath my CB from the overhead. The HP1 just isn't the right shape for that.
Any suggestions would be appreciated but I think it's just time to go back to what works. Those of us who are drivers and hams and/or scanner buffs have always needed to develop unique solutions to both accommodate our hobby and our truck owner's policies in regard to mounted personal equipment. I am definatly out of ideas now.
