Hi, I'm Biggles, I have an army truck (Chevy M1009) I'm wanting to start piecing together a communications setup for it, it was originally some manner of radio truck for military convoys. It has a place already on it for two antennas and a rack for a scanner/receiver/something behind the passenger seat, I don't have my HAM yet but I'm looking to get it eventually. My goal:
AM/FM antenna, something big and flexible like the military whip that was on it and a mech less receiver that does radio, IPOD
CB, I've got a couple CB's already, I've got a super cheap cobra, and one that was in the $200 range but I'd be looking for a new CB for thus truck as well, I have a magnet mount little Will antenna but I want to use something a lot better probably either bumper mounted or using the other military antenna mount.
Finally I'd like to get setup with some manner of scanner/receiver for longer range communications, I have no idea what though. Back in Jr. High I used to mess around with an old short wave radio, as I stated earlier I'm interested in getting my HAM License sometime, I'd like to be able to receive military and/or law enforcement transmissions? I don't know I'm new.
