So I'm thinking about making a scanner stand, similar to what Scanner Master sells for mobile scanners, but would have room to put a smallish 12v rechargeable gel cell battery the bottom for power (and weight to stabilize). I'm imagining something with a carry handle and rubbber feet (if metal).
I'd want it to hold an SDS200 and BC796D, on the inside and an SDS 100 , and maybe BCD396T (attached to the outside, to the right and left of the mobiles).
If anyone has any suggestions (or maybe has seen something designed that is similar) I'd appreciate the info.
Is there anything out there similar to the Spectrum Force Desk Mount stands? Those stands look well designed, I'm just not sure if I can make one work with a 12v battery in the bottom. I would also have to make/create a handle on top for transportation from room to room or house to car. Of course, I'd have to use rubber duck/back of set antennas, but 90% of what I'd want to monitor would be fine with smaller antennas. Of course, I've thought about doing an antenna multicoupler, but I want to keep it simple for now.
Would any of you that have the Spectrum Force stands mind posting a pic of how you set yours up?
My other option, is to skip the 12v battery and just use the wal-warts (or a 12v power supply, which I'd probably do initially), but that won't help when the power goes out in a storm.
Thanks for any info, tips and/or pics in advance!
