I'm having a really bizarre problem with my tmv71a that I have never seen before. I have the radio setup for cross band repeat. 2m on side A, 440 on side B. The PTT icon normally flashes on the A side. Whenever the radio is receiving on the A side, the PTT icon switches to the B side, and there...

After a few mag mounts and lip mounts, I'm done with temporary-ish mounts. Nothing beats the performance of just drilling the hole. I think drilling actually does the least damage to the vehicle. True NMOs are water-sealed without an antenna, and caps make the mounts less ugly. Granted...

Why 2 vhf/UHF radios? I had the ft7800 in my past few vehicles, and its does great. The Kenwood spent the first few years of its life in a hardly used go box. When I got the Forester, I was looking for mounting locations, and I identified 2 good ones. As I was gathering tools and parts to...

My 2001 Grand Marquis was getting a bit...rusted, to put it lightly. So I replaced it with a brand spanking new 2015 Forester last April. Got rear ended in June, but that's another story. ANYWAYS, What's the best thing to do to a new car? Drill some holes, of course! Let's start with...

That is some really clean wiring. Good Job.

It's definitely the power supply. I unplugged the camera, but left the power supply plugged in, and still had the noise.

I finally managed to track down what was causing terrible receive in my mobile installation: It's the power supply for my dash cam (this one: http://www.amazon.com/Hard-Wire-Micro-Compatible-Mini/dp/B00U7BV8DK/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1452979992&sr=8-4&keywords=dash+cam+hardwire+kit ). When the...

Nice an clean. How hard was it to drop the headliner to get the roof mount in?

I bought one of those, planning on mounting the antenna that way. However, there's not enough flat metal to mount an angle bracket. I don't mind drilling holes. I just want to make sure I'm not considering something when drilling into the hood.

I'm trying to figure out to install my Larsen 2/70 on my 2015 Subaru Forester. I need to be able to get my car into the garage, so roof mounting it is out of the question. I was thinking of a lip mount on the hood, but there's no good place that can take a lip mount. There aren't any good...

Thanks. I had a mag mount on my dad's car cor a while, and while it worked fine, it left some nice, nasty scratches all over the paint. I also had a lip mount, ant it damaged the lip as well. So as far as being the least damaging to the metal, I think drilling is the way to go. Other...

Thanks. Definitely not going to use the stepper bit again. WAY too many metal shavings going everywhere. I think next time I'll just pony up the $50 for the Larsen NMO hole saw.

Mainly because I couldn't figure out how to get the lower half of the dash out. And it actually sounds just fine in the glove box. Far better than under the seat where I had it in my last installation. Do you have any pictures of where you mount the speakers?

Yup. 30 amp fuse 3" away from the battery.

So I bought my first car (yes, I'm one of those young whipper snappers), and what's the first thing I do to it? Of course, drill some holes. So as long as I'm drilling one hole for the 2m/440 antenna, might as well, drill another and cap it. There might be another VHF/UHF rig in my future, or...
