Here is a pic of my so-so install using Lido 400EXP window mount. Speaker is under the seat.

I think that's really nice. The only way I would ever mount a portable in a car.
Nice job!

My Pro-96 is pretty sensitive. I have to watch what I say around it or it starts crying...n4yek said:
:lol:
My BCT-15 does the same thing - even sometimes I could even think it might be "waa waaaing" just a bit.kd6ecz said:
But anyway back to the thread I like that install - nice to view instead of having to look down or whatever.
I like the install too.. Matter a fact, I just ordered that mount last night after seeing yours.

I ordered it from Amateur Electronic Supply, Cost $20. It called Lido mount and the model is LM400EXProots said:

I don't have any pics of my antenna, it is just a 6 inch stinger in an NMO body mount.

Mine came in yesterday. I placed it where it's partially in front of my AC vent. That ought to help a lot, I think... When parked, I remove it unless in the garage. Texas Summer's (and late Spring) are brutal on anything in direct sunlight. UghSAR2401 said:

One thing you may want to consider, when you remove it you should give the windshield a wipe with water and a paper towel. The suction cup will leave a ring. There have been many thefts of GPS's from cars and the majority of those are from people who have the suction cup mount. Even though the people remove them and store it in the trunk or glove box, it gets stolen, because the thief spots the ring left on the windshield by the suction cup. But I like this set up for one reason, you don't take your eyes off the road when you make an adjustment. That's one of my pet peeves about people mounting radios on the side of a console or between the seats,you take your eyes off the road. High on the dash or in the dash is the best place for any radio.
