Here is a recent install I just did on my vehicle. The antennas are all done and the radios are almost done. Shown are two motorola A9 control heads; one goes to a VHF mid power spectra, other to a Syntor X9000 lowband 64-channel loaded with 10-meter, six meter, NCSHP and THP (receive only) and other states like MO HP and OK HP that roll in during skip (again all PS freq's are receive only. Scanner is a RS Pro-2051. I also have, but not shown is a Yaesu FT-857D that I use for mobile HF and UHF. I have the X9000 power backed down to about 80 watts. I am still trying to find a new place for the control head on the 857D......it was were the X9000 head was. The X9000 has some amazing receive....down to .20uv on my servicemonitor....across the band.I may add a diplexor and split the signal to 2 antennas, but for now I carry a ten meter antenna and swap (X9000 antenna is an NMO-50) when the band is open. The antennas are all larsen and the mobile HF is a generic version of the outbacker. It does really good on 6-20 meters. All I have to do is change the tap. On 40 I get a small spectrum between about 7150 and 7250......anything else and I have to adjust the whip. I usually stay on 20m so I am not out adjusting. I heard a guy booming in from Greenland yesterday.....never heard Greenland before.
