Hello,

Here are some pix of the mobile setup. Using a panavise for the base and cellphone holder for the HH's. There is a cellular magnet mount antenna on roof.

Looks good, Dave!! How does that Wilson work for you??

 

[h8tdigitalradio]

How does that Wilson work for you?

FANTASTIC! No ISSUES! My primary monitoring interest is 800 MHz, but the Wilson does a fantastic job on UHF and VHF Low and High, something I did not expect. I would like a NMO mount but since I won't keep the truck much longer, I will settle for a magmount.

Hello,

It's the RadioShack 20-283 800 MHz Antenna. Yes, it is far superior than the stock antenna. But what works better than the RadioShack 20-283 is the Wilson Cellular Antenna. I use a FME to SMA Adapter on the BCD396T when I am not using BC785D.

Hey Dave,
I think its time for you to take off the original screen protection now It looks great!
Where did you get the back antenna mount?
Take care

LOL!

Where did you get the back antenna mount?

At HRO. Its the Diamond K412CNMO Hatch/Trunk/Hood Mount. It will handle NMO antennae up to 45".

How well does your gps unit perform in that spot? I have the same model and found that I had to keep it on the dash, otherwise I never really get a good signal.

How well does your gps unit perform in that spot?

No Issues. Accurate to 15 feet. I just test drove it today after installing Ram-Mount, down Rt 1, and I-95 North and South. The GPS is attached to a Panavise Indash No Holes Drilled VS Mount and Cell Phone Holder.

I was going to order the Windshield Mount from Garmin, but since there was no problem with present position of GPS, I will hold off for now. Now, I have to see if a passenger would interfere with the GPS.

Thanks for the kind words folks.

Get a PDA screen protector on that screen

I have one on my 330T and I have no issues with scratches

Dave, What did you use to convert the wilson to an NMO mount??

Nothing. You can buy the DB819 in a NMO Mount for $25.00.

Get a PDA screen protector on that screen

Yeah, I know.

I have one on my 330T and I have no issues with scratches

Well, I happened to use my last PDA Screen protector on my BR330T. When I have some time I will pick some up.

Have you heard any info on the Wilson Y881 super gainer antenna? It's a rubber duckie thin version.

Your RAM mount looks very nice. What RAM part number did you use?
