Posts Tagged ‘Mobile’

Out and about Trying out the 40M top section on the Hustler mobile antenna. Watch it Working well into Ireland and later into Europe using a Yaesu FT-100. The Vehicle is a Toyota Rav 4 (last of the old shape). Camera Work by Louise M3TLL

www.kcomm.biz Here are some pictures on an Icom IC-7000 that was recently installed in a Toyota Avalon.. The head was remoted on the dash using a Yaesu MMB-62 mobile mounting bracket..The radio was set under the front passenger seat..We used a Jetstream JPST10 for an external speaker..The speaker was mounted in front of the passenger front seat.. The antennas were Workman mono band sticks..The support for the antennas is a Tram NMO trunk lid mount, which used a NMO to 3 adapter.. The system was checked out & everything worked fine..The customer was happy.. Thanks for viewing..73, Mel WA5UTK

Purpose: how I installed my radios in my Toyota FJ Cruiser. I hope this helps you install your radios...I am not a technical expert, just an ham operator since 1978. Mobile ham radio is a lot of fun and essential for emergency ops and for some, the only way to conduct ham radio due to antenna restrictions. I have used all types of antennas including several expensive brands of screwdriver antennas. I settled on the $30 hamsticks since they perform just as well on 10-20m, they are easy to install and tune, and if you hit a tree, they are cheap to replace. I've had the best luck by parking next to salt water...awesome ground plane. I have lots of ground straps throughout the vehicle to mitigate engine noise. However, you can't completely eliminate it. Power line noise from electrical lines along highways are sometimes 59+. The best way to get around that is to go out into the middle of nowhere to conduct your ops. I enjoy 4-wheel driving to a remote area in the mountains for great views and ham radio performance. The noise is 0 there and the performance is outstanding. I also like the 480 since it is easy to use and has a built-in auto tuner that works well to refine your hamsticks. Have fun and 73, Ned N4LS

I was absolutely amazed how well a short whip antenna and QRP/5 watts work on 6m But the best part is working 6m from my bicycle! It's a real thrill to have stations come back to you and be able to tell 'em your QRP Icom 703 and to boot your on a bicycle (albeit at rest) using a Buddipole whip on your handlebars! How cool is that?

www.kcomm.biz This video shows how to install a NMO type antenna mount..It was mounted on a 2009 Ford F-150 pickup truck at Kcomm the ham radio store in San Antonio, Tx..I aquired my brother Tim KE5CFZ to help me.. The NMO mount requires a 3 hole which was drilled thru the roof just in front of the cargo light assembly..The coax was then run under the headliner, down under the inside trim, then under the kick panel to behind the drivers seat.. The coax was cut to length, pl-259 was soldered ...
