ham radio

Does anyone have pictures of where they've mounted a ham radio in the 2016+ LX 570? I have a Yaseu FTM-400 but can't figure out a satisfactory place to put the display / control unit, as in general the dash on the LX 570 is kind of cluttered.

well, I bit the bullet and bought....not just one...but two baofeng uv 5r radios (ham version). Reason: intraclub comms, and because ana goes on these long distance mountain hikes and need some way to communicate (thus qty = 2). We do have the inreach (for big time emergencies) and a couple of...

Hi All, I wanted to quickly touch base with the group and explain a few things about GMRS radio use. I noticed in the Blue Lake email yesterday that the club is using channel 7 as the GMRS channel. Instead of channel 7, the club should use a channel between 15-22. The reason is that GMRS...

Hi folks, noobie here... Long story short I brought my 100 back to Canada after my year of touring around Australia.. I had an Australian CB radio which was pre-tuned to its 40 (or maybe 80?) UHF channels. In Canada, however, people mostly use VHF so I always have difficulty asking others to...

Not having ARB boxes in the back quite yet, I had to find another spot to mount my Yaesu FT-8900. It's not a big radio. And under the driver's seat, and inboard of the computer I found a nicely sized cavity. The radio slotted in there perfectly. I threaded the separation cable up through the a...

Actually, I bought John's Still looking great these years later. Now I'm trying to find the cleanest way to mount a ham radio. Will either install a Yaesu ft-8900 or FT-857 Does anyone know the best solution for an antenna mount? I've seen the fender/hood monunts from Gamiviti, but I'd...

With push form my local cruiser club I finally got my HAM license last weekend. I really have done very little research on radios, but a few guys recommended this as a good, reliable, affordable, tough option. Kenwood TM-281A https://www.hamradio.com/detail.cfm?pid=H0-011362 This looks like a...

As part of a HAM radio Net Control meeting on Tuesday, one of the QST topics was the passage of AZ House Bill 2318, signed into law by governor Doug Ducey on Monday, Apr22 specific to Text Messaging while operating a vehicle on Arizona roadways. This has some implications for mobile...

I'm looking for the best coax for a Kenwood TM-D710GA radio for a 3/4 NMO fender mount. A coax cable that comes pre-attached like the one below (sans fender mount, got that already via @nakman / Gamiviti). Based on what I've researched, since it will be a short run (the base unit will be...

There is probably a thread already out there, but as a follow up to saying I would post some HAM resources, here we go. For those at the meeting interested in getting your Technicians's Certification, and we should all have it if we are transmitting on anything other than CB, here are the...
