I just realized this forum was here after I posted int he 80 tech section. I think it could be either place really.

Anyway, here is my Ham radio install thread...

Nice job. How do you like your 710? I love mine, and just got my APRS up and running - makes road trips so much more interesting.

you both have nice looking installs...

I've been running the TM-D710A for over a year. Having the APRS info on the screen is nice when traveling with others with APRS.

Here's a photo of my install TM-D710A and TS-480SAT

I like it a lot! I'm still a Ham newbie and don't have APRS going.

Wow, really nice. I am looking at doing simular with a Yaesu 8900. One question is can I monitor CB bands with this as most of my friends have CB's. I know about transmitting rules but to monitor would be great. let me know if you can help.

No; CB is AM and about 11M in wavelength, and the Yaesu 8900 (a nice radio BTW) is FM and doesn't cover CB anyway. You'll need to get a CB radio for trail runs with your unenlightened friends, or convert them to the superiority of amateur radio.

Thanks for the tip and the thumbs up on the 8900. My friends are slow learners.
Much appreciated.
