Default FT-7900R


Just pulled the trigger on a FT-7900R for the Jeep from HRO, almost with the FTM-10R but I had 7800R a while back and are more familiar with it......I used a Lido cup holder mount for the 7800R and will probably stay with that setup..

for your veiwing pleasure a poser shot of said Jeep.....

Can we see a picture of the Lido mount with the radio and a picture of how you mounted the antenna?

Lido cup holder mount..



Veiw from the back seat looking forward..



The chassis is mounted under the passenger seat..I run low power most of the time so heat shouldn't be an issue..

Nice setup. You have a great looking Jeep. I also like the accessory between the driver seat and the console.
