yea i was wanting to use the nmo mount. i have a 102 whip for 11 meters. thanks for the info. i would like to get as close or better range as the old 102's range.

thanks for the tip. i was planing on only using as much as needed to make the trip. then when out of simplex range switch to the repeters. i tend to only key short keys. im not a long winded person. i just key then listen then key aging and so on .... thanks for the info.... 73's to all

i think i will try the Model CG-144. sounds great... i will let you know how it turns out. thanks for the help...

i am even concidering making my own dipole antenna for it. depends on money:lol:

ok thanks for the info.. and i will let you know how well it works and how i like it.

but my main concern was does it work problem free.... not freez up like my ht i had.. is it dependable???

ok thanks. yea i know there is a lot of varerabls. i was trying to ballpark the range. for mobil i was thinking of using a Hustler Model CG-144. roof mounted. as for a base im not sure yet on what antenna to use. maby Hy-Gain's VB214FM 2m BEAM 14 ELEMENT beam. but not sure yet

i orderd a ft-2900 rig. it should be here in about 3 days or so. anyone used this radio before? hope i picked a good one. i plan on using the repeters and also simplex. any idea what the expected range would be in a mobil using simplex? i had a ft-270 ht but it froze up on me:oops:. so i...

ok i will.... thanks for the info...

well i was going to try and stay away from mag mounts. thinking about hard mount (drilling a hole in rooftop), or bracket mounting. it will be going in a 1988 chevy fullsize van
