Good deal! I'm sure you'll knock it out on the next go. Looking forward to getting into the 857D and may do as you (back and forth). Congratulations!

Congrats on the pass Jacob!:thumbup1: It's a great feeling.

Yep. Waiting to see what I get, then may apply for a vanity (1x3). Decisions, decisions...(which letter K,W or N, the number 4, followed by which letters???). :confused:

:laugh: Thanks. Yeah, she let me buy my first rig (Yaesu 857D for mobil). Gonna get my feet wet with this and get comfortable then comes the Base. :thumbup:

I liked the Antenna Farm's website, seemed like a good small American "Mom and Pop" company. They've received my many emails, because I get the standard "we've received your email and will reply shortly" replies back. I'll try calling them Monday and first make sure everything is ok with "Mom...

Thanks! Feeling kind of like a 16 yr old that has just been handed the keys. There's a whole big world out there to explore.

and passed them both! Now to get my mobil rig setup and ready myself for the Extra next month.

The Antenna Farm :: , Your Two Way Radio Source! I've gotta tell 'ya, with customer service like I received from the Wireman, they will be getting all my business from now on. :thumbup:

Has anyone had experience with either or both of these companies? I placed an online order with the Antenna Farm first for coax, they charged my credit card immediately and after 5 days still has not shipped, nor will they answer any of my emails. I placed the same order with the Wireman...

:laugh:

Thank You HH! I've been looking for something like this. While I do believe the K400 would work fine, I much prefer to use the existing hole I have in the trunk lid (even if it needs enlarging/reinforcing). I didn't much care for the Diamond RG 316 coax. This will allow me to use something...

What coax are you running with it?

Question...for a mobil install, is the Diamond K400C mount what I want for this antenna and what coax? I see it comes with 6.5' of RG316 Teflon coax. Any other mounts/coax suggestions? I will probably mount the radio up front, thus requiring more than 6.5' of coax. I already have a hole...

Add the MH-59A8J. Will do.:thumbup1: Thanks guys!

True. Thanks Robb.

Here's my preliminary mobil Rig setup... Yaesu 857D Yaesu ATA-120a Diamond K400 mount Inrad 720 2000hz SSB filter Inrad 712 300hz CW filter Mic? Stock mic, or stock mic with the w4rt OBP mod, or a MH-36E8J/MH-59A8J mic??? TCXO-9 install? Anything else to add to this setup...

Thanks Hutch!

Thanks everyone for your wealth of information! I'll shop around, compare package prices (as budget is tight) and digest the information received here. All I know now is that it is between the IC-7000 and the 857D/897D.:confused1: Thanks again for your help. Now back to studying for the...

Hutch, I'm looking real hard at this rig as a mobil. What antenna are you using with the IC-7000? Thanks!

It's going in a 2005 Mercedes C230. Currently been running an RCI 2970N2 on a pedestal mount with a Wilson 5000 mounted on the center of the trunk lid (hole drilled and grounded). Yeah, this is a tough call. I'm going with the mobil "all mode" radio setup first since I do a lot of driving...
