Well, but when you say the voltage drop is there, its not there to the vehicle. When most people say to use a relay because they diode isolator causes a voltage drop they make it sound like your battery and therefore vehicle get less voltage when they don't. Your vehicle and battery get the...

Ok, I didn't word it very well. The stock Gm alternator gets its reference from the battery but putting an isolator between the alternator and battery it looses that reference, you could say that the diode blocks the alternator from reading that voltage. So the isolator eliminates that stock...

If your running a newer GM vehicle (and I think toyota copied this now as well) you have to run an extra wire from one battery back to the sense wire on the alternator. The alternator then regulates the voltage based on this sense wire which is past the diode in the isolator so it compensates...

There are a lot of ground points already http://www.gmupfitter.com/publicat/2004_BB/2003_Beyond_LD_Electric_CK.pdf I think I counted over 25. You could do some tie in to the factory ones.

I wanted something a little smaller but didn't want to with one of the little cheap toys. I finally settled on a Cobra 25, its about 1" narrower than a cobra 29.

The other Idea I was toying with was a repeater, which is kind of going over the legal line, but this will be out in the middle of a big farm. My hand held can't reach back to the base at the house but the one in the truck can. So my idea was to transmit on the lower 40 from the hand held to...

This would mostly be hand held to vehicle or hand held to hand held so there wouldn't be much range to interfere with anyone else's comm's.

Where can I find more radios that can have extra channels? I have a used Midland 75-820 which had a 120 channel mod done to it before I got it, but I though those may com in handy if I wanted to converse with someone else a little more privately if I could find other radios that can be set for...
