    W5DMT Mobile Setup

    Their are combiner circuits out there that kinda work. The long and short is, I could build the box for about $30 in parts and $5 for the enclosure, but it only does half the job. It will combine them, but it has loading issues that affect volume. So I decided to go with one that has the...

    W5DMT Mobile Setup

    I decided to go with just such a Combining box. Here's the one I've chosen: Fleet Radio Model 201B 4-Channel Combiner / Amplifier It's not the cheapest solution, but I think it'll once again, be the cleanest. One nice Motorola speaker mounted under the dash out of sight, and potentially, one...

    W5DMT Mobile Setup

    Good points. I'm actually thinking about moving the forward plate to the other end, and move everything up to put the 480 back in. I kind of want the ability to rest my arm on the arm rest and spin the nob. I did some visual inspection and I could actually flush mount the 480's head into the...

    W5DMT Mobile Setup

    I have a TS-480HX that was in there prior to the console.. The problem is, I'm never in the car more than running around town now.. I work out of my house. So, with that said, I have a contingency plan to just drop the 480's head over that top plate when I go on road trips.. Just mount a...

    Kenwood TS-480 HF Models questions?

    Own an HX myself. I have a 480HX myself. I have two 50 Amp power supplies here in the shack, so I just split it between the two of them, and then have all the VHF/UHF rigs (6 of them) powered by one power supply and the other HF rig (A 100W Icom IC-720A) powered off the other. Keeps...

    Coming soon from W2IHY - 3x3 Station Switch

    Julius is a great guy, and makes some great stuff. I have used his "original" mic eq box for a while. There is no doubt in my mind, that the new "Switch" will get added in too. Dave, W5DMT

    Yaesu FTM-350 Review

    GPS Actually, they sold me the wrong GPS unit and it is not installed yet. I plan to correct that tomorrow. I also play to use it for APRS, but also as an Altimeter. The barometer seems to work well. Might as well add the rest of it. I already have an APRS transponder in this vehicle...

    Yaesu FTM-350 Review

    I bought one this morning and installed it in my Tahoe this afternoon. So far, I'm really impressed by this. I haven't however, installed the GPS yet. I'll do that before I go to bed. Here is a picture though, of one side "Alpha'd"...
