Mounting a Ham and CB radio.
 

I take one look inside my jeep and say to myself, "hmm, not to many
options here for mounting radios -- especially two"

Any ideas guys/girls, maybe send some link to photos. For now I just
plan on laying it on the passenger floor.

Re: Mounting a Ham and CB radio.
 

What, do you need one thread for each radio or something?

I thought the first thread was progressing well. I find that when folks
start multiple threads on a subject, they get totally screwed up because
of conflicting advise crossing the threads in 'their' minds which
confuses the ---- out of them. The advise won't be conflicting in the
thread it was posted in, but take it in the context of the next
thread(s), it can be wrong or misleading or confusing.

Just my $0.02.

Lets start off eh?

So what flavor and year of Jeep? Makes a radical difference.

Go with your 2m radio of choice (I like the FT-1500M, mil spec, compact)
and a Cobra 75 WX ST. Not much there but the mic. I stuffed the 'box'
under the console in the TJ.

Re: Mounting a Ham and CB radio.
 

WHats your rig and how do you use it? Makes a heck of a difference. If you are apt
to do any high water crossings, you dont want anything under the seats or down on the
floor.

Also, what radio, that makes a difference too.

Personally, I use Yeasus handhelds and just clip them onto the ------er for the
softtop.
