Re: Yaesu FT-8800R Install

Great install! I'm starting to gather information on radios and installations and I like the cleanliness of yours. How did you run the antenna wires? Did you drill a hole in the roof or did you feed it through or around the door sill? It's hard to see in the picture. Thanks in advance for the ...

Re: Yaesu FT-8800R Install

The speaker is not designed for 2-way radios. It is the mid speaker from their 7 speaker system. I understand that it is not a communications speaker but after testing it for a month prior to install, I found the sound/clarity to be good and accept the compromise in exchange for a clean install. A ...

Re: Yaesu FT-8800R Install

Very nice install. I really like the LR speaker mounted in the DS door panel. Is that speaker designed for 2-way radios, or is it a speaker used in the LR stereo system ? FYI, the Diamond mounts (and all antenna / 2-way radio equipment) are also available at Jun's Electronics, known on the web as ...

Re: Yaesu FT-8800R Install

that is super sweet! whats the name of the electric antenna device and how much was it? I really like that, I have to remove my antenna to fit in the garage, that thing would be awesome. It's the Diamond Antenna K9000 motorized mount. It plugs into a 12v socket. I hardwired it in. The mount is $110 ...

Yaesu FT-8800R Install

I posted this in the FJ forum, but thought I'd post here as well: Finally finished my 8800 install. I mounted the body of the radio under the driver's seat. The face plate is mounted on the center console http://www.fjcruiserforums.com/gallery/data/500/medium/IMG_2282_Medium_.jpg I used a Diamond ...

Ohhh, do I win something from the Snow Peak catalog. :D I've been eyeing a Micro Max stove, Two Way lantern, and Mini Solo Cook Set for day runs (in case of emergency I'll have cooking equipment to go along with the shelter I carry).

Re: Installed my HAM radio

Glad to see the radio performed well during your trip over the Mojave Trail... I have the same problem with reception of the net. I hope that soon a link can be arranged with a more northward repeater so that those of us in North Los Angeles county can listen to and participate on the nets... That ...
