Mobile Ham Setup Planning (2M/70cm)

[streetglideok]

Depends if I take the job offer I received yesterday or not. If I do, I'll be off weekends for a change, and can start doing stuff like sane people. If I don't, there is a 25% chance I'll be off that weekend.

Are there any shops in or around the Springs?
I need to try and get a 2m antenna for my car so I can set up my ICOM 2100

[streetglideok]

Not that I'm aware of. There may be a shop that does commercial comms in the area. Typically you have to go to little kalifornia(Denver) to HRO, or order online from them. Plus side, usually next day delivery.

I'll have to check their site out,and see what their hours are.I might be better off ordering though if their closed weekends.

Thank you.
I might stop there on one of my Saturdays off.

You should. South side of the road in a strip mall. Cant miss the antenna sticking up in the air.

Not bad, I'm a little envious of the 710. You're all set for APRS. If the job situation hadn't turned political and dramatic as it had this last couple of weeks, I had planned on picking up a v71a.

Thanks!

Instead of going under the carpet, I am going to get some of these SafCord covers.


They work well at work in our conference room with a lot of traffic, so I figure they will work well to run to the back seat where the radio is going.

We want to see pics of the install!
