In the second photo you can see my GME CB, My cb had the cables tied up and was sitting loose under the driver seat...yes my car does need a clean
This is where all my cables for amateur power, scanner and CB antenna's go through, the amateur antenna is going along a channel on the inside of the car.
Ok so I've mounted the CB bracket and the Yaesu bracket down into the carpet. the power cable for the Yaesu (closest to the door) goes outside through the grommet.
You can see in the next shot at the bottom of the plastic a kind of channel. I am utilising this for my coax cable...after I removed the rear seats from my car.
Ok so where I've pulled away the door seal you can see some ribbed conduit, I've laid the coax along this, then under the carpet and through the hole that the other cables are coming out of. You can also see where the CB remote head is mounted in front of the gear stick
I was having difficulty mounting my remote head bracket for the amateur set so removed the centre console...but forgot to take a photo till after. I've placed more power cable from the GME under the console to try and reduce the clutter under my chair.
Here is the remote head for both radio's mounted in the car.
As it stands...I have 2 power leads that need to be connected to the battery. I need to cut and terminate the other end of the coax to a UHF/VHF base and attach that to a L bracket at the back of my car and screw the antenna on. Test and make sure there are no problems with the antenna cabling! Also need to work out exactly where the microphone is going. I expect on the side of the centre console near where it is now.
Then it's just a matter of programming in the repeaters etc and getting on air!
