Decided to go into the HAM trade as there seems to be a bit of a gap, especially in antennas, coax and connectors. Seeing that i keep it commercially i thought it would be a good idea to offer it to HAM's at a discounted rate, along with installation services etc.
See how it goes!

Re: Mobile setup
Good news Danny (and congrats on the full call as well)
Have a good holiday and hope you get some good signals from ZL!
As is Zebedee's, especially around the screw holes if I remember... possibly the screws are low grade stainless. I guess the clones are a good idea if you have a habit of running them into trees or garages.VK6ZMS wrote:Hello from Denmark.

Re: Mobile setup
Just a guess. I seem to remember you commenting on the cost of the license registrations between the QFRB and BFS plates.
Nope, but happy to come help if no one else has.

Hi Fastlane, Done plenty of installs in VE commodores when they were the current QLD Police vehicles.
What are you trying to install?

That depends on what I end up buying. Currently eyeing off a FT-8900R plus as-yet-unknown antenna, with the catch of trying not to drill anything if I absolutely don't have to (perhaps with the exception of mounting the radio body).VK6ZUK wrote:Hi Fastlane, Done plenty of installs in VE commodores when they were the current QLD Police vehicles.

(oh and before anyone says, I know you can't transmit on 6m with an f-call!).

S'alright - Tyranus and I both have 6m-capable radios too. They leave the 6m part of the manual out till you upgrade your licenseFastlane wrote: (oh and before anyone says, I know you can't transmit on 6m with an f-call!).

Re: Mobile setup
Nah its a IC-7000 up top. An IC-6063 IDAS Commercial under the stereo and a Simoco SRM9030 on the left.
Fastlane,
Have a look at the IC-7000 and the iphone, they on a bracket by holdmyphone. I genreally keep them in stock but only for newer commodores. I get them in overnight though.
For mobile i used to have the FT-7800, nice mobile dual bander for starting out! Its in the shack now.

Re: Mobile setup
I looked at that one for a while, but I decided against it because I want SSB on all the bands it does, so it would just be doubling up. Looks spiffy though.Fastlane wrote:Currently eyeing off a FT-8900R plus as-yet-unknown antenna, with the catch of trying not to drill anything if I absolutely don't have to (perhaps with the exception of mounting the radio body).
