Question about Ham Radio

Happy new years guys! 73

 

Interesting....I ran a 102 on my truck for awhile....yes I did hit the bank canopy, yes I hit the Mc Donalds drive thru canopy....didn't do any damage. Never have hit any stop lights with it though. Have whacked a few tree branches but it didn't hurt anything.

 

yepe, it was fun while it lasted but it got me in to trouble. lol.

 

Anyone have any helpful ideas on how and what kind of 2m antenna to put on a Volvo 780...I want to run 2m and APRS with a Kenwood D-700...

I run a Larson NMO2/70 on a NMO mirror mount and it has held up well and works great

 

this message is for roadboy ve9fc. the best mobile antenna available is the Hiq antenna . there are several other brands, but none compare to the hiq antenna .
try www.hiqantennas.com, i have the hiq 5/160 , that just means its a 5 inch coil and it does all bands including 160 meters. but the 4/80 also works well, if your not intersted in the 160 band. also check out the hiq antenna reviews on eham.com

Diamond and Comet make some of the best. Also Jetstream which is made by Diamond are really great at half the price. I run one and can hit repeaters 90-100 miles away.

 

Agree Jetstream makes a good low priced antenna

 

Diamond does not make Jetstream, they are both built by the same company at the same factory but packaged with different brand names.
