Couple of questions
1. Can somebody put up a photo of where they went through the fire wall in an MN? Ive already been up the drivers side and through the grommet in the wing route for the spotties, and that aint fun!
2. Can somebody put up a photo of how they connected to the power from the cigarette lighter? Do you have any noise issues from doing this?
3, Does anybody bother doing a SWR check anymore, or are pre-tuned cables and antennas the go.
4. Quess what I'm doing this Christmas
On mine it's a bit busy on the right hand side so I went through the big grommet that comes out behind the glovebox. A little difficult but not that hard really.
I've run power direct from the accessory circuit on the fuse box. Nice clean. plentiful supply.
SWR isn't really necessary for UHF. The antennas are pre-tuned and not as finicky as 27MHz.
If I said you intending to instal a CB do I get a prize?
