[QUOTE="OriginalToken, post: 1271100, member: 27465"] The left antenna is a Diamond NR770 dual band 2m/70cm, the center antenna is a Diamond M685 6m, the right antenna is, as you have IDed, a Comet CA-2x4SR. I use the Comet as a scanner antenna (Uniden BCD536HP with GPS). Not installed yet at the time of those pictures is a Tarheel 75A for HF. The Tarheel is not on the light bar, but on a separate mount. I wanted to use one of the other Tarheels, like the 200 or 300, but with those antennas the coil was just too long for how I wanted to mount it all up. The radio used in this particular case, still not sure this is going to be the final solution though, is a Kenwood TS-2000 with an RC-2000 remote head. The TS2k is under the back seat and the remote head is in the sunglass holder of the overhead. The antenna drive control is mounted in the slideaway box at the front of the shift console. The Uniden scanner is mounted inside the center console, as is the microphone for the TS2k. What this all means is that inside the truck you do not see any radio gear until you open the areas the gear is mounted in. This is not for "stealth", as the antennas are very obvious on the outside, rather this is just that I don't want to see it unless I want to turn it on. So it all gives me 80 to 6 meters (the Tarheel 75A does not do 160), 2 meters, and 70 cm, all mode for all those bands. I also have a Kenwood TS2000x with 1.2 GHz (in another vehicle right now, can be shifted to this easily) that I can put in there if I decide I need 1.2 GHz in the truck. I have a pair of 6m and 2m horizontal loops behind the back seat that can be mounted in minutes if I want them. I have a segmented mast strapped to the Builtright side rack system, and some rolled up fan dipoles if I feel the need to throw up better antennas when I am out and about. And the Uniden scanner with GPS gives me location based scanning, so the radio will automatically load and activate new, local, frequencies as I travel. 73 T! [/QUOTE]
