Yeah, Antenna farm does the mod for $35.

Thanks a lot for taking the time to write such an insightful post. I have been thinking about quality vs cost, which is why I haven't committed to the TYT. I've always liked to spend a little more to get a good product, so I've been looking more closely at the ICOM and Kenwood radios. Luckily my...

Thanks for the insight. I really appreciate it. I'm mulling over my options at the moment. At least now I have a good idea of what direction I want to go.

Kmandoske, email sent to your Comcast.Net address. Thanks for the help!

Thanks for the response Keith. I'll be in contact with you soon via email most likely.

Not at all. The noise I hear doesn't happen at idle either. Thanks for the vid though.

So assuming I get the TYT 9800 (Hopefully LVJmotorsports will be helping me with that) I'm thinking the following equipment for the antenna after taking everyone's inputs. Antenna: http://www.theantennafarm.com/catalog/pctel-maxrad-mwb1320s-773.html NMO mount...

Rog. Makes sense.

You saying get one with a spring in case the antenna hits something?

Now the price difference makes more sense. If a mag mount could potentially get knocked off, I wonder if a lip or tab mount on one of my bed rails would work better. That's why I linked that lip mount in my first post.

I'm pretty much sold on that TYT model. Now I'm thinking about how permanent I want the install to be. The radio will probably stay in the truck since it'll be wired to the battery, but I'm not sure if I should go mag mount on the antenna, or commit to something more permanent. I'm kind of...

Yeah, I noticed that. The pre-programming would be nice. Here's the link to what I was looking at: lvj-motorsports Amazon has the radio by itself at about $220 right now, but that's the radio on its own. No extras. I'll definitely be looking into it.

Ok cool. I was looking at his website last night. That TYT is more expensive on his site then on Amazon, but from the pictures he may be including some additional hardware which accounts for the added cost.

PCI? Not familiar with them. You bring up something I've been going back and fourth with though, which is how permanent do I want it to do be. I would only use it during runs, so I'm kind of leaning towards having it be easily removable like you're talking about. Edit: Found PCI after a quick...
