[QUOTE="Dutch451, post: 913744, member: 18927"] I just picked up the Yaesu FT-8900R, external speaker, mic relocator and the Larsen KG2/70CXPL glass mount antenna. Since the 8900 comes with the separation kit, I'll hopefully have enough room to mount the face plate by the sunglass holder like [MENTION=7693]jlatigo[/MENTION] did, while hiding the main unit behind the rear seat. The external speaker should fit in the dash tray, and I'll run the mic jack by the steering wheel on the lower dash. I'm not sure how well the antenna will work, but my buddy has a spare Diamond CR8900 antenna he said I could have if I need more range. I hate drilling through the body, and don't want anything mounted on the roof, but came up with a good plan to use the bigger Diamond antenna. Hopefully the glass mount works fine though, I won't know for sure until I get everything, install it, and go out on some expeditions, lol. Unfortunately I still need to get my license. I'd be fine, but I let my FCC Operator license expire because I wasn't doing any comm work, but at least the tech/general license is cheap and easy to get, just waiting for my study guide to get here so I can get brushed up on everything, the next exam date isn't until Nov 7 anyway, so I have time :) [/QUOTE]
