Thanks guys, I would have never thought of it but West Marine Online was where I needed to go...I found everything I was looking for. Wonderful place for install parts.

F1118

Ok, well than 10 guage will work fine for what im doing....Im running about 12 feet from the battery to a power distribution panel....than running power to a 45 watt spectra, a 50 watt icom, a scanner, and self contained strobes. Sounds like even for a 110 watt spectra I would need to run another li...

I've tried to open a personal account with hutton and it asks for an account number...if you dont have an account how in the world do they expect you to come up with an account number before you even sign up. also i went to the local auto zone looking for power distribution blocks and they said they...

Off Topic Cake? I've never heard of them. Do you have an website or phone number I could call to see if they have the bucket seats?

F1118

Anyone know where I can get some leather bucket seats for a ford crv lx. year is 1999. I have 50/50 lumbar seats now and theres no room for a large console that goes between the seats.

Sorry to bother you again with this question alex ... (or anyone else who would be so kind to post the url) but what is the other radio message board that alex runs? The one with all the ham radio stuff? Im on a different PC and I cant seem to remember the url.

Thanks Guys...I have a better understanding of the regulations now.

F1118

so you can tune the antenna yourself? you said you used it on the 2 meter band but if it was designed for 150 mhz how did you tune it?

F1118

So does the vhf come in black also? And will these antennas work in the vhf and uhf ham band?

F1118

The Fire Dept in with got a letter about some sort of new fcc regulation pertaining to narrow band. can anyone give me some more info on this. the letter was an invitation to a meeting but didnt really go into any detail on what the new regulations are.

F1118

Could you post a link for the vhf phantom antenna please.

Thanks

Also anyone that has used a low profile for 144-148 2 meter ham band please post which model you had good luck with. I can't find anything thats for that band but if someone has used something that works please post.

THanks Again

Not sure about the PL Problem but I use one channel in my mt1000 as a pager with a two tone alert.

F1118

Is that in a Crown Vic?

F1118

3 cellular look a likes might look kinda strange on a car. Kinda defeating the purpose of the disguise. Really the low profile antennas would work ok but i'd rather have one that was invisable and a low profile and mabe a cellular look a like. Can't seem to find a vhf low profile antenna that will c...

F1118

rather than running two wires from the battery to a power distribution panel with a master on/off switch between the two. Than running all wires out of the box to the radios......could someone give me some info on relays...a good place for them to be located....what type of relay I need...exactly wh...

F1118

cant a civilian get a covert antenna ?

F1118

What exactly do you use the golf car for? . . . And do you happen to have any pictures of it? I bet it looks kinda cool.

F1118

Where can I get some low profile antennas that look like or close to the ones on http://www.comtelco.net/ .... I need black ones to match my car. Do they make dual band in this sytle? Also very important question....Will these screw right onto my 3/4 inch drill mounts?

F1118

I have a spectra a/4 b/4 c/4 style head....Will a Securenet Face Plate work with this radio for remoting mounting? The ebay seller sent me this number which is located on the face plate.

Thanks

F1118

that would be nice code3.....anyway . . .im going to buy a pigtail so hopefully that fixes my problem...I probably should buy an rg58 stripper and practice on the mini uhfs before my coax becomes shorter than the length of my arm.

F1118

I think my problem is more my lack of proper cable stripping tools rather than a damanged mini uhf socket in my radio because when I use the mini uhf alone it get a little bit of reception on the radio but when i use the adapter with a pl259 soldered on the end of the coax I get nothing at all. Just...

F1118

Well would it be wiser to go with something that has 8 outputs or buy one with 4 outputs fused...and another non fused for ground? By the way, whats up with the links on your site code3 . . . I can't get anything to work.

F1118

Can I use any Spectra Trunk Mount Kit for this radio? Also can I use any type of control head after I get the Trunk mount kit? Can i use an astro head? A3 HandHeld Head on an a4 spectra?

F1118

Anyone where I can get a fused power distribution block that has 2 inputs for pos and neg from the battery and eight outputs to run 4 radios off of...Something thats not going to cost me 60 bucks...I dont need a fancy digital block like ive seen...just something simple. I have a 60 amp fuse and fuse...

F1118

Can anyone give me a model number for a distribution box that has two inputs and eight outputs . . . . I want to run my neg and pos from the battery to the box and run 4 devices out of the box.

F1118

Im not sure what type of head I have on my spectra but its either an A/4, B/4, or C/4 Head judging my the picture in the Motorola Gallery on this site. My questions is .... What type of remote mount will work with this model? Also Is there a Mic that has everything on it like the astro spectra W3 Ha...

F1118

Well im running a M-spectra, an Icom2100H, a radio shack scanner, and a couple self contained stobe lights....looking to adding a 100w radio later.

F1118

Anyone have any pictures of Crown Vic Installs...Specifically a crown vic with a split bench seat, also very intersted in pics of how the wiring was done. Need ideas on where to run my wire and topics such as power distribution. Also type of wire used would be nice too.

Thanks For The Help

F1118

I have the maxrad cellular lookalike antenna (dual band) . . . Its on my icom2100h 2 meter and it seems to work fine...haven't tried it on 440 yet but vhf seems to be doing ok....I havent tested it with a meter either but it seems ok.

F1118

Will it hurt to leave my mt1000 on the charger with the radio on during night-time hours? Will it stay fully charged? Its the only radio I have that has tone squelch that I can use in the house so that I don't wake up unless my departments tone is set off....there are 11 fire departments that use th...

F1118

Dont you use larger wire for battery to box than you use for box to radio?

F1118

Look at some maxrad antennas...I like those, you can view them and all the specs at maxrad.com and you can purchase through a dealer such as http://www.randl.com

F1118

the problem is in not getting a good connection with the mini uhf alone and with a pl259 on a mini uhf adapter im not getting anything at all on my radio....the adapter was brand new from radio shack but it doesn't seem to be working...i know i have the pl259 soldered on the coax ok because when i p...

F1118

Just didnt get what I was wanting..I wasen't exactly sure what to use but they tried to tell me what would be best and I ended up with wiring for tail lights on a trailer. lol . . . part of it was me not knowing what I needed but they knew I was installing mobile radios.

F1118

What type of wire should i use for a battery to distribution box connection...and what type should I use for distribution box to radios?

Thanks

F1118

well i dont know what the problem is....i know theres a problem when my radio doesn't work though...lol

F1118

I had some problems attaching the Mini UHF connector to the coax on my spectra. I than used a solder PL-259 on the coax and a adapter to convert it to mini uhf. Im not getting anything on my radio with that adapter on it. when I take off the adapter and plug the pl259 into another radio it works fin...

F1118

Thats exactly what I have, an ICOM 2100H 2 Meter Radio. Now what exactly did you do?

F1118

Well I don't think Emergency Management can get this grant unless its a step towards the Indiana SAFE-T Project....Our users consist of Fire, EMS, and law enforcement. Not sure if other state government will be using it or not. Also County and State Hwy Dept are supposed to have access to the system.

F1118

Its not the departments, its the funding.

F1118

Theres not too many firefighters in our county or the other two surrounding ones that own portable radios...If you have one, you usually own it because most of the volunteer departments give you a base scanner or a motorola keynote for portable response...There are no departments around here that ke...

F1118

If I use a Stinger Power Distribution Box and run the positive to my battery and the negatitive to the trunk will that eliminate the noise in my 2 meter radio that is currently wired to the fuse box, ground is hooked to a bolt near the fuse box. I have an ICOM 2 Meter, Motorola Spectra, and a Scanne...

F1118

So what we are going to have here is a digital system correct? It looks like it will be compatible with the Hoosier Safe-T Project that will eventually connect every public saftey agency in the state. Can someone explain the Astro/Digital, Smart Zone, Smart Net, and Omni Link Software for me?

F1118

I'll go ahead and list a more specific spec sheet with the quotes on it. ***Mobile Response Package*** -W5 Spectra Astro Mobile - 1870.00 -Astro Digital Software Package - 425.00 -Smart Zone Software Package - 743.00 -Omni Link Software Package - 150.00 -Digital ID Display - 56.00 -3 DB Gain Antenna...
