Thats the same setup I have.. Minus the preamp......I have not seen a need to use my tuner yet,running a 10-80/75 dipole and my 6m and 2m are seperate antanas ... sorry off topic....

Just orderd a OA-50 from Dale,he said he would get it out today....

I looked at that one also....it seems i can mount a omni about a foot below the CP-62 but then would have to deal with 2 coax cables so i decided just to go with the 62 for ssb and fm,my roof will be full hahaha..I'll post a pick when all is done.

Orderd a CP-62..................

Ok so after a long night of reading and other opinions I have decided to put up a vertical now knowing haveing a repeater close by isn't all that important for 6m ssb and FM simplex...... Thanks for those that responed to my post.....I now will decide what Vertical to get and hopefully reach...

A50-3S yagi would work right...... If there are no repeaters around me a vertical will not work right so it would need to be a OA-50 or a yagi right.....

OK here is a pick of my roof......The 2m is on the north side and i removed the Maldol and put the gray pipe with balun on that tripod....Cleaned up the roof abit so now my option is mounting a 3rd 3ft tripod between the two already there and either put a vertical on a 6ft pole with a loop...

I know its a hit and miss band and limited but i don't want a yagi(waitting for xyl to give the ok for a tower)so i have narrowed it down to the PAR OA-50 or the KU4NB SQ-50,i have a clear shot from s.e. to s.w over our lake and n.w. to n.e,i can get it on a mast on my roof so it would be about...

Nice............

Congrats.....

Iam happy with my Blue-Point Smart multimeter(MT454)......

I tried to mount the face under the vent but the shifter hit it when you put it in drive,looked way better under the vent but just wasn't going to work,no way,no how.

When I tighten the cable it runs down the dash trim line,looks way better but need to p/u some good 3m plastic nub style velcro and cut some little strips to hold it streight...stuffs awsome it holds my TM271A under the dash in my Buick,no screws,takes alot of pulling and a screwdriver to undo...

about mounted,need to get a dash mount set up for it and clean up the extention cable with velcro strips and pick a spot for the mic,had arm surgery yesterday and no sleep yet so I started installing it,need to figure out how to run the power from battery,might need to have a shop do it being...

A guy can never have too many TOYs hahaha.....
