This is how I distribute 12V up in the overhead console of a Kenworth T680 from 6-AWG. (BATT is almost 20’ away). A POWERWERX PD75. (Online, or at HRO). My current proposition (having discarded console steel as “the buss bar” as I was doing): — At present, NEG returns to the battery bank...

1). This, if ohm test indicates coax only? (These are sold as “Coax Lightning Arrestor” for those unfamiliar). What of amp? — Sorry if I’m stuck in baby steps mode as I’ve been on the highway for the last month. 2). Overall — all gear mentioned — all RF & DC to the same ground point(?) —...

For my own understanding, is it meant a separate amp power line versus one common to all components? .

HA, in diagram you provided we have, “BOARD GROUND needs to be BONDED to CASE GROUND”; how to achieve (or, verify) this? 1). More than running a bond to a case screw, correct? (Dumb Q out of the way; what specifics?) 2). For an amp, what specifics? (Like the OP, am using an RMI amp). — I need...

I wholly agree. Had I been asked I’d have said bed corner rear followed by bed side. IOW, what I’ve seen (on road and in pics). That said, I know that “convenience” rates highest for most men. Skews the data. The Antenna Mount Efficiency charts I’ve seen relate to 11M, and I’d assume (maybe a...

If y’all’s commute is at the same times, both can give Sideband a workout.

Found pics of any installs similar?

Fixed that fer ya. .

Thank you for the details! Best of luck going forward!

I think BREEDLOVE has a bed/front/center mount which would be worth considering. Sccoch the toolbox back a little (if the bigger brains are okay with next-to-cab on the lower portion). Frankly, nearly every screwdriver I’ve seen has been bedside or corner/rear.

The super-secret modifications are between the ears of the operator. .

Testosterone flows highest in the fall. Have you lately touched up your rig systems radio-active paint? Checked things over, and in some fashion altered your use? We may all be guilty of believing a new piece of gear has improved our rig. Maybe it did. But the use changed somewhat thru...

I wouldn’t be the only one who believes there’s more interest. Last year saw shortages or back orders. Hard to tell what’s real, and what’s contrived, though. Folls are still in a passive or reactive stage is my guess. Might get the gear installed, but aren’t really putting it through its...

IH-81 from east of Knoxville north to Winchester was busy on AM-19, and broken up by Skip thru the morning and early afternoon. I started near Rising Fawn, GA, not far south of Chattanooga, TN. While it’s a busy truck route, — almost exactly South to North — radio talk seemed more than usual on...

Auto Squelch ain’t worth much when mobile (at work). I doubt there’ll be a superior circuit to what is to be had at present for this to be true. An exception is at a remote job site where a truck wrangler and his remuda are trying to avoid collisions. Just need close/local. Call it a...

I’m flat iggernant when I get past CB. But if you start a thread on the subject I promise to read it. .

Lake Wales, FL briefly on AM-19 on TX/LA border.

Yeah, I need some more supply (mounts, etc) to be able make finished installs on pickup & travel trailer. Might squeeze in a couple of the cheap Baofengs. .

Had Everglades coming into North Texas on AN-19 a short while like he was a local base station.

Agreed if one takes that to: Squelch “problem” not a problem given the radios virtues. .
