This is K9DRX-14 !!! At the top, mounted on the dash is my Garmin eTrex Vista GPS which is wired into the Kenwood TM-D700A for APRS. I also use the D700A for crossband repeating when I am on foot or camping. The mobile APRS is outstanding on this rig because I can send & receive messages AND track stations on a map all without a computer on board! The radio is installed at the bottom of the center console.. In the middle is a Uniden BC780 Multi-System trunk tracker scanner. Programmed for the areas of Wisconsin and Upper Michigan that I frequently travel in. The BC780 uses a Comet M24B dual band magnet mount antenna. I trimmed the length to match 154/450/860 MHz for scanning. Great performer on the usually picky 800 MHz. The Kenwood currently has a Diamond Dual-Band fold down antenna corner mounted in the pick-up bed. Don't remember the model number off hand! This will be changing around as I have some new antennas and mounts to install as well as the addition of my recently repaired Yaesu FT-857 and the scanner will be swapped out for a P25 Digital capable model.
