Equipment:

* Ham Radio - Kenwood D700A (APRS enabled).
* Commercial Radio - ICom F-1020.
* Antenna on front: Larsen Half wavelength (no ground plane) model NMOWB150B.
* Antenna on rear: Diamond NR73BNMO (VHF/UHF - no ground plane).
* Mounts: 2 X no drill Comet CP5NMO.
* Electric: Rignrunner

I use the car in Search and Rescue @ King County WA.

On the front hood, the Larsen antenna and a GPS antenna:


On the rear, the Diamond antenna:


Into the car:


This plastic cover goes out easily, for easy routing of the coax:


Tha electric and the antennas went thru the firewall hole (the Rigrunner is near the left leg of the drivre):


The radios hold using velcros:


Magallen GPS for APRS (connected to the D700):


Garmin StreetPilot 2720 for navigation, connectoed to the Antenna on the hood:
