Re: UHF CB radios


For my recent additions, I used a boot lid mount, with an elevated feed.

I mounted it to the bonnet and fitted it with a 9db fibre glass stick.

It just clips on the edge and secures with two grub screws.

I'll post a couple of pics later on.

Re: UHF CB radios


This is the boot mount (fixed to the bonnet)

(edit: due to my lack of facilities to resize images on my work pc - I have just left the image links here)

I have some other pics of the installation process for interested parties.

See below, fitted with a 6db fibreglass whip. Tends to shake a little on idle though.

Jalal
Have you recently installed an ariel mount on your nudge bar, I noticed it in the 'car care' section looking at your sparkling engine bay.
I hadn't noticed it on the Yengo trip.

Re: UHF CB radios


Hi folks,

Just wondering if anyone has thought about or installed a CB in the small slot in the upper glove box on the passenger side of a T30 II? Thought it might be a nice tidy spot to have it out of the way. Probably need to get one of the 'compact models'

Any suggestions. I don't really want to have it in one of the DIN spots.

Photo is of the spot I am talking about.

Admin Edit: Photo code fixed.

Re: UHF CB radios


I'm looking at getting an Icom IC-440.

Has the controls all in the mic, so you can hide the unit itself under the dash or seat.

The RFI CD-900 aerial has a great rep as well, would probably get 2, and replace the borked aerial on the Patrol as well.

There is an online seller I'd recommend, but I think its against forum policy to do so.
