Hey y'all,
I tried reaching out to a few ham radio companies but they couldn't understand what I was asking I guess. I figured the B6G braintrust could get me set in the right direction.
I am far from an expert so if you could just prescribe a few parts and pieces to get me setup, I'd appreciate it. Tech license.
I'm mounting my Yeasu FTM 400 to my vehicle and need the following parts;
1) Looking for a tailgate/spare tire mounted antenna. Something long enough to work well but not scrape the ceilings everywhere we go. I'm really only communicating on the trail and bouncing the occasional repeater.
2) appropriate mount (NMO?) and coax to run back to the radio (15' should suffice). Will be mounting to a 3/16 thick steel bracket
