First of all, I would like to thank everyone that shares their info on installs. I have a FTM-400. I’m looking at placing the control head off the mountain2metal Over Head Squatch Basket. I too not a fan of drilling into plastic panels. I also decided to run with GMRS. My biggest issue was, what antenna to use and where to put it. I wanted my antenna close to the center of the vehicle for less chance of breakage. I’m going to use the Melowave Overlander from Buy2Way Radio. I haven’t decided where to put my mic attachment, maybe down by the accessory ports. But here is a few pictures of where I’m in placing my antenna. Before you ask. I’m running a RTR spare tire holder with the off-road jack mount. I’m also thinking about running a second antenna for possible 2m/70cm usage. My radio system is a work in progress. I only want to do it one time.
