Good news folks, I have a new truck that I’m decking out. A special thanks to N9HUM for a great deal on an Icom IC-207H dual band mobile radio. Photos will be available once the citizens band radio and MPC01 controller have been mounted. Sorry, I still don’t know if I’m going to mount a lightbar, I’m trying to keep the sex appeal of my ride by going with internal strobes.

So far the truck needs some new u-joints, brakes pads and rotars, and a serpentine belt. Other fixes that need to be done are repairs to the damaged rear hatch, rear windshield wiper, rear upper brake light. There are more maintenance type things to be done and I’m always looking for new or used equipment. If you have something to donate, please email me, or you can use the donate button below! Thanks!

I have most of the antennas mounted and nearly all of the equipment in the truck. I just mounted the high gain dual band antenna yesterday and it surely likes the Icom radio. The only problem is that the locking washers I have aren’t big enough for a So-239 connector so the grounding system for the antenna produces some static due to semi-poor contact.

Also featuring a new ham radio wiki: http://www.KC9LFD.org/wiki   this will feature a wealth of information by me, radio information, and equipment reviews. If you have a suggestion for content, please email me kc9lfd@kc9lfd.org. Thank you my loyal followers!

PS. I’m still seeking donations for new strobes for my lightbar, or looking to trade it for internal strobes or LEDs.
