Mobile HF Installation of Jim WØIRE on September 16, 2006 |
 |
Jim WØIRE just completed the installation of an Icom 706 MKII Transceiver in his Dodge Grand Caravan. He showed it off at the September 16th BAARC breakfast. (l-r in the photo) Jim WØIRE, Lyle KØLFV, and John WØJGY discuss the installation. |
 |
The 706
MKII Transceiver control head is above the regular car radio. The console area, between the driver and passenger seats, is a custom-made item and has a digital voltage and current meter, a Kenwood dual-band 2-meter/440 TM-V7 Transceiver and a Radio Shack scanner-receiver. |
 |
The antenna is a 102-inch whip on a horizontal plate mounted to the trailer hitch assembly. This is out of the way so the tail-gate can be opened easily. There is a tennis ball on the antenna to keep the whip from hitting the paint on the car. |
|
|
The
antenna tuner is an Icom AH-4. It automatically tunes the antenna
from 80 to 6 meters. Good going, Jim! |
