You guys definitly have some awsome set ups for location on the radios. I might have to relocate mine from the back seat magazine holder to the front in the dash if it will fit. Got a connex 4600 turbo 10 meter set up on a 11 meter frequencys. Still set up with the 10 meter chanles also, have a wilson roof top mount installed on the roof near the back, can just remove when needed and put the cap on. Oh, haven't had a problem with fcc with this radio.

Hey Dawg, how does that diamond mount work for you? I've heard mixed reviews but it looks perfect.

It's worked out great for me. I don't have anything bad to say about it. Solid mount, no damage to the sheet metal and no holes drilled. Several of my friends use the same mount and are also happy with it.

Dawg4runer, that mount is awesome! Do you have pic of the inside and how you routed the wire? I assume through the loom up there but how did you get it inside the rubber seal to stop water from leaking in? Just curious if you could take a pic of the routing with the hatch open from the inside.

Thanks in advance,
Seth

Seth, I routed the antenna wire down the side of the hatch opening, under the tail lamp assembly, then looped it up through the bottom of the tail lamp assembly. The wire is about the same thickness as a 16 gauge wire. The gasket from the tail lamp assembly provides a good water seal. The pics will explain it better. The wire inside the corrugated loom going into the rubber grommet is from the LED light bar. The other wire is my for my license plate light.

Here is my setup, Kenwood TM D710 VHF/UHF Transceiver. The antenna is a Diamond K400 lip mount with Comet "rubber ducky" antenna, like Dawg4runner's. There are no holes drilled since I'm using a suction cup mount.

How do you keep your suction cup stuck? I tried to mount something there with a suction cup and it kept falling every few days.

You just have to be real accurate on the edges and make sure the suction doesn't touch it or you won't get a good seal. So far it has not fallen off. I took it to a lot of bumpy places off road and it stayed in place. Mine did however come with a 3M circular double sided mounting tape if I decide to make it more permanent, but haven't used it yet. But so far so good, it hasn't moved.

Here's my setup:
-Cobra 18 WX ST II
-Firestik II 3ft antenna with tunable tip
-Comet RS720 antenna mount
-Heavy duty antenna spring

No complaints yet! Hopefully it will stay that way!

I'm not a fan of clutter and have made changes to get where i am now and very happy with the setup. I have a Cobra 75 WX ST CB that mounts under the center console so all that's visible is the handset, a Yaesu FT-1900R HAM mounted inside the console. The Yaesu uses a magnetic antenna since I rarely use it. I keep it inside the back of the truck and it works surprisingly well there but move it to the roof for serious use. The CB uses a whip style antenna mounted to my rear bumper. In other words all that's visible in the cab is the handsets which Are easily disconnected and tossed in the glove box.

No pictures but I'm running the Lil Wilson mag mount because I couldn't get the rs720 to ground properly. Currently waiting on that group buy for the new 4th gen hatch mount to see if it works better than the rs720

It never happened. I've since ditched the CB and have a hard wired HAM w/ mag mount that will eventually be a drilled roof mount.
