Well, finally got everything installed how I want it and now it's finally time to quit adding stuff and spend a bit more time using it!

WRANGLER JK HAM RIG

Now includes: YAESU FT-817ND with BHI DSP module, LDG Z-817H auto-tuner, SAINSONIC MX-P817 HF amp, MICROWAVE MODULES 144/100S 2M amp, PALSTAR 2000AM SWR/Power meter, YAESU MH-36E8J DTMF MIC, YAESU MLS-200-M10 external speaker, DX-WIRE diapole and WONDERWAND.

First report and it's working pretty well. Need to get a cable made up and a switching box to alternate between the 2 amps but otherwise all good! Have to say this 3M Dual Lock is worth it's weight in gold. It makes installing a rig like this semi-permanently incredibly easy and solid as anything!

Just curios what the coax is plugged into; is it the antenna tuner? Also wonder if you've considered putting a different connector on the end of the coax so it is compatible with the other device, thus shortening the connector allowing better viewing of the HF rig display?

Really nice setup.

UKCRD

No, that goes straight to the radio as the Wonderwand has it's own built in manual tuner. I'm waiting for a cable to be made up that will allow the two amps, tuner and meter to all talk together but that setup will be used with the diapole.

Just posted a couple more pics of the actual shack that's also now complete.

That's sexy! Nice job!

Cheers CD! Even more comfy now with some nice cushions!

Nice! Now I'm thinking about a rear station configuration! I am considering a drawer in the back of the Jeep it wouldn't take much to install the radio equipment there. Especially for security when going topless!

That is nice, my dogs would like that area...

UKCRD

Yeah, would be good topless. I never get to go topless over here in the UK so not a concern for me.
