this is my High Sierra Pro. It really works great. Talked to Austrailia, england, Lithuania, etc. all on 100 watts. All mobile.

if you don't know what it is don't respond!
I just bought a Yeasu FT-857D and would like to see what types of mounts/antennas/tuners you mobile HF talking JK drivers are sporting!
also if you have a good 2M 70cm dual band antenna setup, I'd like to know that as well.
and don't by shy with the pics!

I've been trying to figure out where to mount my ft-857d. I was starting to think at the drivers right knee would be the only place, but I have a soft top, and I don't want to lose the radio. At least using the remote head makes it pretty clear that there is a lot more to the radio.

Any install problems
I'm considering the Yaesu FT-857D w/ATAS-120A and some other duel band UHF/VHF Antenna. How do you like your set-up? Did you encounter any install problems? What model and where did you get the install mount?
