Ham radio for beginners?

[Panzer07]

Here are some pictures of my HF set up. It is a Kenwood TS-B2000 with the RC-2000 remote head. The radio is mounted in the back and the Head is mounted on the dash with double sided tape and also slid under the Daystar dash organizer. There is a hole in the dash where a plug is removed to install the Day Star unit. The wire for the remote passes through this hole with no alterations. Again a very ergonomic mount with no alterations to the H3. This Radio covers HF from 10 - 160 meters, 6 meters, VHF and UHF. My antenna for HF is the Little Tar Heel II "screw driver antenna. It will cover the 6 - 40 meters very well. The antenna is connected to the radio and will automatically tune to the lowest SWR when the frequency is selected. As you can see, the antenna is mounted to the spare tire mount with no holes in the body. Works great.

This is some good stuff you got their man...do you have a full write down of this...I was thinking on doing some set up like this...but was going to use a CB since I have no ham license.

Hey Torres .... There are some good single din mount CBs that will fit in the dash where I have my TK setup. Course you would need a single din radio for you AM - FM needs. There is a good all in the Mic. CB out there if you don't need SSB on your CB. Private message me if you want more info on my set up.
