Help w/selecting correct radio equipment

[Rob in CA]

The LVJ kit includes the following extras:

* Programming for all common frequencies used for runs, and custom extra channels on request

* Extended wiring harness pre-cut to the correct length to reach the battery

You can also add options like headliner mount plate with or without built in switches, mic mount plate (socket and mount clip) that fits in the passenger side cubby.


I'm seeing Keith this evening I will remind him to check his email/pm's again.

Now the price difference makes more sense. If a mag mount could potentially get knocked off, I wonder if a lip or tab mount on one of my bed rails would work better. That's why I linked that lip mount in my first post.

I think a lip mount would be fine. I've seen people run them.

Another option is a stake pocket mount, just make sure you buy an antenna with a spring in it.

You saying get one with a spring in case the antenna hits something?

Correct I have broken 2 antennas that didn't have springs built into them.

Rog. Makes sense.

So assuming I get the TYT 9800 (Hopefully LVJmotorsports will be helping me with that) I'm thinking the following equipment for the antenna after taking everyone's inputs.


Antenna:

NMO mount:

Stake pocket mount:

Hopefully that all makes sense.

Do you need the thick surface NMO mount? That's $30 with the connector attached. I'll link the one I just got.
