LCARA HAM Radio: FTM-300D Installation in Ford F-150!!!!

[@JDHarrington]

Overall, a great video. Would've liked a little more detail on that antenna mount and how you brought the antenna wire into the cab...

[@ipodbuff]

Very nice installation 🎉🎉🎉. I think that’s perfect the way you have it now.

[@rjdiaz9551]

Looks very nice. I'd like to see how you get the antenna lead behind the overhead liner without deforming it.

The head rest is a great idea thanks

[@9W2NSP]

Nice installation

[@BigJohnsHamShack]

Awesome video, but I have to admit my favorite part that the headrest mount.

[@nopenadanowaynohow]

I really appreciate the detail with the lido mount. Am attempting mount a yaesu with the lido heavy mount and was not wanting to have to trim, cut or drill, but it seems there really isn't much choice in that. My truck is a 6 passenger so no center console (XL with STX), there is a bolt on the side of the hump that looks like it might work, but will still need a bit of trimming

[@stevespilker7640]

Very clever.

Hey 👋 I have another video topic idea. I was wondering if you think you could look up some cop radio frequencies and see if you’re new radio can monitor them and make a video of you listening in. See if you can find any frequencies in your area that the radio can cover. 😉😉😉

Did you ever do the prize drawing

[@LCARAHAMRadio]

Andy, yes a subscriber from Texas won. We posted a video for the drawing.

[@evanwindom3265]

I just couldn't bring myself to hack out the trim on the seat bolt. I'll McGyver something else for that situation.

[@All_Things_Radio]

Awesome videos. Do you have a link for the head unit mount? I like that speaker mount. I have been looking for a way to move my speaker from the center concole to on the head rest. K4YAG Justin 73

It's the Lido mount, 22" version. Thanks for watching!

[@All_Things_Radio]

@@LCARAHAMRadio thank you for the reply.

[@ChristisKing7749]

more detail

[@TheUnofficialMaker]

very funny

[@rf667]

I wonder why automotive manufacturers don't use Anderson Power Pole connectors in their own installations. It is BECAUSE THEY SUCK! They're not captive and they're troublesome. You should NEVER use them in a mobile install.
