    Exclamation It lives! It lives!

    First off, a little mood music - maestro, if you please!




    Since one of my cigarette lighters (a.k.a. "power ports") is burned out, I decided to HARDWIRE my radios, BUT... I didn't want to go running any MORE wire around the door frame, SOOOO... I decided to hotwire BOTH scanner and CB into the fuse panel. A couple of ATM Bussman fuse blocks later...



    Cue, the electric spaghetti!!!









    And here's what it looks like from the rear, now!

    Cool

    And HERE it is - GTG!



    Clears the shifter by about 2". Being adjustable, I can probably get another inch or two if necessary.



    Checking out the sideband!



    Dead key on Ch.19 with the mofset engaged.



    Dead keys right at 1.00 on ch.40; 1.34 on ch.1 I'd like to get it a little lower, but seeing as how my antenna is basically 'no plane' because of how it's mounted, I'll take it.

    SPEAKING on antennas! A Larsen, for the scanner.



    A Wilson Silver Load 3' quarter wave 750 watt rated for the CB.



    Once you disconnedt the power cords and antennas, the whole system comes out very nicely for storage.




    Kinda scared myself when I first turned it on this afternoon - NOTHING happened! Since I'm fuse-block wired and grounded to the chassis, the ignition has to be "ON" for the radios to work. On the bright side, I can't forget about leaving them on, and killing the battery (although the little KP-203 HAS to be turned off manually!).

    Thumbs up

    Welllll... after ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL that work... I remounted my CB and scanner on Monday. Put the finishing touches on it today, and here's the pics.



    The ONLY place you CAN mount full-size CB & scanner in a commander - either side of the console.



    Need the scanner closer, so I can lockout repeaters, weak, & scrambled signals



    CB, facing me, for convenience.



    Mic, where the mount USED to be. Tailgate domelight on the floor. Lens popped out today, so I pulled the assembly & superglued it back together. It was drying down there on the floor still.

    GTG now, so we'll keep it here!

    I thought about that... but I do like to keep my dash clear. Even my camera mount is windshield mounted. Besides, they're pretty snug where they are - they're ALMOST out-of-sight - and I don't hafta worry about putting them in/taking them out constantly. Now... they're IN!

    I don't blame you for moving them! That first mount didn't look like it would hold up to well. I'm bored in welding class, already did projects on bumpers and frames for people I know now I'm out projects LOL. So I might have to take a look and see if I can make a mount that bolts to the seat bolt in the floor.
