I have 3 of the Larsen NMO mounts in my roof. 1 of these with the rg58au and 2 with lmr200. They are great mounts and will recommend them over others. There's a little cap on the bottom that covers the center lead solder point. You can put a dab a silicone on that but I don't think it's needed.

Just checking, gotta get all the details when trying to help. It's amazing what a small issue will cause. Do you have anyone close with a radio you can throw the antenna on or use their antenna?

The KG-UV980P is the same body and software as the KG-1000g just different tx frequencies. You can expand the frequency with software and it's cheaper than the 1000G. This alone makes it a better choice. I can talk cb fm but listen am/fm, ham, and gmrs. I have 3 different antennas going to a triplexer. You can also check out the TYT TH-9800.

You can get a lip mount bracket. https://www.gigaparts.com/comet-antennas-cp-5nmo.html?gclid=Cj0KCQjwhLKUBhDiARIsAMaTLnFa2MEtKn8ZJRyzQ4kFmxS9g2ZVbq_AAkprgK2ggo_uL0Czawd_tw8aAlu-EALw_wcB or https://www.amazon.com/Midland-MXTA27-Universal-Connector-MicroMobile/dp/B0842BB2R9/ref=asc_df_B0842BB2R9/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=416780426358&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=12158357770759555836&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9007206&hvtargid=pla-899516697755&psc=1&tag=&ref=&adgrpid=90730211461&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvadid=416780426358&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=12158357770759555836&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9007206&hvtargid=pla-899516697755 You also gotta plan on not being able to use a vehicle depending what happens when needing to bug out. Grab a slim jim and throw that in the bag too. https://n9taxlabs.com/shop I have the dual band ham and gmrs/murs. Added some paracord small arborist throw weight and a sma to sma extender cable to throw it over a branch and pull it up a tree for height.

Is your feed line pinched through a door? Do you have the radio pos and neg hooked up to battery? Are you testing with doors open or closed? Engine running or off?

Where is the antenna mounted? Are you cutting the bottom section or the top section? What frequency are you trying to tune for? Are you in a vehicle or on a power supply?

I had the Wouxun KG-XS20G, It's a 20w GMRS radio that also receives dual band frequencies so you can monitor other local channels. It's essentially their KG-935G in mobile form with 20w. Great little radio for the vehicle, I just wanted something more. I ended up upgrading to a Wouxun KG-UV980p with expanded frequencies.

Are you trying to hook up a simplex radio or are you trying to hook up a repeater? Either way your gonna need a raspberry pi and the sd card with image. Feel free to send me a direct message on here or email me. WROE856@gmail.com

I'm running the current version of hamvoip on my node at the moment. I posted a small write up about how to do it. How do you like the hp thin client? Are you running linux on it? I'm getting tired of the issues with the raspberry pi and looking to switch to something better. I was gonna try the Rock Pi when it came out to see how that is.

Auto am is only on certain frequencies. When you go to a channel and put am sw on it will receive am till you change the channel unless you set it in the programming software.

Don't know how or why but today it's working perfectly fine. Playing every 2 hours like I wanted. Thanks for the help!

What does the mount look like your making?

There was no time/weather. I have another set up to run rc.updatenodelist as */5 * * * * and that runs every 5 mins. I guess I could just add an entry for every time I want it to play.

I have a new scheduling issue. With the new hamvoip image, it come with *81 to give time and weather. I'd like it to run at 15 past the hour every 2 hours. From what I see online I have it set correctly but it still runs every hour. Is there a different way to do it? 15 */2 * * * I even tried 15 6,8,10,12,14,16,18,20 * * * That didn't work at all. I tried it under scheduler in rpt.conf and crontrab -e with the same issues. Sorry for being annoying

I noticed when people were transmitting I would lose part of the transmission every few seconds, sometimes the whole transmission then I would hear my courtesy tone. I noticed this when I had my phone linked in with DVSwitch while monitoring my radio. I did some playing around in the simpleusb.conf setting and found that if I changed it from log to linear my audio would be fine without issues. To change the settings log in with putty, on the main menu hit 12 for simpleusb tune menu After your in the simpleusb menu hit 5 then number 2 When your done making changes hit W then 0. Make sure to restart asterisk when done making changes by selecting option 13 from main menu.
