Radioguy7268 Posted May 6, 2020 Report Share Posted May 6, 2020 I used to work with a guy who had no less than 8 mobiles in his personal vehicle. He had pulled the passenger side seat so that he could install a homemade "console" that also held his Laptop and 3 radios, along with his converta-com amp. He also carried at least 3 portables with him most days. I remember asking him one time how many radios he could talk on at once. I also remember that AAA cancelled his membership because he requested too many jump starts. Some people can take anything too far.

wayoverthere Posted May 7, 2020 Report Share Posted May 7, 2020 If you look carefully at the picture it becomes pretty obvious the car is not drivable.Reminds me of a "car" I saw at one of those bass competitions back in the day. It was an 80's yugo, with just a wooden bench for a "driver's seat". Literally everything behind that was either speakers, box, amplifiers, or batteries, and the windshield was just plexiglass braced with angle iron. I think it did move under its own power, but only barely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kidphc Posted May 7, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2020 I always though I can't tell which band did that come from? I guess in this car it is more which quadrant was that chatter on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't find the need for 4-5 2m/70cm setups, yet there are tons out there. Outside of tactical control. But eh each to their own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lscott Posted May 9, 2020 Report Share Posted May 9, 2020 I wonder if the guy did the FCC RF safety evaluation. Depending on band, power level and antenna location it's a requirement. Just because its a mobile station the safety issue can't be ignored. kidphc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
