    Thanks! The Tow rating on this mount is: Tongue weight-750 Lbs or 340.194 Kg Max Max tow weight-7500 Lbs or 3401.943 Kg Max Of course for me, I don't know if I would try the max weight. Myself if I was going to pull that amount of weight which I probably never will, I would just go straight...

    Yaesu FT7900 Installed

    Sounds good. I would discourage from using the Onstar antenna idea completely, in my honest opinion, this is not a good idea. Reason being is because of the change in ohms for your antenna impedance and the fact the radio will 99% sure have a bad SWR (Meaning reflected power back to the...

    Yaesu FT7900 Installed

    Well I did my first radio install with many more to come. Unlike most other radio operators and hams, I do my installs different. I do not drill holes into the dash or resort to using the junk vent mounts as those are junk. I use the Panavise mount that holds the radio firmly and does not...
