k thanks ...

Im on a long road trip and since this is the first K2XX I've driven for more than a dealer test drive I was going to note my impressions compared to the GMT900s, so I just wanted to make sure I was driving the latest version.

Techbrute, Yes I meant you. Please accept my apologies. I was excited to see an antenna mount and rushed. Nice clean setup, can you show the radio mount. What radio is that? I'm using Proclip mounts also with IOmagnets for my phone and tablet. They allow for tilt and swivel. I'm a newb ham in the Chicago area and was just getting to this point. Thanks in advance.

Here is the mount under the radio: http://amzn.to/1cGT8Sn

I just stuck an adhesive metal plate to the back of the radio controller. The radio is a Yaesu FTM-400DR.

I hope that information was what you were looking for.

Here is the antenna kit:

And the radio:

I needed an extension for the antenna cable, and a couple RF adapters to tie it together. With nice cabling and power wiring, it's probably around $800 for this little project. You can do it a lot cheaper, I just prioritized a few things others might not, like aesthetics. In that case, a radio with a remote face becomes important.

The things I am looking to change is a) the power cable route, and b) the speaker situation. I'm looking for a small external speaker that I can mount in an unobtrusive location. Right now, the radio transceiver is in the armrest, and the speaker is built in to the transceiver. I wish it was in the control unit, but I suppose that would make the control unit more cumbersome.

I could patch it in through the aux in on the stereo, but I want to be able to listen to music as I scan.

Here is my set-up.
I have a high band radio and a scanner. I ended up putting two antennas on the roof, I'll post pics later of that. But I made everything fit in the center console, so it's out of the way. My speaker is mounted on the inlet in the center console, so where your right knee is.
