Are you just playing the ham radio sound through the speaker on the radio? Can you hear it well enough? I currently have my FTM-400 mounted under the seat of my Wrangler and a cable going to the radio so I can listen to the ham radio through the Jeep's stereo. The nice thing about that seteup is it would play one channel through the left speakers and the other channel through the right speakers so you could monitor two at once. But I don't see any input like that on my new F250.

Nice job on the install. But be aware, some states would consider all those devices "visual obstructions". Very subjective...

Jake65nm - yes it does both 2m and 70cm

Gary F - the antenna wire sneaks in thru the power running board grommet

GM in a Ford - I used a Yaesu mls-200-m10 amplifed speaker in my Jeep. Worked so well I put in the F350
