Default Yaesu FT-897 Mobile With Subaru Outback?

Hi Folks:

Need your input on this. I've almost convinced myself to buy a new Subaru
Outback and want to use my FT-897 in it. As of yet, I have not made a
choice of antenna system and a search on the net has come up with very
little info.


That will be the tricky part, I think. Have not yet solved the problem
with my 2003 CR-V .. but I'm still researching the issue (radio was
relatively easy .. an FT-857). So far antenna solutions have been
temporary in nature.

Are you aware of any RFI issues with this car? Do you have any installation
tips, or websites with suggestions as to best mobile installation practices?


This is one of the best sites I've found recently re mobile installations:
