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. 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? As this is my first new car ever, the work will be done by professional 2 way radio installers, as I want this to look very good and my work generally looks like it was done with stone-age man's tools .. LOL Thanks for taking the time help out. 73 de Lee VE4ANC |

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: http://www.k0bg.com/indexright.html 73, Phil |

Thanks for the link. I've had a very quick look at it and seems like a worthwhile read. I'll spend a few more minutes on the site and see what I learn about the world of mobile operations. Regards, Lee |
