Ham Radio Install Questions

Thanks for the info. I may look into it to learn and teach my kids before they get too old...

 

Forgot to post my install...... I should really just do a build thread hahahha

Radio is actually mounted under the shift console. I ran all the wires with filters down through the center of the dash. Pretty easy panel to replace

 

Hello,

I hope we can blow some dust of this 2016 Thread and provide some input for Gen 3 owners. If this needs to be elsewhere or a new string, please let me know. I've just joined and have had the truck only two weeks so I have a lot to plan with this installation.

Installing an Icom 7000 in a 2024 CrewMax Limited. I intend to only operate 70cm and 2m when mobile and keep the HF for parked Buddipole uses. I am currently looking at mounting the antenna on the cab, drill-through NMO, coax down the B pillar. Please if anyone has photos with the headliner down on a Gen 3 that would help A LOT. The main rig under the driver seat (I still need to measure). I plan the control head, mic and speaker to the left top of the 14" infotainment screen on a RubiGrid dash mount with a phone or tablet holder for the control head (I still need to measure).

Thoughts and advice are appreciated.

Below is the link to my recently completed 3rd installation of my Icom 7000 into my 2024 Tundra. This 18 year old radio has outlived a 2002 Chevy Silverado, a 2012 F-150, and now has a new home. Let's see if an Icom will outlive a new Toyota. :^D
