Andrew,
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV>I’ve got the Diamond HF30FX bolted to the bullbar of my Prado. It’s sitting
atop a GME spring loaded mount so that I don’t destroy it when going over
corrugations. Icom IC-7000 @100W. Works a treat. Here’s part of our Central
Australia trip in August. </DIV>

<DIV>There’s a little bit of VHF mixed in as well.</DIV>
