Friends: 0 | Re: Dualband ham radio in 2010 Prius I would like to know where you mounted the radio in the 2010? I can see how to get antenna and power to the unit mounted below the rear floor, but finding a good place to mount the control head and speaker seems much more difficult in the 2010 than in the Gen II Prius. The new console doesn't leave any space to fit in the usual remoted control panel. -- Thanks -- Ken (N6EN) |

Friends: 4 | Re: Dualband ham radio in 2010 Prius I just hope that the ham radio users are taking the same precautions that are afforded cell phone users. That there's a whole lot of buttons to muss about with when you're driving. |

Friends: 0 | Re: Dualband ham radio in 2010 Prius I'd be interested in knowing how you power the radio. From the SLI battery? Add a second battery? I'd really appreciate any info. I want to install lmy 2m mobile rig. KC9HSY |
