Yeah, I've seen the posts for CB mounting and some of them are pretty good.
VHF/UHF ham sets require higher current then the 4W CB sets, so part of this post is to get ideas about how to get the power cable up to the battery, as using the interior wiring will likely be inadequate unless I stay QRP.
I've got a '97 standard cab with a fairly basic interior. I've done a cursory look at the firewall and it appears the rubber area around the steering column may be a possible route. Anyone used that? Are there any plugs in the floor where I could sneak the coax?
