    With the 4BD1 deisel under there, not much room. Current plan is to put them back.
    A few defenders getting round with thr same and they have had no troubles.

    If in the unlikely event i strike a pedestrian, I've far bigger issues to be worried about.

    The courier delivered my new Icom 450-N this morning.



    Now I'm wondering if I should bury the unit inside the dash or mount it on the transom behind one of the front seats?

    The set comes with an extension for the mic/display unit so you can mount the unit anywhere within the length of the extension. I like the idea of having non-military items hidden from view.

    I like the idea of the remote control microphones it allows you a lot more options for mounting the unit. A particularly important issue with modern vehicles and as I mentioned when you don't want an obvious civilian radio in a military vehicle.

    I have similar GME remote control mic radios in my Disco4 and my SIII FFR. In relation to this set, I feel that Icom is a reliable brand for CB and Amateur radios so willing to give them a trial.

    (Have been thinking about installing one inside the housing of a PRC-10 for fitting to my SIIA gun buggy!)

    My Icom IC440 Pro is mounted behind the passenger seat, and uses the 24V system. Well, it did, until I sunk it on the Balfour track. Now it smells like corroded electronics.

    May pop down to Jaycar and look for a waterproof housing after hearing your issues. Was heading there for a housing for the auxiliary 12V supply outlets and fuses.

    Get a GME TX 3100 and mount it up high.

    On an unrelated not:
    Finally got a little time off road on way home from my second job (fire spotting)
    Got to check low range and transfer lock on some soft ground.

    Nothing hardcore but only had it a month, takes a little getting used to.

    Bit of video forvthe curious:

    [ame]https://youtu.be/nS6u4iAqkuY[/ame]

    when I first picked it up, I took a leg of the journey via ferry - also a first for me.

    Found that the roof racks are 20mm higher than the light fittings.

    I already have 3 GME radios* and the TX3100 comes back to the issue that you have a civilian unit that has to be mounted in a location where you can see the face and therefore everyone can see it.

    With the remote control mic you can have the unit hidden and remove the microphone when its on display.


    * GME TX3345 in my SIII FFR and Disco4 plus a GME hand held

    I work for a communication company. I get to play with alot of these. The remote mount units are great.

    I suggested the TX3100 as its tiny, and if you mount it high like on the roll bar, flooding the perentie is far less likely to drown it.

    Personally, I don't need to look at the face of any of my radio's while driving. In cases where I do, I usually have a co-driver to handle comms for me.
