Bob, What antenna are you using for your mobile? I've uplinked on 2m using a standard 5/8 wave dual band mobile mag mount. But I used a 70cm yagi for the downlink.

Ya know this stuff never gets old. I've been messing around with this stuff for about 50 years. This afternoon I finished installing my FT-8800 in my truck. I felt as nervous as when I was a novice with my home brew 6L6 (look it up). I worked 5 guys on AO-51. I just discovered a new wrinkle to this never ending hobby, my wife thinks I need a intervention, or help. Craig, it works super!
