New Explorer owner!

[jcvv]

Hello to everyone. I just bought a 2010 Explorer with 65K miles in fabulous condition. I traded in my 2002 GMC Envoy, decided to go Ford due to maint costs on the GMC and the crappy air conditioning that GM tends to have.

Anyway, I like to do minor repairs myself, and am a ham radio operator so will also be installing a 2-way radio under the driver seat very soon.

Looking forward to sharing info and learning a lot from you all!

Welcome John!

Are you going to put HF or VHF in the explorer? I had thought of fitting a dual band radio in the center console in my 98.

HF or VHF?

Thanks ElevatorGuy.

I am thinking right now just a dual band VHF/UHF rig, slid under driver seat. IF I can find a decent path out to the battery for the power cable.

I have HF rig and a screwdriver antenna I used in my previous vehicle, but I am not going to go the trouble of HF for a while.
