The Callsign
Nagoya bracket
Antenna cable and power cord
Icom Ic-V8000
Power cord +ve and -ve attached at battery terminal
Relay for better switching
Cars / jelopy 4-wheel vehicle that is popular among hams where it was available there, some of which have previously had a radio license again, so soon has the assignment of the apparatus, directly involved in the work upward antenna, power cabling and antenna, the transceiver assembly, installation bracket and sweeter when to insert callsign (for this reason that only one in the world belongs to us).
Important to be dealt with and considered before performing the work. From my observations are:
1. Band
2. Transceiver
3. Antenna
4. Antenna cable
5. Power cord
6. Bracket
7. Fuse
8. Connector
9. Vehicle electronic system
I decided to undertake this work with his own sweat for a close study through practical methods, so there should be some tool builders and thank all of the tools in my box builders. What is needed such as side cutter, rubber tube and screw driver suitable for car screw.
First, let check the observation above;
1. Band : VHF 2m range from 144.00 MHz to 148.00 MHz.
2. Transceiver : Icom V8000.
3. Antenna : Diamond M285s.
4. Antenna Cable : Diamond RG58 A/U Low Loss Super Gainer Series.
5. Power Cord : Standard 15V Heavy Duty.
6. Bracket : Nagoya.
7. Fuse : Standard 13A.
8. Connector : PL259.
9. Vehicle Electronic System : Location of power source and wiring way.
So, let start. Identified where the transceiver and the antenna to be locate and make sure the RG58 cable can be install. Remove the panel along the cable way to install the RG58 cable, usually 1 car use 15' long cable. Install the power cord from car battery to transceiver, usually reach 5' long, finish at the end cable at battery with connector that according to the battery pole size and other side finish with slot in at standard connector came with transceiver. Install the mobile transceiver bracket and antenna bracket. Pair each end of RG58 cable with PL259 connector and tidy up with hot rubber tube. Mount the antenna and screw PL259 and connect to the SWR meter to run test the ability, SWR readings at a rate of 1:1 is considered good. Test run by implementing a simplex transmission, when it is complete, try to test emissions at repeater station with a request from the other stations about report our emissions. Its done. Lets QSO!!
