Yep the 12000lb one :-)

Finally got off me butt and swapped the UHF and second battery over from the clunker into the new GQ, will eventually fit a switch so I can use either the 3db or 6db aerials depending on terrain.

Yeah I was thinking about grabbing one of those but didn't think the missus would have been too happy if I'd walked in the door with one of those instead of some food lol

wouldn't that interfere with reception,
Dont you need to keep UHF antenna away from each other,
All I do is screw on a small one for hilly drives and the longer one for hwy work
I think you would lose reception
what style switch would you use????

Don't see why it would intefere with reception seeing as it'll only be using one antenna at a time and they're set at 2 feet apart ...... wouldn't have thought it would be any differrent to some one running 2 radios, the switch I have is similar to this one http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/2-POSITIO...5357363&_uhb=1

I also have the interchangeable antennas but once I've installed the switch I won't need to swap the whips anymore.

Start of our preperation for trip away ..... Lots of wiring to sort out and tidy up, I think I need a lots more battery terminal connection points.
And lots of tighning NUTS and bolts, pipes and fit a few p clamps to secure lots pipes .......

Big trip in 11 weeks echuca to birdsville via tippaburra, innamincka via cordillio downs track to birdsville then a loop back to innamincka via walkers crossing track and a different track from innamincka home to echuca all with our 4x4 camper.
So lots of prep :)
