Poor Saber. Just on the floor like that.

If you don't want it you can give it to me. It will never be on the floor again. LoL Cool set up you have.

The saber is there because my wife was having ablatent disregard for quality radio equipment.... so can't give you the saber but I'll gladly loan you my wife.....

It's actually a work in progress but once everything is together I will have a whole lot of pictures to share....

How sad is that....I don't have any pix of her here at work....I'll set you up though Matt....

But anyway. Does anyone have any suggestions for the switches? I think they look pretty good but they could use a little work I'm sure.

Friend of mine did almost the exact same mounting system in his lumina. Ended up with 2 sys90 boxes for Syntor X mobiles, a yaseu ham rig and spectra 800 Mhz all mounted in a bail style bracket we made bolted to the old ashtray mounts. Works great for him.

It works very nicely actually. I'm currently Experimenting with different stacking styles as well.

We'll see what it all ends up being......

Updated photo of rack set-up. Everything else coming soon....

All I have to do now is find the appropriate legends to match my lights on the switch panel.

If anyone has any hints or tips let me know. Bear in mind this is a work in progress and will be changing after this weekend when I will be receiving another radio

Yup. I have found(sort of by accident) that an ASIII fits quite nice in the pocket in the door. Therefore no more no more potential domestic incidents when I find my portable on the floor.....
