Great looking install, Mark. Thanks for showing the detail behind the control head. It just goes to show you that clean-looking installations are possible even without going for a console.

Install looks good. A few suggestions - paint the nylon spacers to blend in (Krylon Fusion should work). Also, I wouldn't trust add-a-fuses for a transmit-capable radio...

Thanks for the suggestions tvsjr! I will definitely get around to painting the spacers.

Typically, a government contractor is *not* someone to trust

While I don't like add-a-fuses on general principle, if it's just for the control head, it's not so bad.

It's fine, you can trust them

I'd recommend you make sure they crimped you Mini UHF connector properly.

I did the antenna installation myself and the mini UHF connector came pre-crimped on the coax from the factory

Ahh, love that quality battery grounding on the Charger.

OP: if you pull the trunk side wall carpet off from above the battery area there is room to completely conceal a mid-power Spectra/XTL-size radio drawer. I'll post pics later of an install I did that way.
