    ICOM IC-2730 Mobile Radio install \\ 2020 Toyota Tacoma

    My Blue Seas block is grounded to the chasis and the radio is grounded to the block. I don't have any amount of interference whatsoever. I need to do a little more testing with tx but I have not had any issues so far. It's been set up like this for just about a year now.

    ICOM IC-2730 Mobile Radio install \\ 2020 Toyota Tacoma

    Thanks! I did actually just move the mic down below finally. It was just bulky and got in the way up by the head of the radio. I didn't like it. I put in the short taco button keystone holder and moved my mic down below. still don't really like the current place of the mic. Still a work in...

    I'm brand new to overlanding and trying to get my family out more. Do you have any good trail recommendations in Wisconsin or surrounding areas? The only trail in WI that I know if is the TWAT, which sounds pretty tame. Thanks!

    Overlanding+Ham=Resurgence?

    Definitely. Installed the Ram Track Mount on my dash and the radio is in my peripheral. going to put up a thread with the install when I get the pictures off the camera.

    RotoPax Vs. Jerry Cans

    I bought 3 Euro-style jerry cans from Major Surplus about a week or two before the country shut down. Came with 3 nozzles too. Great price. So far they seem like great cans. Need to find a mounting solution for my Tacoma though.

    Illinois/ Wisconsin

    In SE Wisconsin, just south of Waukesha. Work just north of Milwaukee. Hoping this sub is still active. Anyone want to do a meetup after this quarantine passes? If anyone has their Ham, I'm usually listening on the 146.910 New Berlin repeater!

    Overlanding+Ham=Resurgence?

    Anyone in Southeastern Wisconsin with a Ham license? I got into Ham last year and that's what got me into Overland. Picked up the IC-2730 and have it installed in my truck now. Hopefully be able to put up a post about how I set it up in the future.
