Howdy Allen, welcome to Overlanding

The Yaesu FTM-400xdr does all of this in one radio package. The Yaesu FTM-100DR does arps or cw, but not both at the same time from what I understand... personally I’m going with the Yaesu FTM-400XDR as a lot of people in my local ham club run it as well as several OB members...

@maine-woodsman , welcome from the Northwest.

I hadn’t either. I tried searching the internet for someone doing this before, and if it has been, the process hasn’t been documented. Once I get all the parts located, I will be doing a whole documentary on it as part of my build thread.

I am building my own auxiliary system...I had similar requirements, replaceable relays, upgradable easily in the future , compact, waterproof, and cheap. Also running my wires to a custom overhead console for switch panel and coms along with to my roof lights, I needed the wiring harnesses...

@Lanlubber It’s a gps device that can send text messages via satellite signal... most importantly it can send a locator beacon to authorities in the event you have an emergency... I would actually put this at the top of your list Jim, for a piece of mind for the rest of us as you are traveling...
