Rig Photos

Well thats interesting. What are your plans for the build?
If you mean where am I going to go?
Next year involves a lot of camping around my home state of Tasmania whilst being the communications base for others doing other pursuits such as hiking and horse riding.
Towards the end of 2023, our springtime, I'm planning to be Overlanding on the Australian mainland.
Once I've completed the lap of Australia, I might go further afield. NZ is the most likely destination.

If you mean, what else I'm going to add to the rig?
Recovery points (I just need to fit them) and organising the gear storage. There is always something.

Constantly upgrading and changing, but I love getting out and exploring.
Can you share the data/specs on your antenna? Bands, model, company, etc? Thanks!

I have two radios;

My HAM is an AnyTone AT-778UV Dual Band.
I normally use a Youmei Dual Band NMO UHF/VHF 400-470/136-174MHZ 50W antenna mounted on an NMO hood mount. While I have never had an issue with Range I still carry a Tram 140MHZ-170MHZ + 430-470MHZ NMO Antenna.

I also have a Midland MTX275 GMRS using a Midland 3db Gain Ghost Antenna also NMO.

I do have an old CB but it never gets any use.

The antenna you see in that photo is for my Weboost Drive Reach OTR (fleet) wired into the truck. That is the older Wilson antenna. The bulge in the middle is where I had to repair the stick. (I broke it pulling into the garage.) It gets pretty darn good Range (even when it’s down) when it’s up it does extremely well at boosting signal. I have gone from barely a single bar to 3 bars, enough for phone calls and txts.

Here are the locations on the other two antennas.

Outstanding! Thanks so much! I kinda figured that was a web antenna. Definitely appreciate the info.
Stay Safe!
