Ham Radio/Comms install

[rma]

Hey everyone, new member and week long ram 1500 owner! (Delmonico red 2020, 30k miles)

Yesterday I got around to installing some comms gear.

Yaesu FTM-400
Yaesu FT-891

Yaesu ATAS HF antenna (auto tuning)
Comet VHF/UHF antenna

Stake hole mounts customized and drilled out for each antenna

Custom made 3d printed bracket for the control heads nicely tucked away and clean with no visible wires

If anyone has any questions let me know!

This is a test print of my bracket (full print is full width, this was to test the angles)

All put in and tucked away

ATAS 100 auto tuning antenna

Stake hole mount slightly opened up to fit an SO239 Barrel

I'm a novice RAM owner (2019 BigHorn) and planning to install an older Anytone AT5888UV VHF/UHF analog trainsceiver (which doesn't have a removable control head). Did you separate the FTM-400 control head from the radio unit? How did you route the power and antenna cables to the radio unit?

How did you mount the microphone?

Where did you get power?

Where did you mount the radios? Under driver side seat?
