When I made the first video on my truck radios, I said there would be follow-ups later. This is the first of many - The Yaesu FTM-500DR radio was released shortly after I made the first video, so today I install it in the mobile Hamshack. Plus I go into further details about the Lido Mounts that I used in my complete install.SPOSNOR: https://hamradioprep.comSave 20% off of all packages with the coupon jason20Items in my current install:Icom ID-5100 - http://hr2.li/nurdj Icom ID-5100 Lido Mount - https://amzn.to/42tG2lsYaesu FTM-500DR - http://hr2.li/p1be1Lido Mounts - https://www.lidoradio.comWouxun KG-1000G GMRS - http://hr2.li/h8qeb

Tonight's livestream will discuss my latest fascination with bags for ham radios - not just storage bags or carrying packs, but bags that are made to hold an entire radio station. Unzip the top and operate. Throw it over your shoulder and hike up a mountain while working the transceiver. Have you ever used a radio like this? What bag did you use?Links discussed in tonight's videohttps://w2hvh.com/ https://highgroundgear.com/collections/technology-pouches/products/instant-access-prc-117g-golf-radio-pouch?variant=42898220102https://www.armoloq.com/tpa-dr135https://portablezero.com/https://condoroutdoor.com/collections/backpacks/products/condor-venture-pack https://amzn.to/3M6Uf20https://amzn.to/3VIgVbU https://tacticaltailor.com/fight-light-removable-operator-pack/ https://eberlestock.com/products/s27-little-trick?variant=16875867242547 https://www.mysteryranch.com/asap-pack?quantity=1&color=Black&size=S https://haleystrategic.com/flat-pack-plus
