Ham Radio Install
Anyone install a Ham Radio in their HCH II? I'm a new Ham and recently bought a Kenwood Dual Bander 2M/440 for volunteer work and pleasure. When I contacted Honda Corp. they recommended not installing. The service mgr said that's their typical response to any non-Honda accessories. Any details about installation would be appreciated. Thanks, KC2NDC

Re: Ham Radio Install
I, too, am a ham. I have not permanently installed my Alinco unit in my car, I just plug it into an adapter from the power point and run it at low power.
I vaguely remember that there is a point where one can run a cable from the trunk to the main cabin. However, since it goes right next to the battery, I was concerned about interference. I never persued it further.
I'd be curious if anyone has any other installation options.
