N6ACA-9 Truck Install

I've been running this configuration in my truck for a while now. I figured I might as well document it.

• The Findu.com postion report for N6ACA-9
• The Aprsworld.net position report for N6ACA-9
• the db0anf position report for N6ACA-9

Here are the components:

• Kenwood G707A 2m/70cm radio
• Byonics TinyTrack 3Plus Position Encoder
• Byonics TT3 to Radio cable
• Duleo GPS DB9 Adapter
• Duleo GPS
• KG2/70CXPL - Radial/Larsen Dual Band Glass Mount Antenna
• Misc Wire and Wire routing tubing
• Misc Switches from Radio Shack
• A lot of Velcro fastener tape!

It took a bit of time to figure out all the routing, but the basic power schematic looks like this:

The Larsen Glass Mount Antenna

The External Speaker for the Rig purchased at Fry's

The Duleo GPS Puck Mounted inside the rear pop-out window

The hidden compartment mount of the TinyTrak3Plus and the radio under the back seat of the extracab. It is mounted on the fiberboard top to the rear compartment, so when the lid is installed, no rig is visible and the rear seat can flip down.
