Using Microcontrollers in Ham Radio Projects – a presentation by George Zafiropoulos, KJ6VU at Dayton 2012. Introduction to microcontroller hardware, software development tools and featuring several ham radio project examples.

http://www.kcomm.biz Here are some pictures on an Icom IC-7000 that was recently installed in a Toyota Avalon..

The head was remoted on the dash using a Yaesu MMB-62 mobile mounting bracket..The radio was set under the front passenger seat..We used a Jetstream JPST10 for an external speaker..The speaker was mounted in front of the passenger front seat..

The antennas were Workman mono band sticks..The support for the antennas is a Tram NMO trunk lid mount, which used a NMO to 3/8″ adapter..

The system was checked out & everything worked fine..The customer was happy..

Thanks for viewing..73, Mel

    Hi there, did you ever pick up an interference when the engine was running,
    I get a high noise level, I wondered if it was picking it up on the lead
    between the head and the radio, or whether it was the fact I was using a
    magmount and it isn’t really screened to the body, but the radio is screwed
    to the body……. from Fred in UK.
