Tried to do some stuff with APRS today but I had it set up wrong so nothing got transmitted while I was driving, lol
Sorted it all out now and gonna try again on Tuesday/Wednesday eve.
@renbymon I thought about it, but the roof of my car is polycarbonate so the mag mount won't work, also no ground plane!
@andrew Mine is from 2010 so still made of metal. Got the antenna clamped to the rear boot hatch.
@renbymon The smart has a big whip antenna on the front left. I wonder if I can use that mounting point and replace it with a nice big 2m band one and route some coax inside. ;p
@andrew Sounds like a plan! The other alternative is maybe to put some ground radials beneath the head liner if you do get an antenna through the roof
Really want to have an amateur radio in the car. Pretty much settled on what model I want but want to test out some stuff first.
