You can make that thing a mobile with these items, just don't buy the cheap programming cable. Get the one that's about $20.

Rick, I saw you mention that cheap cable on TNX.

You have to install the drivers for the cable and it should work fine. 

Here's a good write up on it.

Also, check out Chirp for easy programming.

Steve, thanks for that link. I actually already went through everything on that page and installed those drivers. For some reason, I still can't get my cable to work, it won't install correctly for some reason. I  must've got the cable made by swing shift on a Friday night. Ha-ha

Nice job Jay!

I was so hesitant to give up my original call sign that I've had for 20 years (KF6QBY). But since it's really difficult to know who's who on the radio while out on the trail, I finally sprung for a vanity call. My new call sign is K6FAN, please update the list accordingly.  O0

Also, for anyone considering a vanity call sign, the FCC decided in September that it cost more money to collect the fees than the fees actually generated, so now it's free. :D

Callsign:  W6VIC

License date:  December 2009

Current radio set-up:  FT-8900 Quad band 2m/70c/6m/10m mobile currently installed in my Nissan Hardbody but I'm sure I'll move it to the Xterra soon.   I also have a Kenwood TS-930S in a box.  I used to have a nice shack setup but I moved almost 2 years ago and never found a good way to set up my wire antenna here at this house.   :'(

We're talking about moving back to Riverside to be closer to work, so I'm not sure how much effort I want to put in to put up my wire..  But I do miss HF.. =(
