[quote="110 John"]http://www.mudstuff.co.uk/mud-defender-roof-console.html
I have my antennas on my Patriot roof rack the coax I have fed through the rear passenger doors the door seals cater ok like this and then the coax i fed inside the roof lining and out through the existing coutosy light hole as the console has a seperate hole for the light, the power leads direct from the battery and up the B pillar again in the roof lining and out the light hole all are inside the din slot radio in and hook up I have a Atas 120a on the drivers side and a Sirio 2070R on the passanger side Oops,  i forgot to ask another thing 110 John. did you have an additional battery installed or the ft-897d is sharing the same battery the vehicle is relying on? have you had any trouble with the battery or the alternator supplying sufficient juice to the ft-897d  |

Hi no I havent but I should as the 857d pulls 22 amp at 100w it dont take a rocket scientist to work that one out that a 90 amp battery wont last long so yes another battery would be better

I bought a gutter mount that lasted about 3 months and cracked in half, so using a few spares and some ali angle I made this, worked a treat and was removed when i sold the truck..

yep that's what i thought too. but have you had trouble in the past with your current setup? it appears you don't seem to have any trouble at all.  |

No never had any trouble the atas is earthed via the roof rack ladder which is fastened to the chassis so gives a good ground to the atas and works fantastic
