Bill, I think we all have a whole lot of new things to learn and explore in this hobby. As others have extended the warm welcome to me, I pass the same along to you. WELCOME! Looks like we're in for a lot of fun times with this crowd. Do let me know how the setup goes and what kind of challenges you find, I'm hoping to do a VHF/UHF install on my Mazda Tribute at some point. But I haven't made any hardware decisions as of yet.
