VE6HBY kc5muv here I've used a 2m/70cm handy on mine. had a dual band antenna in place of the am/fm ant. it worked pretty good but i didnt try it with a head phone. Others here run them. maybe someone else will chime in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOO Posted August 6, 2007 Share #3 Posted August 6, 2007 Yeah there are several hams on this forum but I dont know anyone using the headset but that would sure be the way to do it. I dont believe it would take much but I cant say I have ever tried to do it. Good luck, Jerry W9FE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skid Posted August 6, 2007 Share #4 Posted August 6, 2007 There is several hams here locally that operates on two wheels. Most of us just uses a HT. I can set my HT in the cup holder and use a ear mic when traveling together. One member has installed a Icom 706 on his GoldWing. He mounted the faceplate on the dash and uses the hand mic... 73's, N8YOW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mother Posted August 11, 2007 Share #5 Posted August 11, 2007 on my first gen i removed the cassette player and it makes a great storage area for my 2 meter/70 cm rig. or sometimes i just take the scanner. i use a mini earphone in the one ear.

arhayes Posted August 11, 2007 Share #7 Posted August 11, 2007 This is something I've thought of doing for years, but I somehow never seem to get my Ham hobby intertwined with riding. I did a temp mount with my HT a few years back, but just was too busy riding to play radio Hi Hi. I do not personally know anyone that has an install on their Venture, but there is a mobile ARC and their website is http://www.marc-hq.org/. I ran into a Goldwing rider at a Hamfest a few years ago who is a MARC member, and he had an IC-2720 on his Wing. He had the body mounted in the trunk and added a separate PTT button under the left grip. He had used the shield from coax to create a ground plane attached to the underside of the trunk which worked well. 73, NE5AH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spud Posted August 12, 2007 Share #8 Posted August 12, 2007 VE3VHE here.. I've just used a portable. Never mounted anything on the bike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twenty7Delta Posted August 16, 2007 Author Share #9 Posted August 16, 2007 thanks for the replies - I didn't catch up sooner as I thought I'd be getting subscription emails about replies.... I thought about just using my HT but thought the audio from an ear phone would be too crappy. I see Yaesu has a waterproof mobile vhf/uhf with a detachable face plate. My buddy just bought onee and we'll be installing it on his crotch rocket on Saturday - maybe I'll get some more ideas... TNX, Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
