Front firing speakers are awesome when you can't hear squat. I have an ft7800 in the truck, and an ft7900 in the xterra. I take the ft60 for portable if I want u/v coverage, or just use the mobile.

Can't remember if I posted in this one or not, but:

Licensed since 1980, Advanced in '81 and Extra in '89. Have more equipment than 20 hams need, and most of it restored or refurbished by me. I like to buy broken things and make them better than new. Eventually I sell a piece or two and rotate the money into the next project.

Admin a couple forums and mailing lists scattered around the 'Net. These are ham radio/electronics related and three are gear-brand-specific.
