Hey guys! Here is a quick little update to what I’ve done to my mobile set up! I’ve noticed I was picking up a lot of airband so I figured I’d make proper use of it! Picked up the BC125AT, the supposed king of airband scanning. Hope you like it!

Hello again! I thought I’d post a video going into a little bit of detail about all the equipment that I have, hope you guys enjoy! 73s
What antenna do you have the bc125at hooked to?
@@mattyjulien the same one the sdr is hooked up too!
Why not move that Big ole brick of an amp to the back seat area. unless you need an armrest heater
i am so jealous of this. I dont have a license yet but found out about ham radio about a year ago and already have learned much. Now i am trying to find a date to take the test for the license.
Bad ass rig
Does the amp overheat?
@@ivaniuk123 I don’t talk on it long enough to get burning hot! But if I ever found myself having a long chat I’d always open up the lid
Thank you for the video I would recommend the president microphone noise cancellation and the microphone switch on the steering wheel thank you again😊
@@paulcarcamo6992 I’ve got the digimike! Loving it so far!
Very nice setup! I just got myself the same scanner recently. This video got me thinking about the SDR too. What kind of splitter you are using and how much it weakens the signsl?
@@SakariNythank you! I used to run a splitter but everything has its own antenna now! The sdr uses the chameleon telescopic whip, it’s on a quick disconnect so when I’m not using it I store it inside the truck
Insane set up. I’ll be curious what your next vehicle will be.
@@Redsox3600 check out my most recent vid!
I’m trying to do the same thing but instead of a tablet I’m trying a Chinese android head unit. Yeah, they’re cheap and not the best quality, but I can root it and run software on it. So I have my SDR wired up to my head unit. Lol.
thats a sick truck and very very nice setup. G O A L S
Very cool rig
That's a sweet setup bro. Keep the great videos coming.
Watch the RTL-SDR dongle's temps my man, those things get hotter than hell! You don't want to catch your rolling shack on fire!
Interesting… I’ve ran mine for several hours straight and it seems rather fine, warm to the touch but nothing hot.. maybe yours doesn’t have thermal pads inside it
I used to love listening to scanners as a kid growing up in Phoenix. I would listen to aircraft as well, but since Phoenix went digital, I cannot figure it out. I spent $700 on a digital radio only to sell it a couple years later, cause I could not figure out how to get it to work. I even had the place I bought it from program, but I could not understand the transmissions. It sounded like it was garbled. I also didn’t know how to follow a call. I used to be really simple. They had a channel chase as they called it, which was channel one and then all the precincts had their own channel when emergency traffic came out let’s say for the seventh precinct they would switch to channel one and they would work the traffic on channel one and you could hear all sides of the Conversation, if you have any knowledge on how I could do this again I’d be happy to pay for your time. Thank you.
Sounds like encryption. If you got a digital scanner that does p25 phase one and two, and you still hear garbled mess… it’s encryption, but there’s plenty of other things to listen too, Look up radioreference.com and put in your county. It will show all the local frequency you can put into your scanner
Hello from Phoenix, Arizona. This is some cool stuff I love gadgets. I don’t have my ham license. I’ve been looking at GRMS lately very powerful 50 W radios that you can put in your car. They work on the repeater system and you don’t have to take a test. You need a license but it’s a 10 year license for $35 coverage your whole family. I’m sure you know all about it, anyway, looking forward to more videos
Great update. I just started playing with my RTL SDR dongle, too. It blows my mind. Maybe i missed it. Which antenna do you use for that? And an awesome idea putting a tablet mounted in there for it. And good idea with the kill switch. Keep those projects coming, brother!
Thanks! The sdr is connected to the 17ft chameleon, works super well, I was parked by the water, able to hear stations from England coming through on 20m band
@jackbarker2175 crap, that's awesome. I also threw a 17footer on my roof but a crappy Chinese one and tried to tune for 11m... no luck. But for listening for the SDR? Genius.
cool rig where did you come across the radio consul looks great
Thanks! I made the console myself!
Not a great idea too have to antennas next to each other they could detune each other
They are for listening only, not transmit, The chameleon antenna there, is on a quick disconnect, So I only have it on there when I’m parked using sdr++ anyway! I keep it stored in the back seat when I’m not using it
What was the reason for the switch from the 980ssb to the lincoln2? Thanks. Awesome rig
You really should do a better job with the wire management. I removed my vehicle entire interior so I could wire things better.
What a nice setup. Could you let us know where you procured the mounts for the phone, radio, tablets., I have a 2014 Ford F-350 and I would like to do a similar set up. Thanks in advance.
@@coincidentalrvadventures2081 Amazon!
The antennas look Goofy hanging off the truck like that.
You should do a more in-depth video/review of the zastone looks like a cool unit. Perhaps connecting it to the island repeater network
Very impressive. Great Video
Why not use an all in one system like a Bluetti or Ecoflow power station?
Jack, where did you find the mounts for the shovel, axe and high lift jack? 73 KD0QZR
@@KD0QZR it’s actually a rifle mount, that’s meant to be installed on quads! Picked it up on Amazon!
That is a SETUP! New baby HAM VA7PNX
Nice setup. I don't know why so many have hearburn over this. HF mobile is challenging and fun. If you think this is overkill you should see the VW GTI with the mega vhf rover station inside. Its an engineering marvel.
What android tablet is that?
It’s a lanovo!
What model # Lenovo tablet?
Didnt tell a thing but you can see a decent height setup. Looks like a cable support up top or a ground plane. Down to a winch to lower the anrenna ??? Or the mast as well
A super decorated car. This is just my opinion, but a tablet would fit better higher up in front of your eyesight.
funny. already subscribed to the channel you recommended. vortexradar just covered some interesting dashcams. that might be something you can add to your vehicle. you might also be able to fit either a starlink or mini sat antenna as well. or maybe kraken sdr.
Neat to have on a towtruck if you do 60 plus hrs a week and nobody uses your truck….id like it. Gotta be in truck most of the time or for a living for me do do this…I got 1 25watt anytone with a whip on my expedition…that’s it. I carry phone.🍷
The HF antenna an inch away from a dual bander? Do they detune each other?
They are both listening antennas, no transmitting is done on them
Was the difference between sdr and mobile scanner
Nice
I'm honestly still the same nerd that people called me when I was in school I'm just a nerd about cooler stuff. Awesome video by the way!
Nice setup! KE0LYC here. I'll be following!
I'd worry about the amp heating up in that enclosed space.
I don’t talk on it enough for it to be a problem! I keep convos brief!
You don't have Amateur DATV
Battery cut-off switch is always a great idea, but the location is not good. In a bad accident it could make contact with your left knee. I have scene this with older snow plow controls before they switched to the remote control
Hey Jack! What tablet do you have there ? Also curious to know what HF rig you’re using. 73, VE6DPC
An accident waiting to happen. Probably spending more time playing with all that crap than keeping his eyes on the road.
Such a thing called prioritizing
Thanks for the very detailed video this is exactly how I want to set up my truck ,awesome
What happened to your voice?
Awesome setup 👍👍👍 de KN6JHC
Where did you find that mount for the home patrol 2
Amazon!
@@jackofalltrades28 I can’t seem to find it do you have a link on Amazon
I have no clue why anyone would want an antenna in their view all the time.
Doesn’t bother me 🤷🏻♂️
It’s quite common in NATO vehicles as well as a lot of Red Cross vehicles. Should attend the Hamvention in Ohio in May, there are several wild ones who have turned their vehicles into porcupine rides with several dozen antennas installed on their cars.
You don’t notice it after a few hours driving
@@Subgunman Ya it would drive me nuts. I'm going to be putting mine on the roof or on the ditch light brackets.
Accessory addiction is a real problem
So if I have followed you correctly. You got messing around with CB radio, got bit by the cb bug. And found your self escalating to ham radio. That's what happend to me too. The drug of CB that's how it starts, just 4 watts and 40 channels that's all it takes to get hooked for life. Now it's crossband this HF that and some ISS when you think you can get away with it. Good videos 73
