  1. Great job Lewis! The Simoco SRM series are pretty much bullet proof. If I can make a couple of suggestions: 1) Go to an automotive or electrical supplier and get some split loom or spiral wrap. Bunch all of your wiring neatly inside and it keeps it all nicely hidden and protects the DC cables from abrasions and shorts, especially in the boot/cargo area. Definitely tidy up the slack around your drivers footwell and gear shift etc.. 2) The magnetic mounts are going to ruin your nice white paintwork. Looks like the one already has started etching rust into the paint. Some lip mounts that fit on the rear hatch would be better, although they will need periodic removal to clean underneath. They will perform better than mag mounts and allow larger antennas to be used. I really like the yellow control head, but it would be too obvious to the Police when operating while driving. Although it is legal to use a two way radio when driving here, a road side argument about the law with the Police is futile. I use a hands free microphone with a foot switch in the car now. 73's!!!!
