I was a Conditional Class. WA5JLO When my boys got old enough to ride dirt bikes, seemed like I never had time to operate my rig anymore. Let my license expire some time ago and never renewed. It's too late to renew now without taking a test and I've forgotten too much to ever pass a test now.

My father is an extra class KS5A. Don't think they even have those anymore? He mainly does county hunting in morse code.

going to get bike this week and start looking how to in stall on it in the cb side of bike. for a good place to put rig in and hook it to my com center place so will hope to set up vid once i start install part. but keep me minde if any one has some bud or? that have done it.
I too am interested to find out if others have mounted a ham radio on their Spyder. I hope to make the purchase on an RT this month. I am a Technician class, the call is N4RFX. The radio installation is one of the few mods I am interested in. If anyone has succeeded in getting a radio on the Spyder I'd be interested in the radio make and model, antenna and a "How to" on getting it installed.

Anybody knows where i can do the test? there is nothing in Oklahoma:banghead:
Take a look at the link below. There are quite a few places around OK. You can search by zip code as well.

HI from N0HA
Thought I might try mounting and older Icom dual bander that has a
detachale head and put the main body of the radio in the trunk. I think a
mount for the head much like I see pictures here of mounted GPS's. Then
a simple 1/2 wave antenna on front or back. Not a lot of room on an RS.
Putting a Ham radio on a Spyder might be fun, but you have to power it somehow. The RT-S only puts out 600 Watts, and you have to run the bike on that to.
well got ham on rt-s. 1. had to up the 600 to 950 rect, that was best part. bmw works great in it place. 2. antennae is in the hole where cb should go. yes i have the cb in stall but only use it for the head set.but move the antenna to the back by lic plate holder. it to works great. 3 head sits in on top of dash 3. mic ties in to sound system via xm radio side ,made plug for it and works great.4. lots of time doing it, 5. had all side off and thats takes time really lots of time.6 Does it work??? yes.. works great on my mars system to. and cad side and sat side so now ,cant talk all day no drops win driving around. will put up vidos soon once i cut it down some.....3 weeks of work and vidos to. so now have find where to put my keyer on??? owell .. se ya all on the road soon when rain stops...:bowdown::clap:
firstshirt,
kd7jwe, i am going to mount mine on handle bars. Don't use it much so i will not mount it permently.
yes 600w but you put in isolator for 2 battry small on in left box and works great. brp dose have a 630w iam putting in to day to see how it will work. but on my bww police bike we have battreis and works great to. will see when done . right now all works great when stop for 12 hours can talk and no draine on main bat.:yes:

N7khh. I have been thinking it through. Audio/mic to helmet seems the bigest challenge.
