    I'm a technician as well. KD7SII, down in AZ. I wonder how many Spyder riders on here are Ham's?

    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.

    Default Interested in Spyder Ham Radio Installation

    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.

    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.

    Default Ham Radio and Spyder

    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.

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