There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Could you bake a ham under the Tupperware on a long trip?

Yepper!
Yaesu VX-8 weatherproof talkie, good for voice comms and APRS.
Yaesu FTM-10 2m/70cm weatherproof mobile radio.
My 1/2 wave 2m/70cm mobile antenna elevated on a fiberglass stick that I usually use on my bicycles for Public Service events. I have a Diamond (or Comet?) stick-on NMO mount that will go on the other side from the broadcast whip.
Closeup of the temporary antenna mount held by a square u-bolt to the trailer hitch.
35 watt 2m/70cm amplifier with battery in a rain resistant box, for the talkie. I did not have the FTM-10 mobile radio at that time.
Talk-listen-PTT via Bluetooth on my Sena 20s in the helmet through a Sena SR10 wired to the radio(s).
Questions? Just ask!!

I can carry one but won't use it while driving the Spyder. Will use in the truck though. I also have a HF rig in the truck.
I did earn my High Altitude Member patch this past Summer after the owner's event in Durango by cruising up Mt. Mitchel in CO. It's called the HAM Program by the CC Riders Motorcycle Club.

Yaesu HT in the rear trunk. Too busy trying to dodge 4 wheelers who are out to kill me to use it in motion.

Hi, KA2PFL and N2GUU here.
This is the Ham radio on our 2015 RTL. The Radio is installed in the trunk (so I do not fiddle while Spydering down the road). :trike:
The antenna is mounted here with a metal plate under it for strength.
It was installed above the Chicken Band hole so it would line up with the AM/FM antenna like this. I took the photo at an angle, but side on both antennas are in line.
The radio is connected to a Sena SR10 mounted here. I wired the PTT to the Spyders PTT switch on the handlebar.
It works great, but kind of missing the 30 watts of a mobile dual bander.

Been there Done that!
Yaesu FTM-10 and Diamond 1/2 wave dual band antenna. Wired into the factory PTT button, and uses either Scala G9S or SENA 20S Bluetooth head sets.

Nice neat install! I like where you mounted the radio chassis. I cannot do that as the 2015 has a second fuse block there
Does the antenna mount screw to the side of the trunk where I cannot see?

The antenna mount is a cut down Diamond stick on mount. I cut it down and used the 3M adhesive tape activator and stuck it over the spot where the 2nd factory antenna would have been.
Here's the mount data : http://www.diamondantenna.net/pdfdocs/HRKS.pdf
