IPingUPing Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 Hi all, New 2011 Ford Edge owner here. I am also a ham radio operator. I am wondering if any other Edge owners are hams and how they might have mounted antennas and rigs? I have a Yaesu FTM-350M I would like to put into the crossover. Thanks! - Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurdele Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 Did you install your radio in your Edge? I would be interested in hearing how you did it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickRed Posted September 29, 2011 Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 Did you install your radio in your Edge? I would be interested in hearing how you did it. I used a mag mount near the rear of the roof for a few months. I ran the wire in through the grommet used for the rear washer fluid hose. I did need to cut a small notch in the grommet to make space for the antenna wire. I puled the back hatch weather strip loose to feed the wire in and around to the rear seat area, where I have the radio installed. I have a PDF file that goes through everything, including the radio head installation, if members are interested. I did end up installing a permanent antenna above the rear dome light using a 3/4 inch hole and MNO mount. Rick - WA8UMT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
