I installed a Uniden Bearcat in my 100 a few years ago and have barely used it since I got my HAM license. Bought a Yaesu handheld and a Comet magnetic antenna and have been impressed with the superior sound quality. Mounted the CB in my center console powered by the outlet and ran the coax through the firewall and mounted a firestix antenna on the passenger side of the hood.
If I purchase a Yaesu radio for the truck, how much of the work I did can be reused for the HAM? I assume I need a different antenna, but do the connectors on the coax work for HAM as well?
Saw some Yaesu units that come with a magnetic antenna, but I wonder if I can use the Comet I bought for the Handheld Yaesu?
Thanks,
Todd
