I had the radios all loose on my desk so the thought was not only to mount them but to mount them so I could use them as a Go Box.

Radios:
1 HF Yaesu FT-890
1 UHF/VHF Icom 2820
1 Scanner Uniden BCD996XT

Radio Power usage to make sure the 30 amp power supply will work.
Radio ideal transmit
HF 2 20
VHF/UHF 2 13
Scanner 2

Box is a rack mounted type Gator 6U
1 2U draw
West mountain power gate.
5 port Rig Runner
1 rack Self
power supply Alinkco DM-330mv
Cost = $ 713.83

Antenna I am thinking about getting.
VHF/UHF Comet CA-2x4SRNMO
HF Vertical 10, 15, 20, 30, 40, 80 Hustler 6-BTV $220
Scanner I have one.

Need a Light stand to hold antenna's.
Need feed line to run out to the antenna's

The Gator Box was ordered from www.sweetwater.com/ This link should take you to the box. www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/GR6L/

If you do not add the drawer, you only will need a 4U box. I wanted a place to keep the radio manuals and other odds and ends.
