The trunk mount would have worked well also, but I had other needs for the 12V up front, and did not want to run speaker and conrol cables to the rear. Instead, I had to run 12V and antenna to the rear.

Installation is not that hard. It was easy to run and hide a thick (for the 10A current) 12V cable from the trunk to the front. Steve K2PBO

hydbob: Thanks. will the existing threads appear under that? Steve K2PBO

Borski: Thanks as usual. Steve K2PBO

That's fine. Lucid hams without installations can comment, and we can get their call letters. Borski - What are the steps to get this going, whatever we call it?

You can add a Sirius/XM tuner with its own Sat. Antenna on the dash, looking up through the window..

BORSKI: Suggest we call it LUCID HAMS, since some folks might be hams but have not installed equipment in their cars. What are the steps to get this going, whatever we call it?

Borski: Could we start a thread called LUCID HAMS and move our stuff into there? Thanks!

Thanks for the info. 4 Lucid Hams is not bad. I worked on lots of ARC-5's as a kid. They were $10 new at radio row in NY. I think I still have some parts here. Enjoy your AIR. I love mine more every day, especially the days after AA arrived. I have reached a truce with the locking wizard.

Nice! I wonder how many other Lucid Hams there are out there? In case you are worried about EMP, here is a pix of vacuum tube ARC-5's from WW II in a car.

I made it out of parts in my junkbox. Check Amazon and ham radio sites.

I use the kind of suction cup that has a lever to remove the air. Its fairly reliable and has only come loose once, when I brushed a bush in my driveway. The parts are coated metal or plastic and caused no damage.

I'm also a ham. I have a 2025 Air PURE. My IC - 208H works well sitting behind the screen, fed with 12V from the trunk. I solved the antenna problem by using a suction cup from an old HP GPS mount. Thin coax is fed through trunk lid seam. All works better than the 6 M Saturn 6 Halo on my 56...

As a representative of the NERD and math/science folks, who buy things based on technology and Specs, I found the Adv. fun to watch, but useless.

V2L should be much easier than V2H, uses some similar parts, and would be very useful to run a Refrig. during a power failure. Why not do it first? The Gravity already has the needed technology available.

Here is where I tried this in my 63 T-Bird.

Great photo! I had mine delivered to my driveway from Miami via enclosed trailer (included in original $1500 delivery charge). That's me in the photo at the left with my 56 Merc. and Ham radio antenna. My Lucid has a more modest Ham antenna. I only use the key fob, so wired in a larger...

I have a 2025 Pure on Hilton Head, and also no lease. Best parts of car are drive, library quiet, appearance, and all the cameras to help get in/out of parking spaces and garage. Worst parts (NOT deal killers) are flakey key fob and door handles not always popping out when pushed in. The car is...
