Mike,

That is the next item on my list of purchases.  It seems to be the most 
logical next thing to get for this set up.  I heard from the installer and 
he needs one more day to finish it up minus the Hi Q which I am waiting on 
to arrive from Woody in Temecula.

It should be a pretty epic mobile system.

Hi Keith ,

I also use the HamLog/Pigtail combo for portable operations and recommend 
it, it works very well. I'm looking forward to seeing pictures of your 
installation!
