Have you thought about how to mount the antenna on your minivan?
My solution was to fabricate a plate that mounted IN the tow receiver.
The plate was triangular in shape .. rounded corners .. and I used a
3-magnet mount with the antenna in the center of the mount.
Used Hustler antennas .. with my own version of 3-bands-on-one-mast.
Worked like a charm!
As for a mobile transceiver .. my preference would be the FT-100D.
Your FT-706 would be my next choice, with the TS-50S a close third.
Good luck .. and you'll find that you will have minimal noise problems
with the Dodge! [I now drive a Dodge Intrepid after two Dodge Caravans]

>> Ok I appreciate the replies on the B&W. Next question. I am going to Dayton hopefully this year and will be looking for an HF mobile and antenna. I would like to keep my installation simple. I have considered an Alinco DX-70th with the iron horse mono band antennas. I own an Icom 706 mkII g that I use as my primary base station but have no experience with the Yaesu FT 100d or the Kenwood TS 50. I have read reviews on the Alinco saying the noise blanker is terrible. I drive a Dodge Caravan mini van where the installation will be. By the way I have read extremely good reviews on the Iron horse antennas. TIA
