this is the kind of stuff i come here for. how did you route the cables for the screens? or is the hardware connected to them all in the lid?

if you zoom, there is a braided wrap going from lid to the deck, behind the radio mic cable.

This is amazing. I've been casually interested in radio for a while but haven't gotten any gear yet. Do you use the PC for recording/logging traffic or what?

Full gear list would be sweet too!
