How could I fry both the radio and strereo when the cooing fan keeps the unit just a cool if not cooler as when it was mounted out in the open with no forced air flow?  Have you tried this before and burned up a radio?  Perhaps if I was transmitting at 65W for several minutes at a time I would need to expand on the cooling system (more air flow), but that is not how I operate.

Ok, so I know this thread is over 4 years old now, but when I did a Google search IC-2200H dash mount a few days ago, this is the first result that appears.  That means that others who may be searching on ways to mount their 2200H or other mobiles are probably finding this thread as well.

I thought I would share my solution for dash mounting my IC-2200H.  I followed the links in this thread and while there were a lot of good ideas on K0BG's website, none really fit what I was wanting to do...mount the IC-2200H in the factory DIN slot.

My specific vehicle is a 2002 F-150.  The factory radio is a 1.5 DIN.  My goal was to mount a new single DIN stereo along with my 'single DIN' IC-2200H.  The results can be seen here...   http://www.mfielectronics.com/DINAdapter.htm  It required performing all of the usual steps in mounting a double-DIN device in a factory 1.5 DIN Ford slot which can be found by searching the internet (i.e. cutting away parts of the plastic sub-dash, etc).

I had the "DIN adapters" CNC machined from billet aluminum, and a black anodized aluminum trim plate (not shown in the photos) to cover the gaps around the sides of the radio.  I also installed a small, 12V cooling fan controlled by the ignition switch below the radio stack to keep air moving around the radio's heatsink.  There is also a remote speaker mounted out of sight under the dash since the audio was somewhat muffled after the radio was installed behind the dash.

I am very happy with the results.  The IC-2200H looks like it was factory installed!  If anyone is interested in doing the same for this radio or others that are small enough to fit a 2 x 7 opening, please contact me via email.

We have a Yaesu FT-2000 that is part of a amateur radio station at the company I work for (the radio equipment is mainly intended to support local disaster communications...non-business).  We recently moved the equipment from one building to another and are now experiencing a high level of noise on 80m (S9+20) and 40m (S9+10).  The noise sounds like an electric motor running through the speaker.  The coax feedlines run in a bundle through the building to an electrical service room, and then up 2 floors to the roof.  I suspect the noise is coming from a piece of equipment in the electrical service room (when entering the room I can hear a motor running at what sounds like the exact same RPM). 

I have read about electric motor noise in mobile installations and trying to fix the problem by installing filters in-line with the offending motor(s).  However, this would not be an option for us because the equipment I suspect is a large UPS for the building network servers.  Also, the path for the feedlines is fixed...there are no other routing options that our facilities management folks would even consider (like boring new holes through the floors).

Are there any other options to explore?

If this topic has been discussed elsewhere, I was unsuccessful in finding it.  If so, could someone point me to the right place or suggest some alternate search keywords?

Thanks!

Has anyone figured out anything new about this problem?  My TS-2000 has the same problem after about 2-3 minutes of warm-up.  The problem lasts about 4-5 minutes before clearing up.  The 'noise' is most pronounced on 2m FM, and can reach levels of S9+60.
