Not sure if those nav/weather units tie well into a laptop, but there's a great RAM laptop mount available for the H3...

Hey Rob.. Well, actually, I was planning on installing that RAM laptop mount that you are speaking of after the radios are installed. I like this method because it is a no-drill installation and seems durable. It seems to serve the purpose better than anything I've seen or think of so far. You are correct that I can aquire doppler from the laptop and with the new broadband networks online, it should give me a lot more options such as synchronization with my amateur radio, monitoring radio nets, immediate posting of vids and photos to a web site, instant messaging, access to NOAA etc..

I haven't gotten this down to a science and have lots to learn such as what to look for using doppler radar. Currently, I just know the basics. By the time spring arrives, I should have enough knowledge to give it a shot.

Thanks for your tips Dew
