I strongly disagree, but since you don't seem to mind the posting of questions 
regarding other topics....

Beginning of exaggerated nonsense post:
 
I have a question for the group:

I have two K3's and I would like to know in the opinion of the group on which 
side my John Deere tractor cab should I mount my K3.  Should I mount on the 
left side just to the left of the oil pressure gauge or on the right just to 
the right of tachometer?


I'm kind of leaning towards the left side because there are binding posts the 
for accessories there.  The wires on the binding post appear #4 wire.  Would 
that be heavy enough to handle the transmit amperage draw from the K3?

While I'm at it could you tell me where I should mount the antenna and what 
brand you recommend for mounting on a tractor.  If I mount the antenna on the 
top of the cab just above the front window frame, will the windshield wipers 
have an affect on TX or RX purity?

Also I wonder if someone can tell me what sort of noise filtering I should 
install and where I should put it.  The tractor is a diesel, but it does have 
an electrical system that runs the computers, which brings to mind whether my 
K3 will interfere with the computer and the gauges on the dash.  Can anyone 
help me decide what to do about that?  It might even be dangerous, so if anyone 
know's the answers to my questions, please email me via the list.

End of nonsense post:

Thre is a simple one line polite non-agressive answer to a post like the one 
above.  Can anyone guess what it is?

Thanks and have a nice day,
73,
