Installing a mobile radio in your vehicle can be a challenging but rewarding project. Join Zachary Sherman, KC1NXK, as he presents “Mobile Radio Installation Techniques and Tricks” at the 2026 Northeast HamXposition.
Using examples from his own installations, Zachary will demonstrate techniques for cleanly installing mobile radios and other electronic accessories in vehicles.
Long before he heard of amateur radio, Zachary enjoyed playing with FRS walkie-talkies with friends. Sent home from Olin College due to COVID, he became a Technician licensee in September 2020. Zachary soon became a co-leader of the Olin Collegiate Amateur Radio Club, helping students earn their radio licenses then volunteer for public service events. Zachary graduated in 2023 and now works as a biomedical engineer. Zachary enjoys community amateur radio events at New England Sci-Tech in Natick, MA, making contacts via the ISS repeater, studying for his General license test, and working on his mobile radio installation. He is currently president of the Sci-Tech Amateur Radio Society (STARS).
