Nice install!
It is a bit hard to tell due to the size of the pic, but the GME mic on the left (in the second pic) looks like it is connected to the mic of the 2020, is that right

So Nathan, what is your opinion of the on glass antennas?
How well do they work out in the sticks where you live?

Your boot antenna install looks great.
I had real issues with cables not staying in place and id end up crimping and cutting the cable or not closing the boot.
Out of interest which brand glass mount are they and where did you get them from as im chasing a few from RFI but think they will blow the budget.
