I've owned 38 Jeeps since 1972. My 2021 is my 3rd Rubicon. Would not buy anything other than a Rubicon

Well I have all 71 badges now. When I had 60 I took them off and moved them to my new Jeep. Its not fun. If they are on glass, its easier than if the are on paint. On glass, a steel paint scraper about an inch and a half wide takes them off with a little bit of effort. On paint a...

Here are my 71 earned over 9 years with 4 Jeeps as shown on the 4 Wheel Camper on my Gladiator. The original 42 chrome ones are on my JK Rubicon.

Have mine on the passenger side mounted to the side of the center console closest to the front so it is easy to get to.

I just found my receipt for the switcher I have. The company makes their products in the USA and the Miliary uses their stuff I tried a couple of the Chinese made ones and found that they did not have self cleaning components and keeping the internals clean is paramount to peak performance...

One more thing. You can't use a T and have two antennas connected at the same time. You'll have all kinds of tranmit issues and might seriously damage your radio. You need a switcher to keep the two antennas separated

You can connect them and choose which on you want to use by buying an antenna switcher. They have cheap ones which can fail do be sure to buy the $100 made in America military grade switcher. I've found over the last 4 years that the Ghost antenna doesn't perform well unless it is mounted at...

I have 3 GMRS antennas. In my Gladiator Overland rig, I have an MXT500 with over 100 repeaters programmed in. A high end ham antenna switcher running to a Midland 3db Bull Bar mounted center of roof on a RhinoRack cross bar. the 2nd line runs to the front bumper and a Midland 6.6db gain 49...

If it were a bad mic it would be like that all the time. Woukd be rare for two people with new radios to both have mic issues.

The 275 puts out 15 watts. Right on his bumper I guess it is possible but with my 50 watt I can be within a few feet and can transmit no issues. Several car lengths should no be an issue no matter what the power output (I've talked 2m ham 100 watts a car length or two no distortion) As for...

Being that close with a 15 watt radio normally will not cause that kind of "choppiness" I have the 50 watt MXT575 and can talk to the Jeep in front of me with no issues. I'm using the new Midland 4ft 6.6db gain Bull Bar antenna mounted on the front bumper, passenger side. When I used my...

Your issue is NOT your radio but where you have the antenna mounted. Your transmit signals are being blocked not only by the spare tire but also your Jeep. I would be surprised if you can transmit clearly for more than a mile, maybe less. My club has bought over 200 MXT275s since they came...

Well if you are not going off road the best one that will hold its value would be the Sahara. However if you are looking for long term and you drive less than 30 miles a day the 4Xe. Off reading the only choice for the person that isn't looking to mod for crazy trails is the Rubicon. Having...

Thanks, that is what I thought. I hate these damn pop up ads on here, had trouble replying as the ads hid the navigation bar

So disconnect a negative cable at the main battery? Which one?

And yet their product is superior in quality to off brands just like Midland, Kenwood and others because they are designed and developed in America with existing parts specifications. Companies like TYT, Wouxom, Baufeng, BTect and others are normally rip offs of other companies designs made...

I've installed dozens of these and my club has bought over 200 of the MXT275. the 275 is the number one selling GMRS mobile radio in the country and outsells the Chinese designed and made Wouxon probably 1000 to 1. We've had ZERO issues with the 275 and Ive found that when someone does have...

The VP4 kit comes with what you see on the box including a universal roof rack mount, 6 meter cable, Ghost antenna and also the magnetic antenna. Not sure why the magnetic antenna is included because many newer Jeeps, JLs and JTs included, do not have any horizontal magnetic metal to attach it...

I am pretty sure your static is due to the type of antenna and where it is mounted. Optimal location for the stubby is on top of the roof using a roof rack mount where it has a clear 360 view of the horizons...........................

This is a bad location for this type of antenna. Your signal is being blocked by the Jeep to the right side, best on the left side. Might work OK in a small group but your 15 or 50 wall radio is being wasted by the wrong antenna in the wrong locagtion. Where as you might have reached out...
