@jjvw did you decide on a radio?
@bobthetj03 @jjvw
How’s the volume on those units? My biggest complaint about the Midland MXT-115 is even with the volume maxed out sometimes it’s still to low to hear.
Thank you. I can barely hear mine with windows down. Might be time to upgrade.I can hear it ok while driving on the highway without doors. better than my CB.
The remote speakers are fairly inexpensive as another option.Thank you. I can barely hear mine with windows down. Might be time to upgrade.
Or get an intercom system if money isn’t an issueThe remote speakers are fairly inexpensive as another option.
I have kicked that idea around. Just hate to add more clutter in my cab.The remote speakers are fairly inexpensive as another option.
Yeah, I was gifted one a while back I never used. I finally ran the wire up the sport bar and between the front seats (I’ll likely move it to just by the driver side ear for a cleaner cab look).I have kicked that idea around. Just hate to add more clutter in my cab.
You using one?
On my Midland 275 I run a remote speaker mounted on the windshield frame just above the rear view mirror. It puts the sound right at ear level. I run the remote speaker and the mic speaker concurrently, and that does a good job even with the top off. I can even hear it over the screams of my passengers…Some of these radios have a speaker in the base unit and one in the mic as well. That is a nice feature for a Jeep envirnment.
GMRS License is FCC law regardless of whether repeaters are used. 10yr, $70, covers ENTIRE family; in laws, cousins, grandkids...If you decide to access repeaters, you need to buy a GMRS licence to be legal, and buy a part 95E compliant radio for GMRS. As you likely know by now, having watched Randy's videos, a uv5r is a Ham radio, and not legal to transmit on GMRS frequencies.
