Mounting your antenna properly determines the range of your two-way radio. A metal roof with an antenna mounted in the center with no obstructions (roof rack, light bar) 18" in every direction provides the farthest range.

Roof Racks - Mount the antenna at the highest point of the rack. Use a no ground plane antenna.

No Roof - Pick a spot in the middle of the car. The intersection of two tubes can also act as a ground plane. Mounting the antenna to a corner triangle tab and using a no ground plane antenna will work best.

Do not run radio coax and intercom helmet cables in the same wire loom. RF can bleed over when transmitting, putting noise into the system. Never run coax or power cables near MSD or igniton equipment. They create noise and if the coax is too close to the MSD, transmitting can even power the vehicle off!

When tie wrapping the coax to the frame, do not crush the coax. If your coax looks flattened, kinked, frayed, or worn, replace it!

I bought it for a few reasons 1 it has a loaded base 2 on my daily driver I'm to lazy to remove my anteanna before going through carwash causing my old non spring loaded, non loaded base 1/4 wave to bend over, after a couple dozen washes it's bent down touching the roof of my truck cab causing my radio to freak out.

Not this one, it bends over & pops right back (although noisey as hell being mounted in my sheet metal roof)

Besides I've been buying quality radio's & components from these guys for over 35 years! Plus there at every race in Mexico where everything can go wrong.
It's nice to have communication equipment people that KNOW WHAT THERE DOING! while down there.
