Turns out my jumper cable was crap and my new one yielded better results. Ch1-7 4 watts and 1.01 SWR, ch15-22 14 watts and 1.03 SWR, ch15-22 repeater 14 watts, 1.1 to 1.3 SWR. I had a noticeable alternator whine when receiving. The only receiving I can do right now is the weather channels, no...

Im going to TN this weekend and have offroad lights. Do any of these states require the offroad lights to be covered when not in use on the public roadways?

Im going to start at the basement and start off with a new jumper cable and get a dummy load. I switched back to running the power for the Midland through my Voswitch and have the same results. 1.0 SWR across the board. With the Midland directly wired to the battery I kept hearing the base...

Surecom SW-102 and a standard foot long jumper coax cable.

Only 10 watts on the high channels is a bit concerning since I have seen videos on Youtube with people getting up to 13-14 with the cigarette lighter plug and me only getting mid to high 7s on the repeater channels.

I'm taking a trip to TN next week from FL. Just to make sure I read the gun laws correctly you can carry concealed in your vehicle? I have a FL CCW but also realize TN has constitutional carry.

Like I said I am new. Right now, I have the inline fuse coming off of the battery and routed through a grommet in the firewall and to the radio. Should I switch to 16ga wire coming off the battery and move the inline fuse closer to the radio? How do I test the wattage like you suggested?

I installed a Midland MXT275 and ran the power through my Voswitch. I did a watt output check with the vehicle running and on ch 1-7 got 5 watts, on ch 15-22 got 11 watts, on ch 15-22 repeaters I got mid to high 7 watts. SWR ON 1-7 is 1.0, on ch 15-22 is 1.01, and 15-22 repeater is 1.1 to 1.5. I...

Can you ground a CB antenna in the same spot where an electronic device is grounded?

GMRS and CB being installed on Friday. I ordered the Midland MXT275 bundle from CoolTech which included their antenna mount and ordered an additional mount for the CB antenna. I want to use the front cowl bolt location to mount the antennas to keep them away from the windshield frame just in...

Finally picked my final configuration of lights and what controls them. I had a six switch Voswitch JL300 and upgraded to an eight switch Voswitch JL800 where the control panel mounts to the grab handle making it a ton easier to access. From top to bottom 1-Diode Dynamic SS3 white sport driving...

If I am running a GMRS radio, mostly likely going to be a Midland MXT275 15w, with a CB; can both be on and not interfere with the other if the antennas are on opposite sides of the vehicle? Also, does having a CB antenna close to the AM/FM antenna get any interference if the radio is not on AM...

Did you have to lengthen the positive and negative wires? I have the JL300 currently installed and want to upgrade to the JL800 and mount it on the drivers side.

I've been pondering the idea of running a CB and GMRS radio. I have some road trips in mind for next year and want an extra layer of communication. The CB I am looking at is the Midland 75-822 and GMRS is one of the Midlands, MXT575 or MXT275 with a ghost antenna. In my research I found the...

What is the part number for the foam tape that goes on the freedom panel? Specifically the front passenger side. I looked at all the diagrams and the only thing that comes up is a foam block. The pic is of the drivers side. Im trying to fix a leak myself and my passenger side one is messed up...

Im thinking about getting a 5 spot ground block for all my lights and winch isolator. 5 negative wires on the chassis ground looks like a cluster. With everything on at one time im looking at 25amps max, probably be rare all on at one time. Would 10 gauge work?

Was surprised FedEx delivered on a Sunday so I put on my VisionX rear bumper lights. I bought some red reflective tape to replace the plastic reflectors. Easy install. I ran the harness ontop of the passenger side frame rail and used long and thick zip ties to secure the harness. I got to see if...

Re-routed my Voswitch power wires and made my own aux switch wiring harness and mounts for both. Instead of wiring any future lights one by one, which are on order, I will already have the power wires ran. I have the Voswitch with 6 spots. Each one got their own color power wire just like the...

Made it ready for the pavement.

No, AC Delco I ordered from Walmart. Ive never used the electric before on those posts. I always use manual ratchets.
