  4. Detailed Radio Install Project - Midland MXT575 GMRS & Icom IC-2730A Ham Radio

    Good to hear. That looks like a wideband antenna for VHF/UHF. If you do find that RX/TX is limited (usually when you are not in line-of-sight to the person you are talking to) try elevating the antenna so the base is above the hood panel and sits where there is a open path between the antenna...

    Thanks! Which antenna did you go with? Good to hear on the aux switch wiring. Chasing down power line noise or RF interference can be a hassle sometimes.

    I just looked at the sPod page and it looks like the model I have (Bantam X) does have circuit timer functionality but it requires their Pro-Series mobile app. I honestly didn't even think about that. I had the shutdown timer and the rest of the equipment in my TJ so I moved it all over to...

    No, haven't had any issues with buzzing, interference or RF interference as well.

    There is a grommet to the right of the brake master cylinder. I passed the wires through the firewall there but I didn’t add any tape. Just cut an opening in the grommet large enough to pull the wires through. I did run the antenna wires thought there as well. It is hard to see in the photos...

    I never got around to editing the videos but I’m happy to answer any questions you have on the install.

    @lugmoretreble Looks great, nice work! Glad the write-up helped you with the project, that is exactly the reason why I posted it. Good call on APRS as well!

    @lugmoretreble My JT does not have the factory aux switches, but it does have an sPOD BantamX switch panel. I used one of the switches on the panel in place of a single SPST switch and it works perfectly. From a few searches it looks like the factory aux switches may work (I'm basing this on...

    Here are some photos from the rest of my install. Originally I was planning on mounting the radio bodies on the panel that is behind the rear seats. After reading several posts on this forum about people not being able to remove the panel without breaking it or the plastic retaining clips that...

    SWR meter is correct - I picked up this one off Amazon and it works well for 2m/70cm/GMRS frequencies. You will need a short coax jumper to connect to the radio antenna terminal on one end and the TX port on the SWR meter for the other end. The coax to the antenna connects to the SWR meter's...

    I just realized that the link was wrong - sorry about that. This is the Larsen antenna you want for the GMRS radio. It does work well with GMRS and it doesn't require a ground plane. It is the antenna I am using as well...

    Step 3 - Install the Vector Off Road Contour e-Dock. Overall the install is easy and straight forward, but there are a couple of things to watch out for that I caught in the video. Once all the hardware is tightened down it's very solid and doesn't move at all. Part Link: JLE-Dock /...

    Awesome, thanks!! I would like the part numbers and will send you a DM.
  17. On board air: what’s it going to cost me all in ?

    Any chance you could share some photos or part numbers of your install? I have a dual compressor with the manifold and would like to run on-board air in addition to air for the front and rear lockers. Any info would be much appreciated!

    Step 2 - I am going to mount the power/fuse distribution block and the Lind shutdown timer underneath the passenger seat. I didn't want to drill directly into the floor, so made a mounting bracket out of 16 gauge steel sheet metal and painted it black. On the left hand side underneath the...

    Thanks @Radio Guy - I figured someone would jump in on the ground plane aspect. This is why I went with the Larsen NMO 2/70B and Larsen NMO 450CHW (GRMS for Midland radio) antennas - they both are 1/2 wave antennas that do not require a ground plane. They both also several dB gain (5.5 dB for...

    If you mount the 575 antenna on the passenger side next to the FM radio antenna, when you key up the 575 at full power it could interfere with the FM radio signal if the radio is on. I didn’t listen to the FM radio much in my TJ, so it wasn’t really an issue. Basically the 575 signal could...
