Overview
Farm crews and convoy drivers get a small GMRS mobile radio that plugs into the twelve volt socket, so it moves between trucks in seconds. Mount it with the bracket, hang the microphone, and use repeaters to reach over hills.
Plug in power and a compact body make it easy to share across a fleet, and repeater channels extend reach in rough country. It is not water resistant, so open buggies need cover.
Who it's for
Ranch hands, convoy leaders and RV travelers will use the plug and play setup. Open side off road buggies need a weather sealed radio.
Pros and cons
- No wiring with lighter plug
- Readable in sunlight
- FM radio built in
- Not water resistant
- Range depends on terrain
- Antenna details not listed
Performance notes
Range depends on antenna placement, terrain and repeater access, which is why repeater channels help in hills and woods. The compander and squelch settings cut background noise from engines. Plug in power avoids wiring but relies on a firm socket connection.
