GMRS (General Mobile Radio Service) Thread

Did you notice any difference when you switch antennas from NGP to GP?

 

Toyota Tundra Antenna Mount 2008-2021 (bulletproofdiesel.com)


pretty sweet..

Not $500 sweet though..

 

another option is https://www.evilmanufacturing.com/lights/dirt-kartel-2007-toyota-tundra-3rd-brake-light-mount

Little less expensive, give you options for BD S2s for rear facing lights...

 

looks nice, id rather not drill holes in my truck...

 

Did anyone explore this solution? Looks like complete kit that will mount your radio and antenna and no drilling. About to drop the ball on the G1 with that special discount.

practically all the antennas mount that way for GMRS; you'll still have to get the antenna outside the cab somehow; I went through a rubber plug in the floor.

 

yeah thats not a issue already route some lights cables through the firewall but I was referring the brand / model... will give a test drive anyway

 

Got into the GMRS game a while back.

Between this and MURS, there isn’t a reason to get your HAM license.

GMRS is for talking to your friends while doing stuff, HAM is for making contacts with strange old men

 

Had this on my f150. Worked great. Really liked having the antenna up on the roof.

however with the only 3rd gen option $1k, I’m going to stick with my fender mount and let it go.

While some people do like chatting with others, I’m pretty sure there are a whole bunch of people with ham licenses that like to hone their skill and see how far signals can reach given propagation. You can speak globally, even to the international space station with HAM.. sure as hell can’t do that with GMRS

 

So just ordered the G1 kit ... now HAM sounds tempting but doubt it anything that powerful will be compact i think my father in law just got his HAM license I might talk to him to built a channel later down the road

 

yeah sorry, rugged radios is good, I would trust it; but I'd also watch a youtube video on it
