the radio I am using was built to be able to use the 12v outlet on a vehicle. I plan on hard wiring it and getting separate radio for my car. I just looked under my front passenger seat and I have a positive and negative wire lugs that come straight from the battery.

I am installing my GMRS radio in my ranger 1000.my radio is going to be installed under the passenger bench seat. then I will run the mic/ control head through the seat box. I think I have a pretty good plan but, my question is. I have a fused wiring harness is there any reason I shouldn't just catch my power right from the 12 volt battery? that way the power will be clean power. the radio is a Retevis RA86, 20 Watt GMRS Radio.

I used to live in mentor on the lake, before I met my wife and moved.

I live in mogadore Ohio, near Ravenna. I am new to gmrs but I very rarely hear anything
