What comms are you running for utvs

What communication are you all running for utvs.  My current setup is just the simple HA1G. 

 

I'm wanting to set up my current setup. Let's see them 

[WRYZ926]

I'm currently running a TYT TH-8600, Comet 2x4SR antenna and a Midland SPK100 20 watt speaker. Before switching to the TYT TH-8600 I was running a Wouxun KG-XS20G. I have a modified expanded metal hitch rack mounted on the back of my Honda Pioneer which provides a good ground plane for the 2x4SR.

The reason for the Wouxun KG-XS20G and TYT TH-8600 is that they are IP rated for dust and water. The Midland SPK-100 allows me to hear the radio over the engine and road noise even when cruising at 35 MPH down gravel roads.

Many people use the Midland models that are fully water/dust proof and have the built-in intercom port/plugs in them.  They also have a simple screen and simple controls (only 1 or 2 knobs) - which is useful when plowing through vegetation and animal habitats at unsafe speeds while drinking beer with the music blasting at full volume.

When i had my Jeep i had a Midland MXT 575..  It stayed with the Jeep..  I loved that radio and i want it back.   I even like it over my current Hytera HM782.. Well almost.

I thought that when you buy a UTV/SidebySide it was in the purchase contract that you must turn up the over-powered stereo volume to full-blast whenever within 5000 yards of other people trying to enjoy nature.

Geez. Well I don't have that option. Mines for the farm and family to ride in. We go down to Hatfields a couple of times a year.   I never understood those people playing loud music hard to hear your vehicle if breakage happens

Probably not allowed here, but I find gunfire generally tends to drive those folks away.  Not in their direction mind you.
