WSGR548 Posted July 30 Report Posted July 30 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 Quote
WRYZ926 Posted July 30 Report Posted July 30 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. WSGR548 1 Quote
OffRoaderX Posted July 30 Report Posted July 30 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.

WSGR548 Posted July 30 Author Report Posted July 30 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 Quote

Probably not allowed here, but I find gunfire generally tends to drive those folks away. Not in their direction mind you. WSGR548 1 Quote
gortex2 Posted 4 hours ago Report Posted 4 hours ago In both our SXS on the farm we use them idland mobile. Simple, cheap and just works. They are covered in mud dust and other stuff all the time, I hose off vehicle once month and dont worry. Run 1/4 wave on a pipe mount bracket on both. SteveShannon and WRYZ926 2 Quote
WRYZ926 Posted 3 hours ago Report Posted 3 hours ago I would definitely go with a radio that has an IP rating for dust and water. Everything is going to get wet or dusty even with enclosed cabs. WSGR548, WRUU653 and SteveShannon 2 1 Quote
