Radios in my Jeep

[WQOK964]

Picked up a Jeep a few months ago finally got the radios installed. 
 

Icom-2730a (Black) for the ham stuff.  Antenna is a Larsen 2/70B 

Motorola XTL5000 with W3 head for the GMRS, Ham P25 and FD stuff. Antenna is a PCTEL (B)MWU4002S

I used the fender mounts by Topsy.

Get those stupid ducks off the dash!  That's an embarrassment to real Jeepers!

My kids likes the ducks and my oldest likes to trade ducks so they stay.

I never did understand the whole duck on the dash thing.

I don't want anything on the dash that could go flying around in an accident, even a rubber duck.

Nice job on the radio install. The 2730B is nice as the black screen is easy to see in all light conditions.

I totally agree, it makes the dash look so ghetto like a hoarder would do. Jeeps are not for hoarding, they are for wheeling.

I don't recall if there was any chassis ground continuity at those bolts or not. In anycase, just to be on the safe side so the radios don't get interfered by the vehicle or the radios do not interfere with the vehicle on-board systems, disconnect the coax cable from both radios and then check and see if you have chassis ground continuity at the antenna brackets. If you don't it is highly recommended that you run a grounding strap from a chassis ground source to both brackets.

As it was told to me, it started somewhere in Canada during COVID. Some lady put a rubber ducky on some other ladies Jeep to encourage her or something. Took off from there.

As to the radio installs, well done, OP. Not a lot of room for radios in the Jeep.

"Some people" might think otherwise.
