  • UHF power pick up

    G'day all

    Where is a good place for power pick up for a UHF in 2003 diesel. I installed it with power coming direct from battery positive but I'd prefer it coming from somewhere in the accessory circuit so I don't leave it on one day. The unit is mounted on the drivers side of centre console

    Cheers

    If it wasn't for the last minute..I'd get nothing done done!

    the most easy pick up would be off the cig lighter, just earth it to some of the metal dash support framework. You can then leave it on and it will power up when you turn to acc.

      either off the cigerette lighter socket, or even better and easier (access) is the power socket below your ashtray.

        The winscreen wiper under the hood would be better wouldnt it?
        I am sure I have used that pickup on another car.

          Hi Terible,
          It is far better to run a fused connection from the battery less lickleyhood of RF interference from wipermotor etc.
          I have left my UHF on for 4 days whith the vehicle unattended and it started no problems I now use the Aux battery to power the UHF.

            Dear Teribul,
            I question why you want to only have your radio on when you have the ignition on. I find that it is a bonus to be able to put it on when stationary because you can have a person with a handheld away from the camp site and I can monitor it from the site. with the ignition on, the draw on the battery would be substantially increased.
