Where I put my UHF

[Snaga Wishing I was lost Find all posts View Profile Close Snaga]

With a couple of threads on where to locate UHF radios I thought I'd take a quick pic and stick it up here.

I didn't do the install myself... but,

:arrow: The back of the coin pocket was cut out so the GME TX3200 would fit neatly in the recess.

:arrow: Power was taken from a cig lighter so only on when acc. are on.

:arrow: Aerial cable runs through a small grommet in the passenger side firewall and the aerial is mounted to the first bolt forward of the bonnet hinges by a RH bracket on the passenger side. It was put on the opposite side to the radio aerial as apparently they can effect each other and sometimes cause damage to the UHF radio.

:arrow: Mic bracket is attached with the supplied screws into the plastic radio surrounds and is accessible by driver or passenger very easily.

I have found no need for an external speaker as the built in one can be heard quite clearly in most environments.



Hope it helps...

Thanks guys,

Looking at the pic now... I think I might need to clean the inside sometimes... not just the mud off the outside ops:

bit of contrast never hurt anyone! nothing like walkint up to a nice shiny car that has crap all over the floor mats, brings it back to reality!

Re: Where I put my UHF

I bought a small Uniden UHF and mounted it on the side of the console. Still plenty of legroom but easy to access to change channels etc. I ran a fused wire from the battery so its on whenever we need it.

Re: Where I put my UHF

I mounted mine in the ash tray holder just remove the ash tray bend up a mild steel plate with a 45 degree bend and use existing screws to fit this way it can be removed and ash tray returned if you sell

Re: Where I put my UHF

I have a GME 3600 and have put the radio bit under the passenger seat and the front panel in the place where the ash tray was. As I don't smoke it works for me. Down under the dash was too hard to see.
