Mirror-Mounted Two-Way Radio for a 200 Series LandCruiser With No Bull Bar

GME XRS two-way UHF radio installation

This 200 Series Landcruiser did not have a bull bar to mount the UHF aerial for the GME XRS two-way radio.

It was installed to a designated-fit mounting bracket in front of the left hand mirror. A universal RJ45 pass through socket was used for easy removal of the hand controller/mic.

What is the difference between UHF CB and 27 MHz?

The Citizen Band Radio Service (CBRS) is a two-way, short distance, voice communications service that provides a cheap, reliable means of communication.
The service operates in two frequency bands:
27 MHz (AM transmission) and 477 MHz UHF CB (FM transmission with clear, crisp local communication without long-distance interference.)

What are the most common UHF CB channels to use?

There are a total of 80 channels available with UHF CB
Ch 5 - only for emergencies
Ch 11 - the officially designated call channel to link up with specific people before moving off to another channel to communicate
Ch 22-23 are designated telemetry/Selcall channels; voice transmission is inhibited as per AS/NZS (08) 9331 6996
Ch 1~8; 31~38 - for communicating with repeaters;; radio must be used in duplex mode
