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

16 Jan, 2023

After years of intensive research by the automotive industry, a new standard refrigerant for late model vehicles has been developed - R1234yf (OpteonTM YF). R1234yf has been chosen as the more environmentally safe solution with an Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP) of 0.0 and a Global Warming Potential (GWP) of only 4. That is 335 times less than that of R134a! Automotive Electrical Designs can supply and install the new R1234yf air con gas to your vehicle in our service centre.
