UHF350DR Dual Receive UHF CB Radio: Unleashing Dual Power

Our star of the show is the UHF350DR, a dual receive UHF CB radio that packs a punch. Offering a powerful 5W output and the ability to receive on two channels simultaneously, it's the perfect companion for our 4WD adventures. The lengthy handheld controller ensures easy access to volume control, scanning options, and more, all from the palm of your hand.

ANU913 3dBi Antenna: Aesthetic and Functional

Next up is the ANU913 3dBi Antenna, a sleek and efficient addition to our setup. This detachable fiberglass antenna not only looks good on the bull bar but also promises reliable communication. We've strategically placed it to avoid interference with the car's cameras, ensuring a clear line of sight for seamless communication.

Magnetic Mic Mounting Bracket: Convenience Redefined

Now, let's talk about the Magnetic Mic Mounting Bracket. This ingenious accessory adds a touch of modern convenience to our setup. With its magnetic design, the microphone can be securely stowed when not in use. It's a game-changer for those moments when you need quick access to your mic without fumbling around. No more lost microphones in the dirt – just simple, effective, and modern mounting.

 
 
 

Installation: Finding the Perfect Spot

Choosing the right location for the UHF350DR is crucial. After exploring various options in our Mazda BT50, we decided on a discreet spot behind the glove box. This not only keeps the unit hidden but also easily accessible for any adjustments on the go.

Wiring and Powering Up: Keeping It Simple

With the power cord's straightforward design, we ensured a clean installation by connecting it to an ignition or accessories wire. This prevents any potential battery drainage and ensures the UHF radio powers up only when the ignition is on, a smart move for long journeys.

Testing and Fine-Tuning: Crystal Clear Communication

After the installation, we fine-tuned the settings and put our new communication hub to the test. The dual receive functionality of the UHF350DR impressed us, providing clear communication even in remote areas. The handheld controller proved intuitive, making navigation through channels and volume adjustments a breeze.

 
 

Mic Mounting Magic: Aesthetics and Functionality

The magnetic mic mount added a finishing touch to our setup. It not only complements the modern design but also ensures the microphone is always within arm's reach, ready for those spontaneous communications on the road.
