Today I finally finished the
Today I finally finished the Midland GMRS install on the Expedition Essentials 3TPAM. This took a decent amount of work to make it look, function and fit the 3TPAM. After doing some research there was nothing on the market that would plug and play the way I wanted, so the parts search began. The MXT275 has a remote control box which can be mounted anywhere. The limits are the power cord length and the mic cord length. Both of these limitations are easy fixes. I extended the mic jack with a cat 6 POE 3 foot Ethernet cable to a female to female cat 6 water proof coupler which was then mounted to the 3TPAM. That is for the mic connection.
To hold the mic in place I went with a Magnetic Mic which was flush mounted on the 3TPAM. The coupler and the Magnetic Mic can be installed anywhere in the truck that has space. Installs took some time and patience to drill out large holes. Both the coupler and Magnetic Mic were centered on pre existing mounting holes for the 3TPAM and only took up one spot on the mounting surface. I really like that the mic can be stored away when not in use leaving the mounting location looking clean and tidy.
For the antenna, I really like the look of the Ghost 3DB so I fabbed up a bracket to my liking. Midland has a bracket for the ditch light mount but I though it looked a little long when reviewing pics on the internet. That was a long explanation and a long video. Hope it helps and makes sense.
