GMRS Radio DIY Install & Testing Against CB Radio For Distance

Detailed install of a mobile GMRS then we test it against our CB for range and clarity. The results are AMAZING! We also test Midland Radio's rugged handheld radio units. Even they blow the doors off of our traditional CB radio communication! See all the details of the way we installed our GMRS radio by hiding the base unit away, out of site. All that's showing is the hand unit. Making for a clean, less cluttered dash and console in our overland / offroad vehicle. We also review the basic operation of the Midland MXT275 radio controls.
In our opinion, Midland makes the best GMRS two-way radio units, along with 6db antenna, antenna cable with NMO connectors, and mounts. Below are links to all the products, Midland technical support/ owner's manuals, and the extra cables we used in our DIY installation project.
