At first we used the traditional 2 way radios, Midland and Cobra. The earpiece was uncomfortable in the helmets, but it worked. So I invested in helmet headsets for those radios. Also invested in a UHF/VHF radio for the side by side so driver didn’t have to wear earpiece, and so the passenger could hear also.
everything works great for a while. unless you spend the money on the Rugged systems, wires will break. I have hear good things about the Rugged systems, just too costly for me.
So I already use CB antennas as flag poles and LED whip sticks, so I thought, what the heck?
the kids are at the point where they really don’t need to respond unless they are stuck, or if they do, they can stop to talk using the hand held mic.
How did I install them, you might ask? built a box on the front rack.
neighborhood testing shows promise. biggest problem is being close together and having volume up too high, then you get feedback.
My 11 year old son helped out a lot. Also being a wood shop teacher I own a CNC machine, so we engraved a logo in the top. We were looking for the Recon logo, but came across this one instead and since the recon is white, it fits well.
