New beadlocks on. Waiting on my last tire to GE vulcanized so I am using one of my old tire/wheels as a spare. I have 2 full sets now. Ready for all the tire problems that plague me. Lol.

I’ve been getting a lot of feedback from my baofeng radios so with help from a professional (@Ragnar406) I decided to try a new antenna system on the Honda. No chirping today with a 30 minute test. Next weekend I can trail test it in Mulberry with @my99svt

Watching your progress closely. May save me from buying another radio!

Lol I am watching too! No doubt antenna choice will increase transmission and reception over the stock antenna (especially if stock is damaged). I am still looking for something that will stick out the back past the roof.

I think the antenna and cabling was around $25. That axia Mount was by far the most expensive thing. I just didn’t want to radio flopping around anymore. Khan helped me pick the antenna and cabling out. Hopefully it works much better. I might drive around this afternoon and see if my wife can hear me better at the house.

It’s an axia alloys Khan gave me the link. Check their website. I know you can’t get it on amazon or anything. Sorry I’m not more help.

I didn’t want it close to the whips to try and keep any electrical interference down. I’m already fighting some kind of interference. That’s what started the whole process of new antenna and re-rerouting cabling.

I got around 1.25 miles from the house tonight and my wife could hear my loud and clear on a standard baeofeng handheld. I was starting to get some static on frs2 from her. I’m going to try upgrading the antenna on the handheld and try again later this week. Looking pretty promising so far.
