I finally finished the install on the radio yesterday. I used the optional short antenna and mounted it on the spare tire carrier of my Jeep Wrangler Rubicon. My friend was 5 miles away here in Moab Utah at another RV park. Just for grins I texted him that I wanted to try it out and see if he could hear me. It was loud and clear! I am a very happy camper!
I recently purchased the Bundle for my Jeep. My first impression, the Radio was packaged well and everything needed for the install was included. The Combo handset feels solid and robust and should hold up to the hardships of years of use. The handset extension cable allowed me to place the handset exactly where I wanted it. A perfect match for my Jeep.
I finally got my MXT275 GMRS radio installed in my 06 Jeep Wrangler TJ. The bundle is the way to go. The install was very easy. This thing actually works at 12 miles distance. I think it will go 15 to 20 easy. We love it. Much better than a CB.
I purchased and installed it in my 2020 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon to use as a trail / travel radio for communications with others. It was easy to install and had several places it would fit in the Jeep. I chose to mount it on the right side of the center console so the could use the USB port to charge her devices. Also when the radio isn’t being used I store the mike in the glove box. I used the short antenna and the reception was good for about one mile. The wife was inside the house using a walkie-talkie while I drove around the neighborhood. So far I’m satisfied but the test will come when we travel to Jasper, AK with several other Jeepers.
I love these radios. I have the MXT 275 and a couple of GTX 1000s and have converted my whole Jeep club over to GRMS! License from FCC is super easy to get for a new price of 35 dollars. And in a couple of days you get your call sign and are ready to hit the trail.
I think this is a great radio to use for off-reading or Overlanding. One FCC license covers your immediate family and the rang has been great. I suppose we are never more than 3 miles apart but we stay connected!
