- Just happened to be able to video this quick contact I made on VHF 2M. Other guy had a vertical and 50 watts 53 miles away. Maybe if I drop my bike in the woods and break my leg I'll be able to get ahold of someone with no cell signal?
Antenna is a super elastic signal stick
Hand mic is actually OEM but doesn't come with the radio its the waterproof one
Gatorade and Apple pie sold separately as well
Might make a more in-depth video about HAM and Dualsport soon.
My buds and I always ride with a cheap Baofeng clipped to our pocket and the helmet velcro headset kit. Makes coms while riding really nice, and if you go down you break a $20 radio. Cell service is definitely non-existent where we are a lot of the time. -73, W8LFG
Just mounted my dual channel mobile on my VFR800X. Should reach out and touch someone at 50W, but while mobile I'm pretty close to the antenna so I turn the power down. If I ever need full power I can step away and call. Just need an extra foot or two.
Good idea. I like how you have your bike set up, I have a 2020 Tw and I'm looking to do the same thing
You near Highlands/Clayton. I got a tw200 and xt250
Hello
Let me know the detail of the after market parts that looks microphone.
Thank you
I had to watch it again, are those a mid rise atv handlebar?
Joseph Thennes ATV High. Had to trim them shorter and rerout some cables but they definitely improve the ride especially when standing.
Thanks, can't wait to see a video on your mods. No one has that on you tube ,you are the first for the bars
Joseph Thennes TDubskid has one but with different bars. really good video
