In this video I share what radio I use my my Jeep, "The NotARubicon" and the radio in my wife's Jeep, "The IsARubicon". The radios are Motorola XTL 5000 LMR radios, they can transmit up to 110 watts, they can do GMRS, Ham radio (amateur radio) 70cm, business frequencies, digital P25 and encryption. I go over how the radios are set up in both of my Jeeps and how I keep it all very simple to use.

So what is the point of the video? Are you being paid to advertise this over priced Lenovo/junkarola radio? Back in the late 70's I had a UHF Mocom 70. It was actually made in the USA. Anybody can buy a simple mobile radio that is more than your "40" watts and program it on the key pad. You have to have a computer to do that radio and pay for the software and cable. You must be obsessed with using computers, made in china of course. Thank God you are out in commiefornia and not in Kentucky so I don't have to hear you on my radio's.
The point of the video is to trigger low-IQ people into leaving pointless comments complaining about my radio from their devices that are made in China..
Looks like its working!
Steve, we would like to thank you for raising our babies.
Comments like his have to be troll comments, right?
Maaan you can’t make this stuff up,love it
@@beerbuzz62 you have a very limited imagination if you could not fabricate this or better.

"complexity is the root of all confuculation"
Love this line, and so many more in the video!
Opposed to a root that canfuculator.
Not to mention the RF signal on that Motorola radio is likely cleaner than most part 95 radios available anyway.... very nice rig - jealous. Thank you for producing your content, have always enjoyed it since entering the hobby. I look forward to the info on LMR license hints and tricks.

As a well-experienced first responder, I'd like to point out a highly technical term of which we utilize within our professional field. Please refer to an 'ambulance' as a Boo-Boo Buggy. The term 'Boo-Boo Buggy' eliminates any potential confuculation with those in society who may not possess experience dealing with a medical emergency. Thank You Muchly!
Always the best on the back monitor
I used to have a 110watt spectra in my truck. I loved that radio.
It's a good day when you drop a video!
Seems like a good set up. Definitely a solid company with a pedigree.
Always love the Old English verbiage, very nice FCC inspired t-shirt :)
Really nice radio, you got a nice setup! It would be nice if it was dual band but only the really expensive and fancy new commercial radios are multi band… the ones I can’t afford 😂
I really like this Motorola XTL 5000 LMR radio, I just may buy one. 👍
You are a Jeep god among men.
Thank you for sharing, learned new stuff today :)
Part 90 radios are such a good option for mobile install GMRS usage and were the ONLY option for many years before Midland and the Chinese companies started making them
Part 95.335(A)
I am in black hills, we have a dmr company nearby that has trucked dmr service. For $30 a month I got myself 2 TGs and I can go encrypted if I want to, their repeaters don't care. The beautiful thing about it, I can jump to other companies who are renting tgs from them, and talk to them if needed. I am using my channels for friends in the area trail riding and hiking. It's kinda nice to have that encrypted from other ears.
Very nice installations!
Nice setup😊
Love your channel and your humor keep it up
Thanks for these videos. They really help out!
Thumbs up for the license❤😂
I hope he got to meet Chet Kelly!
I like the booby trap “keep out of my garage” door with the extension cord 😆
Hi...im watching your channel from 3 weeks because i purchase 2 baofeng uv-5r and you make more easy to stand the basics. Im Italian but im leaving in Quebec from 12
years and b4 in my younger ages i play with a old midland cb radio! but now is time to do serious stuff 😅.
Nice set-up.
Love your Motorola
I would love to get a ham license but I have traumatic brain injury courtesy of Uncle Sam and can’t retain the study material to get my per permission slip. it took me three days to get past the GMRS application which I did finally and when I told the gal at the FCC how long it took she had a good chuckle. WSDN 336 out .
@@lonewolf2364 it took me a few tries too. My score was $70.
3 days is only slightly slower than the average time for uninjured people to navigate the FCC website. That is only partially a joke. While some people may just decide to get a GMRS license one day, go to the website and immediately apply... I think it is more common that people may first look into it and see what it would take to apply. If you add up the initial pre-application site visits, I'll be a lot of people have significant time spread out over several visits as they figure out how to actually get where they need to go.
@@philipstaite4775 i have heard crack heads on the street babbling to themselves that make more sense then trying to navigate the fcc site
I have a learning disability, and passed the first part in 1998, and took me almost a year to pass the second part, and was issued KC0GQT in 1999. I'm now K0GQT.
@@RKingis yea I have the same issues but I need to get my beginners class and a gmrs slip
Love the show. Especially when you punk out the self-made experts. HA HA HA HA! I love it.. But also thanks for all you pod casts. very good.
******** Yes, I use an XTL5000 110W UHF, for a while I had the Black 05 Control Head, then found a good deal on a 09 Control head, Great Radios !! :-) :-) *********
All killer, no filler.
I totally was lookin’ for Easter eggs when you opened the drivers door of the Jeep!!😂😂😂
Unlicensed ham operator 😂 u almost got me - that is making sad hams depressed
lol, i clicked on this because the radio in my 2002 Silverado is 1700 watts... but I get it now... good on ya.
Thanks for the Jeep video!
I predict Randy’s going to have a video one day titled “I GOT A MEAN LETTER” 😂😂 can’t wait!!
Or he will be raided by black-clad, heavily armed, FCC death Squad!
Yep, and it’ll be the FCCs talk’n smack hard on Sad-hams, while saying how much they love his sense of humor 😂😂
this is a outstanding video
Sweet set up.
Great video. Nailed it with the ending.
I do love me some Batwings gear. Worked with the old classic crystal-oven Micors, etc, back in the day, and even still have a few PL reeds kicking around :)
Very excited for a video on Eff see seees business permission slip
I got a 110 APX8500. Luv it! That sucker will run your battery down on accessory!
Randy, I left you a note on the GMRS site but it failed. I was telling you that I swore I saw you up on Birdsong. I was up there for work and if it wasn't you, you have a doppelganger. Great video!
Man, what a tooth. Loved the FCC "License".
Love that you love AMERICA!!!!
What a great quick to the point Video Randy 9:00 @NotaRubicon Productions
I used to install Pioneer DVD car radios. Grounding the long light green wire will allow you to watch porn while driving rather than parked having the parking brake engaged. Make sure to always keep your eyes on the road and both hands on the steering wheel.
😂 🫶💦
Randy, I like the setup.
I wanted a XTL 5000, BUT I Couldnt find one
With what i wanted. I settled for two icom p25 radios in uhf and vhf. They work ok. 45 watts on the UHF, 50 ON Vhf. Nice setup. Both have encrption boards in them, but i dont have any use for them at this time. Thanks for the Video.
Have a Moto XPR5550E, XPR7550E, and a Harris XG100p myself that I use on GMRS, and amateur frequencies also. Licensed on both.
I have the 50 watt version, Range 1 for UHF FREQUENCIES. It can do both European and American Ham frequencies in this range as well as the business frequencies I use in the States. Very reliable and the cost of the 50 watt remote mount with crypto when new was around the past $8K mark. If equipped with the proper flash code (it defines what the radio options are available to the user) it can be networked with a laptop in your Rubioconn jeeeep and into a private wireless network. This allows for data transfer between base and mobile or mobile to mobile.
Wow 🤯 sir Randolpho I bow to you now seeing the ticket
Remember that it is 100 percent legal to run digital with encryption between 902 and 928 MHz ISM Band as long as the radio is putting out 1 Watt or less. Anything in that band putting out 1 Watt or less is considered a nonintentional radiator. In fact Motorola sells HTs marketed to businesses for non licensed use DMR with encryption. If one were to use two of these 1 Watt HTs hooked to Yagi antennas, you'd be surprised how far they will go with roof or tower mounted antennas and good coax for a "private" point to point link system.
I love the anti-call to action at the beginning
S Pod brings me joy.
I had my 2m/70cm antenna mounted in the same area when I had my TJ and it worked well. People need to remember that the hardtop is not metal.
I used to use Spectra 110 watt VHF radios, but set for 85 watts.
I was able to reach 100 miles at best and about 50 miles reliably.
My brick weighed 20 pounds
It was a monster but it worked better than any other radio.
Motorola really is the best and they know it and they are not customer friendly.
I have talked to them and they are not friendly. They kept saying to talk to my licenced Motorola dealer.
I did talk to my local Motorola dealers and they were only in sell mode. They operate the repeaters and they are in the business of selling radios and repeater time. They service radios, but for the most part, they sell new radios and program them and then fix them. They add new talk groups ( remotely now ) to systems. But they don't want to waste time and they like to just swap parts and take them back to their office. I imagine they send them back to Motorola because they are so small components and really are not service able and as we now know, there is about 50 dollars worth of parts in these 5000 dollar radios. So, for Motorola, it is not a big deal to just melt them down when they break.
instant thumbs up just for the shirt
I passed the knot a ruby on the side of a mountain in my Ford Prius. Ha ha. KK3R Extra Class 👍📻
I run a Motorola XPR 5550. Motorola makes excellent radios
“indespite” 😂 gonna borrow that one
Almost as good as "irregardessly"! I almost spit my coffee when he said that hahah
Randy great video, but you knew that without me having to say that.
Perfect shirt!
NICE!
I wish our GMRS here in Canada was more like the US. GMRS is license free here but we can only legally use GMRS radios up to 2 watts with a non-removable antenna....and no repeaters. Although I am a HAM, I sometimes convoy with family who are not HAMs. I wouldn't mind paying for a license, especially if it covered family, to be able to use better radios and more power.
Thanks! Nice setup. Why is the back antenna cable not run through the gate holes and into the tub on the inside? Not correcting. Sincerely curious. 👍
When you key the mike in your Rubicon, do traffic lights flicker? Set off car alarms? Activate vehicle kill switches?
👏👏👏 😂 seamen eaters! Great stuff!!!
Spend the money for a sexier antenna! That radio will not disappoint!
My eye holes are pleased
.....the ID was the the best part of the vid. How did you make that?? I want one! 😂
Love MDC-1200!! Why I went all Moto
How about a video on programming that awesome beauty of a communication RF sending modulation device? That would be pretty cool. Love your vids.
110 watts? Holy crap! You could probably reach Canada with that much power.
"Am-ba-lance" - you got a Bawlmer accent there Hon. Greetings from Maryland.
As a paramedic firefighter who has used many Motorola radios. I like this setup for your GMRS. I am currently running an “off the shelf” GMRS radio and have considered others. However, they just don’t seem quite the same. I need to look more into these old radios. My concern is the ability to program them. Maybe not such an issue since they are old, but when they were new, you could only get a Motorola tech to program them.
Programming them is a HUGE issue.. Getting the software can be difficult, it only runs on old versions of Windows and it is very VERY complicated to learn and use.. using one of these radios is not for the fainthearted unless you are willing to go through the pain of learning how to program them OR unless you know someone that will do it for you.
Sounds like a great radio, but probably out of my price range. I'll keep checking the resale shops!
Very nice radio!
Your channel is the radio version of AvE’s machining channel.
Big flexin!
Looks good! I may transmit monies for capture. But I will not pursue bidnezz license.
Because I am your favorite viewer.....;)
wait!! to told ME i was his FAVORITE!!!!
Wish I had a HT that had those capabilities especially p25 phase 2 and conventional trunking just to use as a scanner but i would have to make sure the system i programmed in wouldn't let the system know its on there unless mike is keyed up
Will all xtl5000s be able to rx/tx gmrs? Or did you have to help it.
No. You have to get the UHF version.
"complexity is the root of confuckulation" is genius
@NotaRubicon Productions When you are in the uploading process, which one do you check at the bottom concerning moderation, usually?
"Hold All"

Thanks! Enjoy your day.
I LIKE THE SHIRTS subscribing now lol
How do you program your Motorola XTL 5000 radios? What program cable and software do you use?
You need a USB to Motorola XTL5000 programming cable and the Motorola CPS software made for the XTL5000.. both of which can be challenging to acquire.
Still waiting on a review of the Baofeng K5plus. I have made several purchases based off your reviews but got this one on a whim and there is not many videos on it...Btw I think it is the best baofeng yet.
I’m curious, you did a video on tuning antennae a long time ago, but were you tuning to the power out put, or frequencies? Cuz a radio like this according to the data sheet you showed goes from 25-110W, and it has a huge frequency range.
You always tune an antenna to the frequency, not to the power.
@@TheNotaRubicon Ok, thanks. So then for a radio like yours, if you were to use gmrs, and ham, which I know you wouldn’t do because you aren’t sad, and lonely, would you need two antennas or just go for somewhere in between?
GMRS and H.A.M. 70cm frequencies are so close that one antenna works fine.
@@TheNotaRubicon Thanks radio……er, jeep guy!
He bud i just ordered mine 😅
Wahoo ❤😊
Thanks, I will check with them. What programming software is used to program it?
You must use the Motorola software made for this specific model, which only runs on older versions of Windows.. and beware, programming one of these radios is not like programming a consumer radio.. You do not just pick it up and start using it.
Comment for the algorithm, thumbs up.
