Also FYI your radio will overheat in the hot summer sun… been there. I now put a white washcloth over it during the summer…
I have the MXT115. Love Midland. Get the 6db antenna!
It's a nice install but I'm surprised that you'd want all that hardware on your dash given that the display is in the mic. The whole advantage to that model, it seems to me, is so that you can hide it away since there's nothing going on with it that needs to be seen. Figure the tablet holder is hiding most of it but it looks like it would also limit your vision out the windshield. I'm sure you considered all of that, however, so good on you for adding some coms to your vehicle.
Yeah understood. I actually put it up there for easier access for USB power. I think I’m gonna hide it inside my 4runner though. Just a little more out of the way.
Loved that attenna mount. I have a rhino platform. Was that a custom bracket or did you purchase that somewhere?
That is a bracket mount made by our partner “ICS Fabrication”. You can find them here: www.ics-fab.com
How did you hardwire the radio? Looks like you went to the fuze, if that's the case which one did you wire it to?
Also, were you able to fit the antenna cable through the rubber grommet in the firewall?
I just went to a fuse block through the firewall and put the antenna wire up the a-post and through a hole in the roof to my mount on my rack.
Did you have to remove and replace the antenna connector to run the antenna wire?
Boomstick _0311 No. Just unscrewed it from the antenna assembly. I wish it was a bit easier and smaller for running the wire.
I loved the mag-mount for the mic, where did you get them?, Nice vid, thanks for sharing.
Thank you! You can find them on amazon.com - search “Magnetic Mic”.
@@AndersonOverland thank you.
Can I ask what mount for that prinsu rack you used?
It came with mounts.
what bracket is that for the antenna?
Its a bracket from Midland USA for the ghost antenna.
Any issues with overheating on the dash?
Nope! Not at all!
question... will a tram 1185 uhf/vhf antenna be compatible with mxt115
robby dtox Robby, thx for the question! I’m not sure about that, but I’d be happy to find out for ya!
robby dtox From my rep - The MXT115 is run on a FRS/GMRS frequency. Therefore it will only communicate with GMRS/FRS frequencies!
@@AndersonOverland i just did a test the little antenna works good 13mile plus hills and buildings i dont think i need an upgrade
robby dtox Sweet!! Glad you dig it!! Let me know if you have any more questions!
@@AndersonOverland i was vert suprised how well it worked yes iam glad thank you for the quick response...
What magnets did you use for the mic? Any links?
Kevin Willis “Magnetic Mic”! They are AWESOME!
Anderson Overland unable to find any site or entry for a Kevin Willis Magnetic Mic. There are lots of posts for a brand called Magnetic Mic by Innovative Products inTN. Is this the same product ?

I easily got my license by going to fcc.gov < First you must apply for a FRN (Federal Registration Number). You MUST give the FCC your Social Security Number as part of this process. After you apply for and receive your FRN you will also be assigned a password which will either be mailed or emailed to you separately for security purposes. After you have this you can get on the FCC WEBSITE and scroll down to ULS (Universal Licensing System). Click on that and look for APPLY FOR NEW LICENSE (or something similar). The radio service code for GMRS is ZA. Click on that, answer the questions and begin the application process. At the end you can pay with a credit card and SUBMIT. Within a few days the FCC will issue you your new license and send you a temporary 30 day link so that you can print out a hard copy for your records. Oh yeah, the license is only $7 per year for a ten year license, that's $70 total. Currently the FCC is discussing lowering the cost to only $50 for ten years. If you don't get your license and you ever do get caught it's a $10,000 fine and forfeiture of your equipment. Furthermore, if you think you might be interested in operating through a repeater someday you WILL need a valid callsign. Otherwise, you will be shunned by the legitimate users. Whenever I talk to someone, the first thing that I do is to ask for a callsign. Anyone can search the FCC license database to check for validity. Please, get your license and encourage your friends to do the same because GMRS is different from CB radio. I hope this is helpful. 👍
Yes its a licensed frequency. Read the comment from David above.
GMRS. $70 for 10 years
