Ray has a setup supplied with the unit that works awesome. We ran ours up the windshield trim out the firewall and up through the cowling and to the top of the cab. Looks pretty Clean which is more important to me than most guys I'm kinda concerned about how stuff fits and looks when it's done. Could be done a ton easier tho.That would be great
what did you do for antennas
We just ordered ten or so of those units for the farm and I'll tell you guys they are awesome. Had a couple of the older series Ray carried before in a couple of tractors and a pickup and they were decent but the new one he has are even better. Range wise here around central Alberta we'll get 12 to 20 km outta them. Only had one trip to the mountains with it this winter so far but coming outta silent pass we were at around km 20 ish and could talk back to a buddy of mine in a service truck at km 53 or better. They work and they work good. Have about a half dozen Motorola's from before and when they start capping the bed they'll just get swapped out with the baofeng units and carry on. Worth every penny, thanks Ray!
Not sure where else to post this, but for anyone experiencing random clicking/static with their baofeng, this solved it for me:

Turns out they come from the factory with useless squelch settings. This can be changed in settings only if you use Chirp.
Cheers!
For sure they would, use them around the farm all the time.Would they work well around a construction project?
Battery life?

Battery lasts about 24hr with moderate use.
I am sell 50 Watt mobile dual band dual channels now too if anyone is interested.
How much for the 50 watt mobile programed the same as your hand helds (Me and my buddies bought your hand helds and LOVE them!)
