110Watts, GMRS, Ham/Amateur Radio, & Encryption: My Off-Road 4X4 Communications - My Jeep Radio

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.

I'm here for the sad ham pinned comments

Thank you NotaRubicon For making it so Perfectly Clear that you would NEVER ask your Favorite Audience Members to Ever "Hit that Like And Subscribe Button". So I did it on my own.

"complexity is the root of all confuculation"
Love this line, and so many more in the video!

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.

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

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!

I used to have a 110watt spectra in my truck. I loved that radio.

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.

I counted six different ways you trolled the people that hate you. I'm honestly really impressed.

LMBO "So me and the wife can talk crap" I love it.

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 😂

[cmarchi]

It's a good day when you drop a video!

[johnpush]

I got a 110 APX8500. Luv it! That sucker will run your battery down on accessory!

I love the anti-call to action at the beginning

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.
