Chrisby Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Same as mine,Great little unit and as all the controls are on the handset can be easily hidden away! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Member 46stm Posted September 22, 2015 Platinum Member Share Posted September 22, 2015 Got rid of my handset with the controls.....every time you went off road it bashed stuff and changed channels or settings. Be careful where you mount it cos it will get on your nerves... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Middle button with he lock symbol on locks all the buttons apart from transmit :rofl: I did have to read the instructions to find this out though. After getting annoyed with it, changing settings when it was unlocked! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Member Christian Posted September 22, 2015 Author Platinum Member Share Posted September 22, 2015 Thanks for the information, to be honest having the buttons on the handset was worrying me bit i figured mounting in a clear and open position should help with that. Having read some of the threads on the forum, i put a call into thunderpole today and then sorted me out with the orbitol HD antenna and a cable. Should be arriving tomorrow, just need to wait for the mounting bracket now. What sizes antennas have people gone for as it comes in the 90cm and 150cm variant.

andylondon Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 I went into thunderpole today and Richard mention someone with a jeep looking for a mounting bracket for the spare wheel . [emoji106] Haha - that was me... drove him mad on the phone for about an hour :icon_lol: I ended up buying a handheld midland 42 which has a car kit/adapter and connects to a mag mount in the absence of finding anywhere 'lane proof' on a KJ to mount an aerial that didn't involve drilling or running separate earths. He's a good bloke that Richard :great: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Member mrjeep Posted November 10, 2015 Platinum Member Share Posted November 10, 2015 If anyone is looking for a cheap setup that works, this cost me under £50. Works a treat and fits well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andylondon Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 That aerial mount looks neat - cant see from the pic exactly where it starts and finishes or the earth is ....is it quick releaable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
