Picking the right radio for overlanding?
Hello all. I've always thought I'd be installing a radio at some point, but when I started to research I found that there are quite a few options available. I'm old-school, so I still remember simple CB radios, but now we've got choices like GMRS, FRS, or like the recent post we've seen where a guy installed a HAM radio (not going to do that). Some require licenses (which seem easy to get). A good article breaking this down is here: https://expeditionvehicleoutfitters.com/blogs/news/the-guide-to-overlanding-communication-radios
Ultimately what I've learned is that you should install what your 4x4 friends are installing... kind of like how you might pick an Xbox over a Playstation (if you want to play multiplayer games with your friends, get the same box). So I called an experienced friend of mine and asked him what he uses, only to find that he's never thought about it.
So, I'm curious, if I'm out on the trails in SoCal, what might others have installed or thinking about installing? Might be an interesting thread
Cheers...
