When you’re driving, there isn’t any worries. Whether off road or on road. The engine is charging the battery, so just like when you’re using off road lights on the trails, when you’re driving, no issues whatsoever.I like to leave mine powered while I'm driving to receive weather alerts. I'd guess that some might not be interested in that feature but it's one of the reasons I installed mine. So my preference would be to have it power on each time I start my vehicle. Would be nice if the Midland unit provided relay circuit built in, but apart from that would an external relay just result in the same trouble?
Relay circuit is already there in your Upfitter Switch, so another one won’t do anything. If you can live with the glitches for now, stay with it. If transmitting or receiving start breaking up, or folks in your group can’t hear you, you’ll be better off wiring it directly to the battery.
