Installing a Two-Way Radio

Eteny2 Comments

As a licensed amateur radio enthusiast (call sign 4G1AWN), I definitely would want to install a radio in my EcoSport! With a mobile-type radio and a proper antenna installed, it is possible to communicate with fellow radio enthusiasts within 10 to 15 kilometer radius (in a city). The farthest contact I was able to get was from Manila to Calapan, with a distance of about 135 km (I had to relocate the antenna to the roof to improve signal propagation and reception).

    • The antenna a Diamond SG7000, with Nagoya radials. Around 3000 PHP for the antenna and 500 PHP for the radials.
