Don,

Here on the farm we use two way radio's alot. You don't count minutes, and no monthly bill either

Where did you mount the antenna, and where are you drawing radio power from? Do you have an Engine noise filter?

We power them straight to the battery on ur equitment, and try to ground to the frame away from the radio, to get the cleanest signal.

Regards, Kirk
