Uniden - UHF Radio Install DIY - Graham Cahill (4WD Action) 

As always great advice. Thanks Graham.

Hi Graham, What was the clip you used to clip onto the dash mat with the handpiece? Cheers

awesome job thanks

ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS run the ground to the battery not the chassis. Makes for less alternator/ equipment noise. Don't roll the cable up, fold it. Rolled coax cable becomes an RF choke and will reduce the signal in and out. Any arial within 1/4 wave of the radiating antenna will distort the radiation pattern and cause the signal to become directional.

what antenna do you use for radio fm and dab?

The best option would be to wire it to the Facctory Fuse Block with a Relay therefore their is no parasitic draw

hi Graham , i'm still trying to find a hole through the Fire wall on my 03 Nissan patrol ? Passenger side mounted CB . do you have to take the glovebox out .

Great step by step...cheers

Cheers Graham.

How does this man see out the front of his truck with all those damn antennas?

Hi Team I have this unit in NZ, my Question is can you feed aerial and share am/fm radio roof aerial without interference of stereo reception etc, hope that makes sense sounds clear as mud lol

Graham is a legend

Hi Graham. I've never owned a UHF but I'm planning a full lap around Australia starting in Melbourne. My question. What are the do's and don'ts? When do you use it? Are there fun things to be done with it or is it just for emergencies?

I cut the fme terminals off. They are almost impossible to get through most firewalls. Also always disconnect all battery power first to the vehicle !

nice antena bro...

When you do your zip ties do them up facing down dont use a lighter makes them brittle and they snap quicker

สุดยอดครับ

Why can't Uniden make heavy duty antennas for 27mhz USA market? All we can get are junk fiberglass that break very easy or extremely flexable stainless steel that wip around and have almost no db gain ........

I did mine this way, and it melted my wiring... Wtf

Uniden or GME ?

but don,t thay have to be swerd in like the old ones Graham sorry about my spelling am just old lol

Anyone else think it's weird how different Graham sounds just 3 years ago?

You seem like a nice lady.

Uniden customer service is crap. I bought a Uniden Adventure pack that came with a 9060 radio and an AT890BKS aerial. in the box there were instructions for the radio but absolutely no instructions or a guide for the aerial. wasnt sure about something to do with the aerial so asked uniden a question via email on their website and got a condescending answer about getting a professional to install it. WTF? my other truck will get a GME if that's Unidens attitude

I love how he says saving you abit of Coin but hes using one of the top of the range Uniden bahahaha

No conduit on the wiring. Flush cutters are better than side cutters and messing around with a lighter. Incorrectly terminating the antenna wire and not testing it is the most common cause of issues and wasn't covered. I'm also surprised that Uniden left in his comment about antennas mounted together, 1/2 wavelength apart is the rule of thumb (better to have one on each side of the bar, not that a bullbar is the best place to mount it in the first place in terms of performance)

panduit cable tie gun, throw the lighter out

"Installing a UHF radio can be installed", great copy editing, lol

"the footwell bounces the sound" No it does not. Stop repeating dumb marketing bullshit.

Sounds like a blatant advert disguised as instructional.

Every uniden product i ever bought was cheap rubbish.

Great work mate, do a video and don't show anyone the most important part, pulling the cable through. Useless!
