Thread: UHF Radio Wiring

Hi Andrew
I picked up a feed from the back of the cigarette lighter and ran a cable to a 3 plug socket that sits against the side of the cubby box (passenger side) and I run the UHF TX4400 off that as the radio is mounted on the back of the cubby box. I also run a double USB socket from it for charging the phone.
Cheers Ian

Hi,
An assortment of my accessories run from the back end of the Traxide SC80.
I can select this or ignition (or off) with a double throw switch and relay.
Thus:
1) with the camper on the back, either ignition or aux battery power.
2) with no camper, either ignition or crank battery till the SC80 cuts out.

Best of both worlds I think,

Cheers

Mine is also wired back to the Traxide unit in the battery box. Just ran the wires under the cubby and into the battery box under the front passenger's seat. Works fine.

thanks Guys, I have the Redarc 1225 unit as my dual battery unit - might check if I can wire the radio into that.

cheers

It’s handy to have the UHF wired to a permanent power supply rather than an ignition supply, for example, if you’re at camp waiting for someone to turn up, the radio can remain on. If you have dual batteries wire it to your accessories battery as the draw from a radio is minimal.
