Motorola Vehicle Radio Antenna

Bought a set of 4 of these radio’s with the large antenna to help with range. We have been using them for corn harvest in our tractors and combines. Easy to mount and move from vehicle to vehicle if we need to. We farm in an area with large rolling hills and elevation will change 150-200 feet in a few miles. We consistently get 5+ miles of range and not a problem with hearing each other. We can hear each other up to 10 miles but it gets spotty and that’s not very often we need to transmit that far. I’m going to buy the external speaker to get more volume. The loud machines, radio playing and my lack of hearing is why I will add those. Overall I’m very happy for these radios to use in our operation.

6 Db antenna works, I replaced a shorter stubby Motorola type with this and increased my repeater hit with about a 25 percent range increase. Heavy wooded area limits maximum radio wave range but performance is solid.

Awesome off road compliment to my vehicle mounted Miand radio.

Very nice handheld system. Work great for so there's no need to have radio in every vehicle.

The Motorola CLS - 1110 is a fine handheld radio. It has decent range and can be programmed so as not to interfere with other radio frequencies. More than the radio, however, I was totally sold on the customer service I got from B&H. It was as good as I could have imagined leaving no room to ask for more. Thanks-

The CLS-1110 2-way radio by Motorola is small, lightweight and easily accessible for my assisted living staff. If only there was a way to eliminate the protruding antenna (can easily get in the way), this would be the world's most perfect unit!

This antenna is small and compact, but does give you a bit more gain and directionality over the 1/4 wave vertical that's included with most radios. However, as your vehicle pitches and rolls over terrain, you don't get the dropouts that become a problem with the higher gain antennas because it still is basically an omni. In practice when installed, this performs about like a true dipole - and that's actually really good. I'll caution that this should be mounted high on the vehicle for best performance, if you don't have that sort of mounting point maybe look at the 6dbi whip - it won't perform in most circumstances as well as a Ghost on the roof, but not everybody's car has a good roof mounting point.

Easy to route to the front of the vehicle where I mounted the antenna. It seems pretty sturdy so far but I haven't gotten it hung up on anything, yet.

Add this antenna and it made a big difference in range. I would recommend this for any that wants to get the maximum out if their radio.

I have been using the Midland MXT115 radio with the supplied magnetic antenna for the past year and have been really enjoying how clean and clear the transmissions have been even in the FRS channels. Once I decided how I was going to mount the radio in my truck ( Lexus GX470 ) I knew i would have to hard mount the antenna. I went with the universal lip mount and the Ghost 3db antenna to try to keep both the profile down and get a boost in range... it has worked out great in both respects!! The low profile of the Ghost doesn't scream look at me and the extra bit of range seems to be working out great and no issues hearing anyone on the trail in our group nor on the road when we are driving in a group convoy. Now for the normal stuff... shipping time was quick especially in the Covid time... product was in great condition and no damages as well as fitting perfectly. I recommend the GRMS radios to anyone who asks and the Midland by brand. The product is just as advertised and it just works.
