You could do that, but why? Just get a GMRS walkie-talkie, same $, and its mobile. You can put in your waterproof box, in a waterproof pouch, and even if you get upside down in water, you can still get it out and use it.
true big daddy, but occaisionally you get sprinkles, or splashes. you never know what will happen on your honda. hate to mess up a good cb like that.Not everyone goes deep sea diving with their quads.
I have thought about putting one on mine. And a good cb will out do a hand held anyday.
I went through this in a related discussion a couple of months ago in the off topic forum. With very few exceptions - generally either because your business is directly related to marine use like a marina, marine salvage/repair, or drawbridge operator, etc. - it is illegal in the US to use marine VHF radios on land. The FCC takes violations a bit more seriously than say usage of handheld GMRS radios without the proper license.Marine radios are my first choice....much much much clearer in sound and plus they push put way more power....usual cb's only make about 5-7 watts if they are tuned and peaked, without kickers.....marine radios come out the box about 30 watts hot
Just something to think about, I love mine
CBs...5-8 watts hot out the box...marine, 25-30...can be found on any manufacturers websiteAlso, mounted (i.e. not handheld) VHF radios in the US have a maximum legal input of 25W, not 30 W.
