UHF ACCESSORIES FOR 4WD TOURING

Clear vehicle communications, secure mounting and workshop installation

UHF accessories support practical communication between vehicles on touring, convoy and remote-area trips. This collection includes the Crystal Professional 80 Channel UHF CB radio with Multi-functional Mic and KAON LC200 side mirror aerial mounts. These products cover vehicle communication and LC200-specific aerial mounting requirements.

The Crystal radio provides 80-channel operation through a multi-functional microphone. The KAON mounts are available for the LHS and RHS mirror positions on an LC200. A UHF antenna mount is commonly described as an aerial mount in Australia, so both terms may be used when comparing installation options.

KEY CATEGORIES AND WHAT THEY'RE BUILT FOR

80-CHANNEL UHF CB RADIO

Crystal Professional 80 Channel UHF CB radio with Multi-functional Mic. This radio places key controls on the microphone. Consider driver access, visibility and cable routing when planning its location.

MIRROR AERIAL MOUNTS FOR LC200

KAON Side Mirror Aerial Mount (LHS) for LC200 and KAON Side Mirror Aerial Mount (RHS) for LC200. Select the version that corresponds with the required side of the vehicle.

80-CHANNEL UHF FOR TOURING

The listed Crystal product is an 80-channel UHF CB radio. Users should follow current ACMA operating conditions and channel restrictions. Convoy groups should agree on a permitted channel before travelling.

Communication performance depends on terrain, aerial selection, mounting position, installation quality and the equipment at each end. Brand alone does not determine usable range.

CHOOSE BY RADIO FORMAT AND USE CASE

Radio and microphone layout: The Crystal unit suits drivers who want the main controls close at hand while keeping the radio in a suitable protected position. The final location should preserve visibility, safe control access and appropriate cable routing.

Mounting for frequent use: Consider where the microphone will sit when it is not in use. Available options include the Crystal radio and KAON LC200 side mirror aerial mounts. If you are not sure which listed option suits your planned layout, reach out to our friendly staff.

AERIAL SELECTION AND MOUNTING

The listed KAON products are aerial mounts, so an aerial must be selected separately. Consider the intended terrain, mounting position and cable route when choosing compatible equipment.

1. Intended use. Consider where the vehicle will travel and how the radio will be used.

2. Mounting location. A side mirror aerial mount can provide an alternative mounting position when the KAON fitment matches the required LC200 side.

3. Installation. Cable condition, connector assembly and the completed radio and aerial system should be assessed against the relevant manufacturers' requirements.

KAON SIDE MIRROR AERIAL MOUNT FOR LC200

The KAON side mirror aerial mounts are listed for the LC200 in separate LHS and RHS versions. Buyers searching for a KAON UHF mount should select the product corresponding with the required side.

The mount is one part of the installation. Aerial selection, cable entry and clearance around the mirror and surrounding bodywork must also be considered on the vehicle.

POWER, MICROPHONE AND CABLE ROUTING

The radio's power supply and cable route should suit the vehicle and intended installation. Cable routes should avoid sharp edges, moving trim and locations where a door or panel could pinch the cable.

The microphone must remain accessible without obstructing controls or visibility. If the radio is installed out of sight, the cable route should still allow access for servicing.

BRANDS IN THIS COLLECTION

Crystal supplies the listed Professional 80 Channel UHF CB radio with Multi-functional Mic. KAON supplies the listed LC200 side mirror aerial mounts in LHS and RHS versions.

WHAT A QUALITY UHF INSTALL INVOLVES

Start with the vehicle, intended use and preferred control position. Plan the radio location, aerial choice and mount together so cable routing is considered before components are fixed in place. The completed installation should provide secure mounting, protected cabling, suitable connections and functional transmit and receive operation.

Our Ferntree Gully and Pakenham workshops can install the Crystal radio and fit a KAON LC200 mirror aerial mount where suitable. Send us a service enquiry with your vehicle, proposed accessories and typical use, such as highway travel, convoy driving or remote touring.

Email sales@ultimateoffroad.com.au with your vehicle details and our friendly staff will confirm fitment, quote the work and arrange a booking at Ferntree Gully or Pakenham.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a licence to use UHF CB in Australia?

UHF CB is generally available under class licensing arrangements rather than through an individual licence application. Users must still follow current operating conditions, channel restrictions and equipment rules. Check the latest ACMA guidance before use.

Convoy groups should agree on a permitted channel before departure. Check current ACMA guidance for channel allocations, restrictions and operating conditions rather than relying on an old channel list.

The appropriate aerial depends on the terrain, mounting position and intended use. Mounting height, nearby bodywork, cable condition and the equipment at the other end can also affect performance. Confirm the final choice against the aerial manufacturer's guidance.

Compatibility depends on the other equipment and the channel being used. Both users must operate compatible equipment on the same permitted channel. Usable range varies with terrain, aerials, radio position and installation quality.

The best position depends on the vehicle, terrain and risk of impact. An LC200 mirror aerial mount can provide a practical option where the KAON LHS or RHS fitment suits the required position. Cable routing and clearance should be considered before installation.

Standing Wave Ratio, or SWR, helps assess how the radio, feed line and aerial work together. It should be checked with suitable test equipment after installation and assessed against the relevant manufacturers' specifications.

Self-installation may be possible if you have suitable electrical tools, test equipment and access to the correct fitment information. Power protection, cable routing, connector assembly and clearance all require attention. If you are not sure, reach out to our friendly staff.

Do not assume that an accessory automatically preserves or voids a vehicle warranty. The outcome can depend on the vehicle manufacturer's terms, how the mount is installed and whether the accessory contributes to a later fault. Confirm warranty implications with the vehicle manufacturer or dealer before fitting.

Australia-wide delivery is available for the listed Crystal radio and KAON mounts. Availability and dispatch timing can change. Select the KAON mount corresponding with the required LHS or RHS LC200 position. If you are not sure, reach out to our friendly staff.

Send Ultimate Offroad a service enquiry with your vehicle details, selected radio or mount, preferred workshop and intended use. Ferntree Gully and Pakenham handle UHF installation enquiries. Installation time depends on the vehicle, mounting position, existing accessories and cable route. If you are not sure, reach out to our friendly staff.
