[QUOTE="Richouse, post: 1141935, member: 9392"] I use the same Midland radio that you have. I just use a Ram Mount and mount it to the handlebar and use the rubber antenna. At first I was having issues with it because I was trying to use the12v plug to supply power. I found out that if you use that you have to plug in and use the antenna wire on the power supply cord. That didn't work at all like you mention. I just switched and use only the battery pack with the radio and kept the antenna plugged directly into the radio and it works great. I don't have the range of a 5' whip antenna but it will work up to 2-3 miles. I put rechargeable batteries in the battery pack and found that they will last a very long time. I went on a 3 day trip and NEVER recharged them and it never ran down. It sat on the shelf for 4 month and still not recharged they went another day of usage and still have not ran down. [/QUOTE]
