What are the regulations for installing a car-mounted radio?
2 Answers
Installing a car-mounted radio requires that the rated voltage of the radio is basically the same as the generator voltage of the car. The following is relevant information about car-mounted radios: 1. Function: Mainly used for transportation, production scheduling, security command, and other operations. 2. Power and communication range: The power should not be less than 10W, generally 25W. The maximum power is 56W for VHF and 50W for UHF. The power supply for the car-mounted radio is 13.8V, and the communication range can reach over 20 kilometers. In wireless communication networks, the communication range can be significantly increased through a repeater, reaching tens of kilometers.
Installing a mobile radio isn't something to be done casually - it must comply with national radio regulations. First, you need to obtain an amateur radio operator certificate, then apply for a station license for legal operation. Equipment must be type-approved, with transmission power not exceeding limits (e.g. mobile VHF/UHF typically capped at 25W). During installation, position the antenna at the roof center away from airbag zones, using short well-shielded coaxial cables. Finally, remember to display the license conspicuously to avoid fines if inspected.
