4WD & OFF-ROAD TOURING

Best UHF Radios for 4WD & Off-Road Touring

Stay in touch with your convoy, hear track updates and communicate when mobile coverage drops away. The right setup depends on whether you need an installed vehicle radio, a handheld for spotting, or both.

What to look for

  • A 5-watt in-vehicle UHF CB radio for stronger, consistent vehicle communication
  • An antenna suited to changing terrain rather than gain alone
  • A handheld backup for spotting, recovery work and communication away from the vehicle

A quick answer before you buy

What UHF radio setup is best for a 4WD trip?

Most touring setups start with an 80-channel in-vehicle radio and a suitable external antenna. A handheld is useful as a backup and for anyone outside the vehicle.
