Check your owners manual to be safe. I think you would probably need to disconnect the drive shaft.DENNIS - 10-23-2010 at 09:46 AM

You'll need a seperate insurance policy for a towed vehicle.
I know you know that, but a reminder can't hurt. woody with a view - 10-23-2010 at 09:54 AM

that midland says "water resistant". does that mean it'll go for a swim and still work? or do i need to upgrade to "water proof"?captkw - 10-23-2010 at 02:05 PM

Midland Radios---------Only if you swim with your 2-way. They are so cheap (on sale) that you can replace them when they stop working. And the new
one's claim up to 26 mile transmitting------which means that they are good for up to about 5 miles from my experience.

Yes, it is a marine radio on vhf, comes with a waterproof case.............if you have slippery fingers, use a lanyard.

Yes, Woody, I mis-lead you. Sorry. I was referring to the non-Marine Midland radios, a knee-jerk response without reading things properly. I also
have the Marine radios, and they are impressive for the price.
