UHF Radio and Antenna Installation

Stay Connected. Stay Safe. Wherever You Go
Whether you're overtaking a road train, descending a remote track, or crossing dunes with your convoy, clear communication can make all the difference. At 4x4 And Outdoor, we supply and install reliable UHF radios and antennas that keep you connected — even when there’s no mobile signal.

With locations in Brisbane and the Gold Coast, our team will help you choose the right setup for your vehicle, where you’ll be driving, and your budget. From compact dash-mounted units to full touring systems with handhelds and remote antennas, we’ll get your communications sorted, installed, and ready to go.

What Is a UHF Radio and How Does It Work?
A UHF (Ultra High Frequency) radio is a two-way communication device that lets you talk directly to other drivers, vehicles, or base stations — no mobile reception or phone plan required. It’s a must-have for off-road touring, convoy travel, remote work sites, and any situation where safety and coordination matter.

Unlike phone or internet-based systems, a UHF radio uses radio waves to transmit and receive messages instantly. You simply select a channel (usually between 1 and 80), press the mic, and talk — anyone tuned to that channel within range can hear and respond.

Fixed-mount UHF radios are installed inside the cabin and paired with an external antenna mounted to your 4WD to maximise range. Handheld UHFs are portable and ideal for short-range use — around camp, between vehicles, or for spotters.

At 4x4 And Outdoor, we offer expert UHF radio installation in Brisbane and the Gold Coast, and supply both fixed and handheld options to suit every setup.

Why Install a UHF Radio in Your 4WD?
When you’re travelling off-road, towing a van, or heading into remote areas, a UHF radio is one of the most valuable safety and communication tools you can have.

A properly installed UHF system allows you to:

Communicate clearly in convoys — coordinate turns, stops, or hazards with other drivers
Talk to spotters during technical driving, reversing or recoveries
Get real-time updates on track conditions or obstacles from oncoming traffic
Call in overtakes safely when towing or passing on narrow roads
Communicate with other UHF users even when you’re out of mobile range, especially in remote touring or backcountry work

Whether you're tackling rugged trails, managing a worksite, or simply keeping the team in sync, a UHF radio gives you the confidence and connectivity to travel smarter and safer.

UHF Antenna Types and Mounting Options

Not all antennas are the same — different sizes, locations, and gains affect how they perform.

We’ll match the design, height, and mounting location to suit your vehicle and where you drive most. Common options include:

Bonnet, fender, bull bar, or roof rack mounts
Gutter mounts, rear bars, or spare wheel brackets
Fold-down or quick-release mounts for low-clearance garages or touring setups
Short whips for urban or general use
Heavy-duty radomes or spring-base antennas for long-range outback driving

We also help you choose the right antenna gain — lower gain for hilly terrain, higher gain for flat, open country.

Where possible, we aim for optimal signal performance and a clean, tidy install that suits the look of your vehicle.
