Yes. It may plug in but I don't think it will work. Way different frequencies.that looks like a cb antenna wire on the right. is that how it hooks up?

The CB antenna is not the correct length for the tyt radio. The cheap hand helds work great within the group rides, and short distances. We just like to be able to communicate between groups in case of emergencies.there is 14 at the top of this. i seen after i posted that. not really into buying a 100 dollar radio for 3 days a yr. use. although i did see some hand helds for cheap like 30 bucks for the tyt type

I would check the SWR if you have the means You can get away with a much shorter antenna than a CB antennatrue. something to look into. as long as the swr is right should work i guess. ill buy the radio off of you. if you still have it at take over. ill bring swr meter and we can find out together.

Damn Tim you made me second guess myself. Here is the one I actually ordered and it is water proof. Lol.You could have got the water proof version for $10 more. I bought this yesterday. It is the TYT TH8600WP with antenna $125.00 and free shipping and no sales tax. TYT TH8600WPJTM2P

So it looks like I had $130 for radio and antenna. I used my old cable for my install.

Does your mic have the programmable buttons on the face? The picture in your screenshots shows the standard mic without the programmable buttons.I had just got that radio with everything included for $109 on cyber Monday.

Nice
Can you guys that have the 8600 post a pic of how you have them mounted in the machine? Trying to decide where I want to mount it
I like that, thanks. Is it mounted directly to the soundbar housing?
Yup.. just wrapped some black duct tape around a big stainless hose clamp and tightened it down on the radio mounting bracket it comes with.I like that, thanks. Is it mounted directly to the soundbar housing?
