Radio Mobile is software by Roger Coud VE2DBE. The program simulates RF propagation and is for free to the amateur radio community.
I hope that this website will be your guide for Radio Mobile and in to the exciting world of radio planning.

When you are new to Radio Mobile or you are running Radio Mobile while having a question click on these screenshots. It will bring you directly to the part of this website that covers the screen. From there you can navigate onwards to the function you want more to have more information about.
Radio Mobile Online is a radio wave propagation prediction tool dedicated to amateur radio.
It uses digital terrain information and a mathematical model to simulate radio transmissions between two fixed sites (radio link) or between a fixed site and a mobile (Radio coverage).

MXM600 helps reduce your total cost of ownership. Expensive and time-consuming radio management chores are streamlined with Wi-Fi Over-The-Air-Programming (OTAP). Your radios can be updated as soon as they are in range of pre-configured Wi-Fi.
We designed the MXM600 to be easy to install and automated some of the configuration work needed when setting up a mobile radio. You can also reuse your MTM5000 series audio accessories.
Use the M-Radio Control app on a Bluetooth paired smartphone or tablet to control the MXM600. The app is particularly useful for deeper interaction with the radio, such as searching for talkgroups, sending status updates, enabling/disabling gateway/repeater modes or SDS messages.
Mobile Radios (mobile car radio) is a walkie talkie for car. The power of two way radios for cars can reach up to 50w. Use an antenna external to the car body. The communication distance can reach dozens of KM. Commonly used with off-road vehicles, Recreational Vehicle (RV), UTV, trucks, construction vehicles, taxis and even private cars.
SSB radios transmit at 12 watts instead of the standard 4 watts, allowing your signal to reach 3x as far. Whoever you're communicating with will also need an SSB equipped radio to understand you properly. SSB radios also transmit on the standard CB channels at 4 watts, so you'll always be able to talk to "general" CBers as well.
Instead of manually flipping through channels to discover chatter, radios with channel scanning can be set to constantly scan all 40 channels for activity. They'll stop on a channel when transmissions are detected so you can listen in.
Radios with Public Address (PA) accommodate the connection of a PA horn via wire that is mounted outside the vehicle. With the flip of a switch, the radio can be transformed from a CB to serving as the microphone for your own intercom, broadcasting your voice to those outside the vehicle via the horn.
Bluetooth equipped radios let you connect your phone, allowing you to have cell conversations using your CB. The callers voice will come out of your CB speaker, and your CB mic will act as the primary microphone for the call. For most models, you don't need to depress the CB mic to talk so you can converse hands-free.
Right Channel Radio is my go-to store for my mobile radio communication accessories. They have a superb supply of mobile vehicle mounts and cables to meet most any need. I have used their RG58 cable, antenna mounts, and external speakers for my Ham radio hobby. I also purchased my Cobra mobile CB radio from these fine folks.
Comp is great they called me to check the address I don't have voicemail they called me back again, Never seen that. the product itself is good I had a old radioshack cable and by far is better then what it was
I'm so thrilled I discovered this company. The entire purchasing experience was unusually special. Their prices were decent, but their customer relations were out of this world excellent!! Along with being very business like, they were genuinely interested in customer satisfaction. They were attentive, threw in some humor, followed up throughout the delivery...just awesome ! I will definitely utilize them again,, and recommend them to others highly!!

I was looking at this antenna, but another ham told me that I need 1/4 wave or 5/8 wave to get 50 Ω impedance. A 1/2 wave antenna will not be 50 Ω so I will need to add an antenna tuner (or risk burning up the radio).
An antenna of this kind should be designed to have a 50 ohm impedance (when properly installed on top of a ground plane such as a car roof). It probably won't be exactly 50 ohms across both bands, but that's fine as long as the difference (as measured in SWR) is not too high. Usually the trouble is if you're using an antenna not designed for that band.
This is either not a true 1/2 wave antenna (I see it has a loading coil in the middle) or the description is made of lies. 1/2 wave end-fed antennas require specialized matching networks. While this antenna's length is close to 1/2 wave, it also has a loading coil in the middle, which means its electrical behavior is not equal to that of a 1/2 wave wire.
I agree with most of the previous answers. A mobile antenna is designed to give 50 ohms at the feedpoint by having a loading coil, or inductor, at the base of the antenna. And generally the only way to match a short vertical antenna is to physically change the length of the antenna. Usually mobile type antenna whips are a bit long and the only way to get a good match is to cut a small bit off the base of the whip and check. But any radio should be able to deal with a slight mismatch as mobile communications tend to be short so won't produce smoke.
Mobile radio or mobiles refer to wireless communications systems and devices which are based on radio frequencies (using commonly UHF or VHF frequencies), and where the path of communications is movable on either end. There are a variety of views about what constitutes mobile equipment. For US licensing purposes, mobiles may include hand-carried, (sometimes called portable), equipment. An obsolete term is radiophone.[a][1][2][3]
A sales person or radio repair shop would understand the word mobile to mean vehicle-mounted: a transmitter-receiver (transceiver) used for radio communications from a vehicle. Mobile radios are mounted to a motor vehicle usually with the microphone and control panel in reach of the driver. In the US, such a device is typically powered by the host vehicle's 12 Volt electrical system.
Some mobile radios are mounted in aircraft (aeronautical mobile), shipboard (maritime mobile), on motorcycles, or railroad locomotives. Power may vary with each platform. For example, a mobile radio installed in a locomotive would run off of 72 or 30 Volt DC power. A large ship with 117 V AC power might have a base station mounted on the ship's bridge.
The distinction between radiotelephones and two-way radio is becoming blurred as the two technologies merge.[citation needed] The backbone or infrastructure supporting the system defines which category or taxonomy applies. A parallel to this concept is the convergence of computing and telephones.
Radiotelephones are full-duplex (simultaneous talk and listen), circuit switched, and primarily communicate with telephones connected to the public switched telephone network.[citation needed] The connection sets up based on the user dialing.[citation needed] The connection is taken down when the end button is pressed. They run on telephony-based infrastructure such as AMPS or GSM.[citation needed]
Two-way radio is primarily a dispatch[citation needed] tool intended to communicate in simplex or half-duplex modes using push-to-talk, and primarily intended to communicate with other radios rather than telephones. These systems run on push-to-talk-based infrastructure such as Nextel's iDEN, Specialized Mobile Radio (SMR), MPT-1327, Enhanced Specialized Mobile Radio (ESMR) or conventional two-way systems. Certain modern two-way radio systems may have full-duplex telephone capability.
