scanner on atv

[cbrrider06]

Hello I am in the process of installing a scanner on my atv( rs pro-2051) with stock antenna. I was wondering if anybody has any suggestions, pics, or any other info that could be help full. Also any type of dry box that could be bought or made to keep it out of the rain, mud, dust, ect????? Thanks Jason

Look around some of the Marine after market suppliers for a good drybox, you might even find something with a clear face that would be designed for a stereo on a boat. I would also work on some serious vibration dampening mounts, I know my Kodiak 450 doesn't exactly ride like a Lincoln.

A marine box that has the o ring type seal not the weather strip type seal ( They will leak) Also invest in a PA speaker due to weather proofing and as DelcoLHFC stated some good vibration mounts and I would go with a rubber ducky antenna for durability........Good Luck and show us some pics when ya git er done..............Hoser

Just another thought on the antenna a spring loaded one would work also hoser

I don't have a atv and may be ignorant on the situation...but why do you require a scanner mounted on an atv? Would it not be better to maybe carry a handheld and be able to get off of the atv without having to remove earphones/plugs and what not. I'm sorry I just don't see a point in putting a scanner on an atv.

Why so negative!!!!

Maybe I don't have a handheld, so I can mount a base unit which has a speaker so no need for headphones!!!!

wont that speaker be kind of hard to hear over the atv engine noise.
