Trending Installation Accessories at Allcan Distributors

Looking to up your install game? Look no further than Allcan’s comprehensive guide to fulfilling all of your two-way radio installation needs.

#1: Coax Cable

Coax kits are essential for a quick and easy installation. Without these pre-made antenna cables you would be out in the cold, crimping connectors and fiddling with tiny components. These are there to make sure your install goes as smoothly as possible. Allcan sees coax kits commonly used with magnetic mounts.

An example of one of our most popular cable kits is the NMO HF Cable Kit.
