It'll be nice to see this truck in May, including the driver.

The truck is sold and has a new home in Utah; it will be seen in Moab again. Thanks Expedition Portal!

Better late than never...moab ROCKS!

I've never used irlp but I'll try to get connected to the reflector.

Yep, the 857 and atas120 make a great combo, both are really low profile yet perform well.

The route to eye of the whale is closed at this time for some reason. I was going to go out of the park that way a couple weeks ago.:(

I can't seem to parse the calender this month, we will be in Sedona from the 27th to the 31st. Hope we can meet up Sunday or Monday, whatever works out...

I'm up for Monday. Just did Fins here in Moab so feeling pretty good about the new truck. I'll post up again later in the week.

I'm 99 44/100ths sure to be there on the 27th AZTroop. I'll post up here a couple days earlier to confirm.

I'm gona be in Sedona by the 26th (after goneMoab the week before). It'll be the first time for me in that area so it would be good to trail along.

The mount is really stable for a lip mount, but it's still a lip mount. I don't think I'd take it on trail above 2.5 Anything rougher and it would be too much torque, something might bend or break. It's a SO-239 connector so removal/replacement just takes seconds and the antenna stows behind the...

I decided to go with the integrated solution for my Yaesu FT-857. The ATAS-120 was pretty easy to install and works well for it's size. On 40 meters I made contacts easily during the day with 50 watts. If I could hear them I could work them. I chose a front mounting point. The antenna is...

If you are up high with a good "radio" view of the horizon, coverage is amazing sometimes. Down in the holes, it's nonexistant for a good majority of the state. As Henry pointed out the SE section is the worst, there just aren't many folks out there.

Aaron has hit the bullseye. When you are out in the boonies, it's dog eat dog. While the vast majority of folks you run across out there are just people having fun, "pirates" do exist. And his last sentence is more than a rule, it's gospel.

I sprung for the atas-120 system for my ft-857, I'll post up some pics of the installation in a couple of days.

The Yaesu rigs are always pretty cool, that company is always the leader in design (but maybe not performance).

I'm definitely no tire expert, my head is spinning after reading this thread. I just went thru this decision on which BFG's to get, 285/75/16 AT or 255/85/16 MT. The narrower tire was appealing for less friction but I really didn't want the MT for road use; most approaches to trails are fairly...

Sounds like you have a pretty good route figured out, your planning for snow is a good idea. Unless it gets really warm early you probably won't make many routes that are unplowed above 4500 ft. The places you note that may have snow are right on, in addition your section from the Umpqua to...
