I watched a few videos yesterday about hooking the Kenwood TM-D710GA up to a phone to plot the APRS beacons from the radio. So I decided to try and do it with my Atoto A6 headunit. I didn't want to pull the unit out of the dash until I got it figured out so I plugged my FTDI USB CAT...

I recently added a remote thermometer to my fridge and noticed that the temp seems to stay in the 40s. If I set it below freezing, it seems to be accurate but at about 30 F or above the temp creeps up until it reaches the mid 40s. I've used the remote thermometer is other settings and it seems...

I picked up two pie irons today. When ever I see them I like to get them because they are great camp cooking utensils. In case you don't know what they are here is one for sale on Amazon. But keep your eyes open at thrift stores and yard sales because you can pick them up used very cheap. Look...

I installed my new radio this weekend and it receives APRS packets with no problem. I talked to someone this morning on simplex who was about 10 miles away so my antenna seems to be working. The GPS icon is flashing and I have the beacon turned on. I've gone through all the settings in the...

I bought MotionX for my iPad yesterday and today I'm trying to add it to my iPhone and am not having any luck. Does anyone have any advice? I bought it through my iPad and not iTunes. When I sign into the App Store on my phone it wants me to pay for the app again. Thanks, Chad

I know this has been asked numerous times before but I don't know if I've seen all the threads or if they are still current. I picked up a Asus Memo Pad 7 LTE today for $40 and am downloading apps on it for use in my Jeep. So far I have GPS Tool, PDF Maps, BackCountry Navigator, Anrdozic, a...

I'm having some problems getting my 2M/70CM antenna mounted on my jeep. I installed the Teraflex Antenna Mount that installs behind the tail light but I have noticed that all the connectors that join the PL239 to the antenna seem to have a PL239 connector on one side and a stud mount on the...

My local Costco (Tucson) has 5 of the Yukon 70 QT coolers. These are about the same price as the Ozark Trail coolers but are made in the U.S.A. They seem to get good reviews and seem very sturdy. The only problem I see with them is that the handles stick out taking up space...

I replaced the pump on my Coleman lantern and didn't put the push on nut on tight enough. I pumped a few times and the pump came apart. The rod came out but the washer and godet are stuck in the bottom of the cylinder. What is the best way to get it out of there? Chad

The Dometic CF50 refrigerator I bought arrived today and while I'm waiting for the bag to arrive I'm trying to figure out some ways to make it better. I wonder if anyone has ideas for tie downs. It would be nice if there was something like the ARB tie down that spanned the entire handle but...

I have a UV-5r, cable and Chirp. I am able to get the contents of the radio downloaded to my Mac but can't seem to get the repeaters I have saved in a .csv file uploaded. I have 98 repeaters in a file that I downloaded from Repeater Book using Chirp's query function. I can open the file but...

I picked up a used Kenwood TM 733A the other day. It has antenna connectors for both 2M and 70CM. Would I be better off getting two antennas or using a duplexer and a dual band antenna. Right now I have a Firestick antenna mounted to a PL-259 connector on one side of my pick up bed tool box for...

I was wondering if it would be a good idea to take my 4 year old tubing on the Salt River. We would go during the week so hopefully there wouldn't be as many crazies. I was thinking about getting a big four person tube with the mesh at the bottom for us to float on. How much water is there...
