Yep, pretty simple. Problem that I came across was I set the global to 156.7 TX only for the local repeaters. Went to the next county over and went to use one that is CSQ only (dumb actually but that's a different story) and tried it. Saw the speaker light up on the radio but no audio when the...

Exactly, just like T and TSQ. One is encode only the other is encode/decode for CTCSS. The GME doesn't seem to be able to do the encode only as it was designed and sold to do.

The single tone is normal for the cheaper FRS and GMRS radios. The higher end radios usually can do split tones for repeaters. The GME rep indicated that the radios will do a split tone for those repeaters that take them. Some repeaters still have a tone only on the input but don't put out a...

Picked one up at Expo East. Mixed reviews so far. They have some great ideas and it is great to see something other than the other big marketing brand for a choice. They still have bugs in them that cause some disappointment. The app seems good until you try to interface it with the radio. It...

GMRS traveler's aid frequency has been 462.675MHz with CTCSS of 141.3, FRS in some places was channel 1. CB was channel 9 back in the day. Marine as stated above is 16 for distress and 9 for calling. Good old standardization at it's best. :rolleyes:

I tried the beta version too when it first launched. I was never happier than when it ended. It does not play well with Wi-Fi-calling. I would constantly get dropped calls when using Wi-Fi-calling. It would say that I was connected to starlink for texting but it was still inside a building and...

Why not just get another WR120 and put in the SAME code for where you camp? I have an old WR300 (replaced by the WR400) and I just run it off 12V DC. You can drill down to the alerts you want for the area your in. It's cheaper and more flexible than a hand held radio and has a better antenna...

I may have thought the M/S was more of a monster mudder I guess. I looked a my Disco 1 today and realized that it has a Defender LTX M/S on as a spare. It actually looks just about the same as the AT2, just doesn't have the load capacity of the AT2.

The other reason for the AT2 is that's about the only choice for my truck. The load rating is higher for the AT2 and since it is a tonner that's what I kind of need. They have worked well like I mentioned before. I looked at the Michelin configurator and there was the AT2 and I don't recall the...

I live in empty Delaware. It's usually a 3+ hour drive to find any gravel forest roads at best. Given the fact that the AT are usually quieter than MS or MT I went for the more highway tire. Gotta make the drive to the trailheads which is 95% of the time on the tires. They came on the truck and...

Just forked out the money for another set of LTX AT2. Hope they last as long as the last. I was at 83K+. Probably could have gone another 2K but am going to travel a bit this summer. I just wanted to have a little extra tread to explore with. Not 1 flat with that set and didn't get stuck, though...

The side outlets in the zippered pouches are good. I just didn't like that the USB cords would stick out and could get damaged folding the bed panels up and down. Finally dug around and found some angles USB plug / extension cords that work well. L-com USB 3.0 Female to male Type A right angle...

Coming up on 80K with the first set on the truck. No problems yet, on road, off road and pulling horse trailers through barn yard mud... Replacement will be the same, even the size. No need to change what is working well.

Curiosity folks were out in full force today for some reason. Alu-cab should send us brochures to hand out. Would make stopping at places easier if we could just hand them a FAQ sheet... :rolleyes:

So I just changed from the Exped to the Hest. Mind you I have only napped in it at horse show once so far but I think I like it overall for a few reasons. 1. Often I'd forget to open the exhaust valve of the Exped and it would make it tough to close up. I'd reopen the cabin and deflate it and...
