Not that it's quite the same thing but there's a pretty significant effort that has been done to implement amateur radio mesh networks using old WiFi routers. The advantage of course is being hams we can use more power, amplifiers, any antennas we want. You know the drill...

What I mean is, this is the normal configuration. This is a 4 tray rack with 3 bikes on it. The whole trend is up for clearance. Flipping the side plates on the hitch bar solves the clearance for a single bike with introduces a hang up point. Not to mention if you add trays you'll be right...

The reverse rise 1UP @Stepsride is talking about can give you clearance for a swing-out but IMO defeats one of the major benefits of a 1UP - the departure angle. The normal 1UP steps each bike up so you're less likely to drag and grind that 4 or 5 feet of overhanging bikes and rack. Running a...

I use Garmin MapManager to install maps. If it's a map set up for use with Basecamp it should be packaged as a .gmap, which you point to in MapManager using File->Install Map. It'll move the map where it needs to on your drive and next time you open Basecamp it'll be under "Maps" to select as...

The front end isn't half bad, pretty reserved compared to the rest of the 1/2 tons.

You have synchronizers in your transfer cases? If so then you have the same issue we Toyota guys have had forever in our manual gear boxes and finding GL4. It's not that GL5 is too slippery (although that may be an issue with shifting). That's a separate issue and depends on the friction...

The FT-7800/7900/8800/8900 and FT-857 all use 6P6C/RJ12/RJ25 for the face connectors. Straight through cables, no cross-over. The MH-48 mics (like on your FT-7900) use 6P6C connectors, too. The MH-59 (like on a FT-857) uses 8P8C, so RJ45 jacks will work. Also straight through.

I wondered if that's what he meant, but thought maybe there was a contractor version for fleets. I see winches on utility company trucks sometimes, for example.

Reading forums threads with people asking if driving around in 4WD high for a week until they hear a bang makes me think I should be thinking about new if I ever buy another truck. "I confused the 4WD knob for the climate fan knob."

Parody of the Michelin Man and the estate of Marilyn Monroe, just to stay on the right side of the fair use doctrine.

Do you suppose posts on this forum, owned by Overland International, Inc., are a noncommercial use? I don't know and not sure I've ever read or agreed to any disclaimers. Content is moderated and it sometimes seems commentary critical of advertisers is curated carefully, so it's not truly an...

NMO means 'N'ew 'MO'torola, which by new they mean Motorola redesigned the way they were mounting antennas to vehicle sheet metal. Not exactly sure what the mount looked like originally nor when exactly the "new" one was introduced, probably in the 1970s or 1980s. It requires in standard form...

So data that is not available to the public. That is the point in the original point. A manufacturer isn't going to go on the record saying can run a tire size or inflation other than what is listed on the door sill. However, if you can get an engineer to speak in private there's sure to be...

Do you mean full size trails, which are OHV recreational routes and not classified roads, which are for conveyance? The ones you need an OHV permit regardless of your vehicle's status with plates or not. https://staythetrail.org/full-size-trails/

That was just a Google image I found. Yes, I do believe the antenna shown is actually a cell antenna. You'll have to ask a more pointed question I think. What you want to do isn't possible with a single antenna.

Aside of the legal questions, modifying ham or business radios for use on GMRS wouldn't solve the basic problem as I see it. The move from CB to ham hasn't been easy because by-and-large the users have fallen into one of two categories. One subset, mostly initial adopters who saw the value in...

Collinear arrays are a different animal. Answer is not always but maybe yes. Assuming it's actually collinear elements and not marketing speaking for an elevated feed point, might mean a counterpoise (e.g. plane or having radials) is unnecessary to achieve a suitable impedance and useful...

Certainly all true, a chicken-and-egg problem. Unfortunately we are now in a situation where GMRS (e.g. UHF CB as the Australians say) could be reasonably suggested but getting everyone to switch again I think is an uphill battle. Maybe Midland can keep up the effort getting people to buy in...

Yup, likely. It would be interesting if they offer guidelines for using a road tire (they call it a modest highway, primarily regional tire) under inflated. Michelin says this for the truck tires they expect to be used off road extensively.
