I have a Yaesu FT1XD handheld, when I'm hitting the trails I take it with me, obviously as others said, we have a lot of coverage here in Colo., perhaps because we have so much back country travel. When I bought mine, the first thing Ham Radio Outlet did was toss the rubber duck antenna in the...

I downloaded an app on my phone for Repeater book. Checked with my local Ham Radio Outlet store, they said a lot people use it, and it updates more frequently than the book

Those great, fairly customizable it looks like to suit the Xterra and Frontier, based on offset and bolt pattern?

Check with Heftyfab.com see if he has anything out yet

Wife and I looked at these last night at the RV show here in Denver, very nice, very impressive, although they didn't have the Air Opus model at the show, they did list it as available. The price though, even with the show discount was still $24,000. Yes, I realize the quality and what it's...

Perusing ebay, I see all these other radios, TYT, QYT, Baofeng, Anytone, etc., for much cheaper than Icom, Yaesu, etc. Are they any good, especially for a beginner? Tried reading some reviews on Eham and other sites, but it became confusing. I'd see 10 people giving 3 or 4 stars to the things...

Check with www.nisstec.com they have a lot of available stuff and can point you in various directions as well

While there is a lot of truth to the notion that SAR because of affiliation with LEO may turn you down, it depends on the organization and LEO. I have a federal felony conviction from '91, actually got my EMT cert. shortly after my conviction. From'93 to '96 volunteered for a SAR team that was...

I've attached a piece of steel to my roof rack and putting a mag mount 2M antenna up, easily removed

Those Velcro lights won't last long. My ARE topper came with them from the factory, made it a year before they all started to fall off. Since I bought mine from new from Suburban toppers, I talked to them, ARE makes a kits using mercury switches that attaches to the sides of the topper (I have...

Hagerty or similar were my thoughts as well

If you are going to use airbags, get extensive practice with them before you go out in the field the first time. Fire Dept.'s and HD wrecker companies practice with these things a couple of times per year, and they still have accidents with them, some times with catastrophic results. Friend of a...

Took my test this past weekend Forum: Colodak (need to get this changed) First: Eric Call sign: KE0WND (new call sign) Radio: None Yet Location: Colorado

One word of caution, touch paint is like hens teeth, apparently Nissan is building everything in Silver and not enough touch up paint, I had to buy mine off ebay. Otherwise, great purchase.

Not sure who told you they discount the Colorado, a fully loaded Z71 Colorado Crew Cab diesel short bed is $45K, take it or leave it priced. The new ZR2 Colorado's are expected to be $50K. Local Napa auto talk show on Sat. mornings, the one host does vehicles tests as well, in his opinion, the...

Courtesy of Nissan giving us no room under the hood, it was a PITA to wire. Quake offers two different switches, one is a large rocker, the other is a large (maybe 3" x 1") pushbutton panel. Mine came with the rocker, I went back and got the pushbutton, have it mounted with double side tape...

The LC from Ronny Dahl's page is adjustable, it can be angled or lay flat, if you watch the video of that vehicle, you notice it changes position.

Wife and I were having a discussion of doing a trip to Yellowstone and Glacier either late spring (Mid-May) or early fall (mid-Sept.), going to depend on some finances.

In January I had the Nisstec 2" lift installed on my '15 Frontier. 2" spacer in the front with SPC UCA and an AAL with U-bolt flip in the rear. Truthfully, I think it firms the whole truck up enough that it doesn't ride like a car, not harsh at all. I've got a CCLB so the extra few lbs of the...

Haven't updated in quite some time. A few things have happened to the truck and some life changes have caused other adjustments. Right about the time of the last update, had a kidney stone, which turned into kidney cancer, that put some plans on hold and adjusted some other plans. But, I've...
