Could a moderator make this sticky please? Thanks for the responses all. Keep them coming for your area. its one thing to check a repeater directory. Its another to have locals sharing their knowledge.

Could we have a sticky with no comments other than local overland/off road frequencies? I know there was a post or two a while ago I lost track of advocating 146.46 as a national overland simplex frequency. There were regional frequencies as well but I forgot them. Could be a useful tool for...

I have my frequencies set up this way...first 10 or so are everyday use. Next lot (need to count) are all the regional ARES/RACES frequencies. (Oddly these are all simplex and most local repeaters). Finall a small section for all NOAA WX channels and a short list of repeaters for the ride from...

The challenge is the latency and time-outs for packets. When a device communicates over RF it sends information out in batches. An acknowledgement of receipt or a query about a corrupt packet is the reply the message originator gets. Well, it it takes to long to hear back from the recipient then...

Ease of use and reliability I can say kenwood. For reliability but menus that will take learning go with Yaesu. For cutting edge and fiddling do Icom. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Stunningly gorgeous pictures and what a great experience for your little one. Good work with the thread! *EDIT: I may need to steal that last picture for a desktop wall paper on the work computer!

Nice clamp mount! Not sure on the antenna placement. Branches will grab that thing. Might consider, if you keep it there, rivet and weld so you have a super strong electrical bond and a mechanical back-up. I have an HF antenna mounted that way on the back of my vehicle.

Really you are dealing with second best solutions. Center of the roof free and clear is the ultimate spot. It's neither practical or possible here so on to plan B. Drill above the Stars and Stripes as high as you can if you can gain access. Run the cable down to a grommet or boot and the coax...

Hood may be one of the better places. One option could be right on the piece of bodywork in front of the windshield opposite from the AM/FM antenna. Should be able to keep it out of your main view otherwise you need to remove it and replace it every time you open the hood.

Soft top or hard top Jeep?

Borrego60...Curious about one thing. Why not stick with recycled motorola for your V/UHF ham gear? Its something I am pondering when time comes to buy a new truck and do a build.

Good for you and welcome aboard! The Chinese stuff has a lot of question marks. They seem to be very hit or miss brand to brand. Assume you get what you pay for when dealing with radios you are not familiar with. That being said, many folks have good things to say about Baofeng (not sure of...

Could be arranged...:chef:

Be curious how complete the constellation is. Also if its geosynchronous or geostationary orbits. They merely say they did a $1 billion upgrade. Well that might be 2 birds...

Nice work. Very professionally done and something to be very proud of. Too bad I do not live closer. There might be some steak and beer in your future...

Thing was a museum piece. Fantastic condx. Bought yesterday pick up this week. Thanks again all on behalf of my sister Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

As a follow up we are looking at a 99 Forrester with 50k miles tomorrow. Not sure why miles so low so weary but def appreciate all the info here. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Subscribed. Great story so far. Looking forward to the next half of the trip!

Cross band repeating has its uses. If you are stationary and want to have a base camp from which to hike you could set up a larger base station antenna at your camp and then use a repeater to be free from one spot. So while dad is fishing and the kids are hiking and mom is having quiet time at...
