As the original poster I can say that I for one do not mind the sidetrack. I realize the limitation on VHF (2m) and that is why I started the thread. 2m APRS seems like a cool tool to have. I have done plenty of travel in convoy and find it very annoying. In order for it to work effectively you...

Wow Thanks for all the great information. Your comments really have answered a lot of questions for me about possible applications. I love the big hat/ no cows analogy, and I must admit to fitting that description a bit. I like to have a nice setup that I could do XYZ with even thought I don't...

Long distance, mobile HF communications inside the US. I know a lot of you guys are using VHF radios in your rigs. I’m in process of setting mine up right now but what I would really like eventually is to have an all band of some kind. There was talk in another thread about running APRS on HF...

Have you done this? Perhaps this should be a new thread but what does the antenna for 30m mobile look like? Is it practical for an off road vehicle. Most of the mobile HF antennas I have seen look like they would not do well coming in contact with trees rocks etc. KJ6EUO

Must have pics!

Anyone tried Krylon Fusion? I'd love to find a more permanent solution.

Cool thanks for the tip. I think I got it changed but it still shows up wrong on a search. Hoping it just takes a bit to go through the system.

KJ6EUO As of today. Placerville, CA Still need to get a radio. They got my name spelled wrong in the BD though so I still have to get that fixed. Update: Forum Name: Mashurst First Name: Mark Callsign : KJ6EUO Class : General Radio : Alinco DR-590T, Alinco DR1200T, Galaxy DX99V Freq usually...

How did you get your Call so fast? I thought it took a week or more. That looks like a nice rig hummm...

Wow that is very interesting. That would be very cool for what I want to do. I passed elements 2 and 3 this weekend so It's time to start shopping for a setup. I would love to know what happens when they move. I wonder if it just updates the way-point. That would be super cool. Thanks for the info.

Sorry I meant 710 not 110. I didn't think the GPS V would support other locations but I was hoping I was wrong. I really don't want an LCD much less a whole laptop in my rig but it sounds like if I want to see other APRS users I may not have a choice. I wonder if there is a small net-book that...

Thanks! That give me some good ideas. So with that setup can you see other APRS users in the screen of the GPS V? I may be using my setup for Search And Rescue and I know a lot of the guys have APRS. This is also making me really lean toward the Kenwood 110 rather than the Yaesue 8800.

I would love to see some pics of this as I have a GPS V plus. I haven't got a radio yet but the d710a is on my short list. Did you made up your own cables? Thanks

I've had good luck adding a bit of dry rice as a mechanical means of scrubbing the inside if they get green. I use bleach as well. I try to remember to put a bit in when I store them (full) to keep the funk down.

Email me pics and I'll put them up for ya

Still have it. New link http://sacramento.craigslist.org/zip/1447561998.html

OK actually I keep changing which one I have on my desktop... Man I need to get out there.

Thanks for fixing the pics. I love that area. I was going to head out there for thanksgiving but the new suspension for my new rig will not be here in time. We may go anyway and take the subaru. I set the castle valley shot as my desktop. Is that shot up truck and the abode shelter in lockhart...

I'd be happy to host them for you. I didn't get a chance to see them. http://www.markashurst.com/HostedPics/
