Got the 275's temporarily installed in 2 of the Jeeps over the weekend. My wife is still trying to figure out how she wants to run an antenna on her JK so for now we just have the included stubby mag mount stuck to the top of the windshield frame. Not perfect by any stretch, but working well...

Had a feeling you'd reply Dave, almost just PM'd you instead of posting. The antenna is mounted to the ladder. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

So ground plane . . . . I probably don't have much on the roof of my 5th wheel as the roof is not metal. There is a little bit on the ladder, but would I benefit from adding something like this to my setup...

Is that map showing LOS from the purple marker?? If so, how/where did you do that?

Finished installing the MXT115 in my 5th wheel over the weekend. Mounted the Midland 6db gain antenna on the ladder. Haven't really tested it much, but as expected it blew away the handhelds when operated side by side. Going to buy a bunch of the MXT275's next and install them in the Jeeps...

The lack of a dedicated number has always been my #1 complaint about my inReach. I had one of the original Spot devices and loved the simplicity of it, but the 2-way capability that only the inReach offered at the time made me switch over. I still do find that my inReach is generally more...

The local repeater would be sweet, and really my dad and I would be the ones who would want that functionality, but there's no way I'm getting him to take a Ham test lol. At 66 I don't want him too far away from help when he's out hiking/hunting. But I think he'll be close enough where the...

I have definitely considered a mast, and will likely install one at some point. Our land sits at a pretty high point as it is (we can see from Spinney Mtn Reservoir to Kenosha Pass for those familiar with the area) but a little extra height will certainly help, especially when using the...

I've used CBs for 20 years or so and have always been a bit disappointed. I've tuned antennas and all that, but never bothered with doing anything further than that. They work great on trail rides, everybody has one, no license, low cost of admission. I had looked for a while into getting a...

This is a spammer, notice the "link" at the end of his post.

For completion's sake, I got an email overnight saying my license was granted. Less than 48 hours from application to receiving the license.

Yup, it just shows "Submitted."

What's the usual turnaround time on the GMRS license? Have a couple of the Midland radios at home and waiting for my license to go through so I can test them out a bit.

Personally, I'd spend time in Ouray/Silverton/Lake City before Telluride. The town as a whole generally looks down their noses at the 4x4 community. A buddy of mine took his WK2 with us to Moab a few years ago. I think there you will spend more time on "dirt roads" and less on trails. It...

The WK2 is a surprisingly capable vehicle. Ground clearance and articulation aren't the best, but we took ours all over Ouray and Silverton. Only trail we didn't do was Poughkeepsie. But if your wife won't do Hell's Revenge, I'm guessing she won't be up for Black Bear! Great highway manners...

We're somewhat protected from the wind where we're at, had planned on a decently tall pole. And it's windy enough down there where the max wind speed that the turbine is rated to is certainly a concern. The area sees wind over 40mph somewhat regularly. We don't need a ton of output from since...

Looking at using wind to supplement my solar setup. It's not really an expedition rig, but I have the HF 100w solar panel kit for 5th wheel and am thinking about adding a small wind setup. The area we primarily camp in can get windy and I figured that would be a good way to bring in a little...

I'd rather have one of these.

I've been meaning to come back to this post and thank you for posting it. We've been in the market for one of the changing rooms and the sale price was the tipping point so we ordered it. Thanks!
