LBJs checked out fine but I'll keep an eye on them. Pounded out some dents and replaced the busted headlights and busted bumper

The short answer is yes, a handheld is worth it. Paired with the mag mount antenna you'll get fine performance. With the rubber ducky, you'll be lucky to get the 1 mile you are looking for.

That will be excellent for trail communication and traveling. I have that same antenna on a baofeng and while it is way better than stock, the 20 dollar dual band mag mount from Amazon will blow it out of the water. It is small and can go on a fender or be removed until you need\want it.

Roger. I wasn't familiar with that issue. I'll do some research and take a detailed look at them. Thanks!

I've had over 300k on a 22r a few years back--No plans on tearing into it unless something needs attention to keep it running. As long as the timing chain is quiet, I think it will be fine.

No timing belt on the 3rz...Timing chain! The front end was recently gone through in order to pass Virginia inspection and is pretty tight. The rear end has some wobbles though. I think I'll need some new spring bushings at a minimum

Well, Since my T100 has made the rounds from my mother in law, to my sister, to my brother, to my niece, to a guy back in my home town, it seems like it is a safe bet that I won't be getting it back. I wanted something inexpensive with a manual transmission as the kids are starting to drive...

I have the 0 degree (F) mummy bag with the insulated bivy shelter and it works very very well, especially when coupled with a quality ground pad(I use the thermarest accordion style pads). I was out last week in 12 degrees (F) ambient and -5 with windchill. I wore long johns and a fleece top...

The disc is likely worthless although it can be read by any computer with a CD drive. Download chirp, plug in the cable and the radio and then we can troubleshoot if things aren't working. There are too many variables out there to troubleshoot all of the what ifs.

rnArmy, I don't think anybody is trying to pick on you or your radio, they are just trying to let you know that your radio is an exact and overpriced copy of a 30 dollar radio that can do EVERYTHING that yours can. The only functional difference is that your radio is pre-programmed with a...

It has been awhile since I had one but I seem to remember that they eventually tend to fail due to high heat in the car compromising connections.

Agree with the above. I have the uv5r-tp and the advertised 8 watts won't do nearly what 3 watts will do from my old Kenwood ht. But, if I use an sma\bnc adapter to install the Kenwood antenna on the baofeng, it works very well and will easily do what you are wanting.

I am interested but it looks like I found one locally that will fit a little better. The ARB is a good bit bigger than my tent. If this one doesn't work out I'll be in touch though

Thank you, I'll contact them to see what they can do. Are their prices reasonable? Thanks! Dan

Hi folks, I know many people order new covers for their tents when they get weathered--just seeing if anyone would like to part with one of their old ones that is still mostly serviceable--exact fit isn't that important as long as it isn't smaller than the below measurements. My tent is one...

My apologies also to the OP--I was simply trying to let you know that there are options out there that are much more capable and flexible than choosing one particular radio service. I am saying that expressing moral outrage at the violation of a government regulation (not a criminal law) when...

As mentioned already, the really isn't a strictly legal way to accomplish this. I will say that I have never had an occasion to transmit on the gmrs band as I have yet to come across someone with a gmrs specific radio(mostly the frs\gmrs combos) I know they are out there and very solid radios...

No worries, I expected a bit of a tongue lashing here as it is more than fair. Just as a note, I am very careful about what I do communication wise and do my level best to meet the intent of the FCC regulations while not always following them to the letter. Have you ever exceeded the speed...

This is a bit of a can of worms... . So, to start off with here is my one line assessment of each capability . FRS--Low power, low range, cheap, limited channels no license required GMRS--almost nobody has these, decent range, repeaters are few and far between, license required CB--decent...
