    Why do I want APRS???

    My last weekend cruise was out of cell phone coverage and very lightly traveled. Should I break down, get injured or do not turn up, someone would have an idea of where to start looking. Each day, when the solar charges the battery the system would automatically attempt to update my position and...

    12v High Amp Anderson Style quick connector for 0-2 Gauge wire

    Are those 350A, 175A, 120A or 75A connectors. Do they come with the crimp lugs in 0 or AWG2?

    Finally a radio technician that actually knows what he is doing!!!!!!

    My hands are never leaving your sight. Next frame, hands out of sight... LOL.. Aren't amps illegal on CB's? He may know what he is doing, but it wasn't particularly informative. It was also a pain to go through the whole youtube video, with no contact info, and finally the facebook page to...

    HF APRS

    I have made contacts in Japan, Serbia, all over with the ATAS 120.. It seems fine to me, but you wouldn't want to hit anything but the whip with a tree branch. The upside is you can use it on many bands, the down side is the mounting concerns. I haven't had any problems or broke mine yet, but...

    100+ ambient Temp - ARB 50qt - 100 watt solar panel - Not enough?

    Excellent, my 100w panel is doing the job as well, even as large as a 72L so far is no problem. Thank you for the update.. This sort of confirms my opinion of the NL split system. The make some nice stuff, that is not a device I am a fan of.

    Why do I want APRS???

    I find it handy when I want to know where my car is. Or when I want someone else to know where it is..

    Question about Rash Rings / Bead Lock for LR3 wheels

    Nobody is offended. It's not practical to keep a 2nd set of rims around and swap them out to hit the trails. For some odd reason the design of the 18's seem to allow rocks to pup up and scratch your rims, no matter how careful you are. I have gotten rock rash barely moving.

    Question about Rash Rings / Bead Lock for LR3 wheels

    I'd actually consider a set of those if they were not so overpriced. I've scratched a few rims along the way.

    Joining the club (part 2)

    In retrospect, I might not do the snorkel the 2nd time.. No complaints against the snorkel, but the cabin air intake becomes the next weak link. Over the hood deep, and you will get water in that. Each wheel height is calibrated and set to have the vehicle at the correct height. This changes...
