I'm in the process of upgrading my storage capability, and since I had an old Yakima rack (purchased in 1992 when I had my 1990 Mitsubishi Montero) I figured I'd try to re-use as much of the old rack as possible. Of course, the Monty had gutters, while my 4runner does not, and so my gutter...

Does anybody use 6m anymore? Just curious. I know in the military (way, way back in the 80's) we used to use radios in this range (~50mhz or so.) I know 50mhz is at the very low end of the VHF spectrum, does that mean it's more likely to "skip" than a higher frequency would? I guess it...

For the VECs or former VECs out there: Can someone walk me through the process? I'm a little confused. :confused: Before you ask, yes, I've read: 1. The HAM radio FAQ on this page 2. The ARRL web site. 3. The FCC web site. Also, FYI I had a HAM license about 18 years ago (KB0LOG)...

Already posted on T4R.org, got not response, so I thought I'd try it here. Okay, I got my outside temp gauge and single-pod pillar mount (from http://www.egauges.com) So I need to install it (probably this weekend.) So I need to find two things: A power source and a way to tap into the...

Gotta thank you ExPo guys, if it wasn't for you my wallet would be clogged full of money and it would probably give me back problems. :sombrero::sombrero::sombrero: Okay, seriously, after reading through the HAM vs GMRS thread I started I've come around to the fact that if I want decent comms...

Who else loves to take photos of abandoned buildings, derelict vehicles or equipment, and other relics of the recent past? I mostly like stuff that's not old enough to be considered "historic." Here are a few of my recent pics: Abandoned building and derelict truck, Hwy 93 and Old Lincoln...

First off, this is not an "Expedition trailer." At least, I don't plan on taking this one off-road. It's strictly a low-clearance street trailer. Okay, so last year I thought having a trailer would be a good idea. Especially with having 2 motorcycles in the family, a trailer would be a...

Now that I have a dedicated "DD" I want to get a little more serious with my off roader (99 4runner.) Part of that includes upgrading my comms. [ **and before anyone says it, no I'm not getting a 2m or 440Mhz HAM. BTDT (KB0LOG), IMO CB is more useful for the kind of traveling I do. Just...
