Its called a Monroney Sticker, and there are potential fines that can be given if they are altered illegally.. they are supposed to be generated from manufacturer build sheet, so if it dont match.. perhaps you can call shenanigans? dunno IANAL.

TM-281's are fantastic radios, very sensitive and rugged.. like milspec rugged, and cheap.. I got two of em used.. didnt pay much more than like $65 each.. using em for aprs packet radio on my trailer and at home. In back country 2m is king over 70, dont really need a dual band all that much...

I'd like to see an easily hackable Mobile SDR that could TX from HF to UHF and had multiple antenna IO's.. that didnt cost nearly 5 figures.

because I can, and I have the ability.. shrug, was a fun technical challenge and I'm like super into Audio/Video geekdom. Had some gang bangers renting a house down the culdesac infront of my house, they are gone now but someone followed em home at 2am and shot up their house from the end of my...

it sounds like your already going to have issues fitting enough solar in that limited area, if you want hot water.. you should go with a passive or LP system that adds no additional electrical loads.

Would take one pissed off LEO to bring that up, my parents probably have 200k miles w/a hitch mounted cargo hauler and never had complaint.. I run an automatic license plate reader on my street and the number of plates being obsecured w/hitches, bike racks, hitch mounted platforms, mud, snow, so...

maybe a modular system you can swap out rigs? or just own it and go full blown radio shack? Going for a wide open china import or a modifiable name brand ham sounds like it'd be worthwhile, just get your self a programming cable and double check all your work.. If your out in the field and have...

FCC is way to stupid to allow anything useful like that.. the BTECH is not a FCC certified radio, its a grey market import.. its Legal for HAM Operation only because HAM's are allowed to build their own radios from the ground up and dont require certified devices.. its basically China exploiting...

any name brand ham radio designed for US market will not work out of the box on GMRS, they will also be locked within their respective frequencies.. much like GMRS is to theirs. my Kenwood required removing of an aforementioned resistor to unlock its transmit capabilities, known colloquially as...

how are yeh gonna prime it? the pump wont do it, climb up on the roof and fill it up there? or some other pump to start the cycle and let the low power one take over? Gonna leave it always primed and deal with that weight up high and just hope prime is never lost? Just make one of these:

Keep in mind, most DC pumps dont have the head to even get 6ft up in the air, most only trickle a little bit out with only a few feet of head pressure.. only ones I know of are the high pressure pumps and that would make it a maintenance nightmare, I dont think those pumps are rated for...

this is the one on the intech you pictured last: https://shop.intechtrailers.com/shop/flyer/electrical-lighting-flyer/interior-lighting-flyer/angled-led-porch-light/

I suppose you are right, guess I never looked close enough: Nobody licensed would wanna use half watt anyhow, so no big loss.

If your non GMRS radio will not go to low enough power setting to properly operate on a frequency, simply do not operate on that frequency.. I dont even have those half watt channels programmed into my HAM rig, because I cannot do that low of output.. the party you are communicating with will...

the reason it wants to be so close to the battery is so any voltage drop is negligible.. these forums are full of fridge owners w/built in LVD's having issues operating em on any significant distance of wiring. however if you are concerned about heat, you can put it some place more...

Yes, if they are certified for GMRS, they will always follow the GMRS rules. Are you going to use them? and know how to use them such that you wont be causing problems for other users? This thread along with statements like this concern me, personally I desoldered a resistor and modified my...

UV5R would do a fine job, 5W is plenty of power for typical LoS operations.. but to answer your questions. 1. Yes 2. Its not type certified for GMRS, so technically its not legal.. 25W is fine tho for GMRS license holders (ham is inapplicable) on select frequencies.. cant blast that on all...

Beware, many LP tankless water heaters have altitude ceilings much much lower than 9k ft.. how long are these hunting trips? do you need to keep 30 gallons from freezing in 3 days? easy, just insulate it.. a couple weeks? eh, yeah probably gonna need some sort of heatsource every once and a...

Size of the Fuse is not determined by the Battery Protect, but the supporting electrical wire.. it needs to be such that its high enough to avoid nuisance trips by your appliances, but low enough that it'll pop before wires start to melt and start a fire. Use this for helping you pick an...
