    Nobo 10.6 vs InTech explore

    imna put hammock anchors near the upper corner where its got the most support, should be fine as long as you dont weight 350lbs and try to make the beast with two backs in it.. the tipouts manage to support 1000# of load at 2 anchor points.. Infact you might be able to attach a hammock to the...

    Say Goodbye to Your CB Radio

    its a bit more complicated than swapping repeater input/output channels, need full duplex and they are operating in half-duplex (ie, not rx when tx).. but since all the repeater channels are defined by FCC putting a pre-tuned duplexer in the chassis would get the job done and help with less...

    Say Goodbye to Your CB Radio

    currently all repeaters are repurposed commercial gear, which is technically not kosher for GMRS use... its a chicken and egg thing; this site tries to track em: https://mygmrs.com/ day to day expenses of operating a repeater is minimal, but honestly.. I keep my repeater private for my party...

    Say Goodbye to Your CB Radio

    I run a GMRS repeater in my camper, solves a few range issues with GMRS.. for example, early last year I got sick at a camp.. I had a radio, wife had a radio.. I called her for help (need more TP) and because I was in a vault toilet and wife was in the aluminum camper they didnt work even though...

    Building an enclosed utility into a camper vs teardrop

    yeah thats same issue I had when looking for a dog friendly camper, I got a 120# Pyrenees and most small campers were not going to work. ended up getting a small toy hauler, which is basically a cargo trailer modified for camping.. works great.. however keeping such a trailer under 1 ton is...

    Say Goodbye to Your CB Radio

    despite the majority of users being unlicensed, its easily worth the $7/yr to keep the FCC from auctioning the band off to commercial interests or allowing it become as useless as CB has been for decades now.. if you cant afford $70 every decade, then stick to the unlicensed FRS radios.. sooo...

    Intech RV

    I dont think so, they I believe they spun off a consumer camper company from the mothership that makes big commercial rigs, that company was founded in 2010: http://www.intechtrailers.com/

    Portable diesel heater from Total Composites

    to import one from the UK is about $800-$900 + shipping, but the pound is pretty weak right now so that might be a bit optimistic.. im hoping i can get one for under $1k out the door but wont be surprised if its more than that. id rather buy one stateside tho and be able to get future...

    Portable diesel heater from Total Composites

    shrug, I camped 4 times last year >10k feet.. thats a pretty low ceiling around these parts, I've got a diesel tow vehicle.. and I'll be putting LP heater in my camper.. mostly because of altitude, but I know the clicking fuel pump would drive me bonkers too. I'm waiting for the truma varioheat...

    Portable diesel heater from Total Composites

    diesel heaters are not optimal for high altitude use, when running lean unburnt propane wont quickly buildup unburnt fuel inside like diesel will.. there's lots of hacks like using 2 fuel pumps and selecting high/low altitude, oxygen sensors and electronic fuel injection (ie, expensive) but...

    Nobo 10.6 vs InTech explore

    awesome, looks great.. might look into putting some tow bags on that rubi, looks like its a lil squatty and these toy haulers tend to be heavier on the tongue than you'd expect.. (im at about 20% currently).. I had em on my last vehicle that was not really designed for towing and loved em so...

    APRS Dog Collar

    https://www.aprsdirect.com/symbol/usage/code/112/table/47 /p = rover SSID's should be 0-15 if you want to ensure your packets are routed properly, -12 would likely be most appropriate for this use as it indicates just a transmitter and no receiving capability.. Path should be WIDE1-1 for...

    APRS Dog Collar

    analogue tracking beacons traditionally used for animal/wildlife tracking tend to be alot less friendly to anything else operating on the frequency.. since they are effectively just a tone generator with no logic.. at least an aprs equipped pupper is just sending a short burst with its exact...

    APRS Dog Collar

    yeah im not saying all APRS trackers are infallible but many have reasonable safety features, some tho are rather stupid.. but many are good enough for most uses, people launch High Altitude Balloons all the time with transmitters they will never see again, let alone be guaranteed full control...

    APRS Dog Collar

    APRS transmitters have alot of failsafes that allow it to be ran unattended like remote stations (time out timers, watchdogs, self monitoring), plus they listen for a period of silence and then broadcast a quick burst of data thats no more than a second or two every min or two, very low duty and...

    APRS Dog Collar

    the dog is not transmitting or operating the radio, and the nature of APRS is it is identifying its self with every packet it sends.. remote stations dont have to always be under direct control either.. we've got a whole network of mountain top repeaters that be completely inaccessible...
