    ham licence for aprs? aprsdroid specifically... why?

    Aprs was developed by Ham operator Bob Bruninga, WB4APR. You have things backwards, as it was the Ham community that developed the technology and protocols. You can learn more at www.aprs.org where the whole technology is described. Yes, you should have a Ham license to use it, otherwise you...

    Advice on purchase of 2005 LR3

    My LR3 now has 174k miles and yes it has had lots of service work. My annual budget for service is $5k...if it goes over that...she goes, as I can get another used one for not much more than that. I love my truck, but I would be lying if I didn't tell you that she has broken down in some bad...

    How important are the various underbody protection offerings for the LR4?

    Get the Gap IID tool and give yourself the additional 2inch lift. If the pics are showing the typical rock size, you will pass over them without trouble. Every Day is a Good Day Surfing...Some are just Better Than Others Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Dual Band Radio Opinions

    I've used an Anytone AT5888UV for three years now and it has been great, other than a mic I had to replace after 15 months. I probably dropped the mic too many times! Most important though is your antenna. I noticed a huge improvement when I installed a Diamond NR770 with a Diamond mount...

    LR3 Blew a Tire. Can I Get 2?

    Be sure to buy their tire warranty. They have replaced no less than 8 Cooper Zeon tires on my LR3 over the years and all it costs is the price of a new warranty on the replacement tire. That is why I buy all my tires there. Every Day is a Good Day Surfing...Some are just Better Than Others...

    Radio Help

    If you want to go GMRS, check out the Wouxun radio sold be Powerwerx. It's essentially their same radio, but it's built to comply with Part 95a of the FCC regs. It will allow an external antenna, but you need a GMRS license. Just get your ham license and then you can use the Baofeng radios...

    LR3: Reverse Only?

    I had mine rebuilt at AAMCO for about $5k including relays etc. And I had to have it done at 124k miles. Every Day is a Good Day Surfing...Some are just Better Than Others Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Black Bear and Lockers

    Believe it or not...I still have nightmares about that trail...the sheer beauty mixed with the sheer drop off is quite a mix...but I don't regret any of the trips and I believe any off-roader should have that on their list of accomplishments. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Black Bear and Lockers

    Awesome trail, but after two trips, I'm done... Glad you are getting some advice, but get some training as others have suggested before you go. And let a passenger do the looking at scenery and let you focus on a safe ride. Every Day is a Good Day Surfing...Some are just Better Than Others...

    RTT Vs Ground tents

    It doesn't...check out www.trekking.fr for the Oasis tent. Sleeps two, and ultra lightweight. You have to have it shipped to the US, though. I have an early version and can put on and take off myself. Every Day is a Good Day Surfing...Some are just Better Than Others Sent from my iPad...

    I broke my LR3

    I've replaced my roof glass twice. First time was from my knee putting too much pressure, but second time I was offroad, watching some jeeps try to climb the first waterfall on Gold Mtn when one kicked some small rocks in the air and one came down on top. Lesson learned...stay away from Jeeps...

    Edgestar Fridge Modifications Thread

    I'm going to bet you have a battery that drops voltage . I bought a new Diehard last year and had nothing but problems with my fridge after that. Sure, truck would start, but fridge would not run for more than 30 minutes after the engine was shut off. Just picked up a new battery from Walmart...
