Hey Brian, Sorry you couldn't get the reception. Where abouts in the Santa Cruz mountains? You might try hitting the 440 K7DAA repeater over in Morgan Hill. I connect that up via IRLP, so that may or may not work for you.

Congrats!!! If you tune to the frequency you can definitely listen. You may be surprised how quickly the FCC gets you in their database.. could be just a couple days. Check their search for your callsign. Once you show up there you're good. Once you go to get on you'll need to set the shift and...

Hey, nope, you probably didn't screw up. We had IRLP issues getting W6SRR into the reflector. K7DAA was linked in but our main repeater wasn't. :( Gonna work with the trustee to see if we can't get the DTMF decoder to be less finicky... hope you'll try again next week!

Friendly reminder, the next net is tonight at 7:30pm PST! Hope to hear from you some of you guys!

Unfortunately I don't think there's an IRLP / Echolink crossover. I've heard of some repeaters that have both and allow them to connect simultaneously, but that's not supposed to happen.That said....... check W6YDD, it looks like they have Echo IRLP set up. http://www.w6ydd.org/irlp/

For those who aren't yet subscribed to the other thread, here's a little update: We've moved the thread to the Communications forum so those from outside of the CA/NV region can be made aware of the net. The new thread is here...

Well, it was a little quiet on the net tonight, but that's okay. Had 10 check-ins, though most were random folks who stumbled on the net while scanning. Thanks to those who did pop in and say hi on purpose. Hope to hear from you again! I'll be doing some troubleshooting with the IRLP reflector...

How do you mean?

Originally posted to the CA - NV Regional forum but thought it better here since we're on IRLP and open to anyone anywhere. I asked a couple mods to move the thread but since I don't see that happening I'm creating a new one. Apologies for any confusion. NET IS ON HOLD - NO NETS WILL BE HAD...

Hey Charlie, New info! I got the go-ahead to use IRLP reflector 9351 for the net. So, if you'd like to use your club's repeater to call into the reflector, then we're good! :D I'll be dialing W6SRR in about 5 minutes before the net starts.

Absolutely! First thing is to find a testing location. There's a bi-weekly test, every other Saturday, at the Saratoga Fire Department proctored by the Silicon Valley Volunteer Examiner Group. This is the most often test that I'm aware of. Their next test is on Jan 7th. Simply show up with $15...

That's awesome! My count is only at 1 so far, but I may start taking credit for anyone that joins the net as a new ham. :wings:

LOL, mine too! Ah well... Yes, definitely! I'll be following a pretty standard net opening script that outlines protocol. It will be a directed net, not an open forum, so we'll be doing check-ins, all traffic will need to go through net control, etc... I'll go through this at the beginning of...

THREAD MOVED TO COMMUNICATIONS FORUM Please continue the conversation there!

I adore my '87 Suburban. Use it for 4x4-heavy overlanding and some towing. The 350TBI is pretty weak for the overall size, especially loaded up with gear, but it seems pretty solid reliability-wise. All the things that I've had to fix were cheap and easy. Basically sensors and such corroding or...

Not specifically an expo video, but I just got a DJI Mavic Pro to take on next year's trips. Took it out Christmas Tree hunting to mess around with and put this together. Need more practice flying and I picked up some ND filters to keep the shutter speed down - the reason for some of the...

Just wanted to add my own data point to what seems to be a very on again off again thread... I have one of the newer CVT Shasta Extended Summit RTT's and, like many, found the stock pad to be painfully hard. Long story short, there's a local foam place that does upholstery and such. I spent...

Just gotta do the math to figure out what you need to match current or near current final gear ratio. Calculator here: http://www.4lo.com/calc/geartire.php Looks like coming off 31" tires to 33" tires from a 3.73 gear ratio, 3.97 would be a perfect match (no such gears made though). So 4.10...
