If it is just a yard trailer then yes; you don't need to balance them. But going down the highway - of course get them balanced. It just makes sense.

Scheduled my exam date for my technician license: 20 January @ 1430 in Saint Helens, OR (less than an hour's drive from where I live). - I'm using a study book and going over the test pool questions, so I'll show up and sit for the exam at 1430. I'm feeling good about it. What I found...

Thanks. We emailed back and forth a couple times. He was very easy to deal with, and we were just tweaking a design he already had in place. I actually did a more thorough write-up on the JeepForum http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f9/new-dirtworx-rear-bumper-4168282/ if you're really...

I've been wanting a swing-away spare tire carrier for my Jeep so I can later convert the tailgate to a drop-down tailgate. I also wanted the ability to carry extra fuel for expedition travels outside the Jeep. So I had a place called Dirtworx build me a rear bumper to my specs. It also...

So what else does and doesn't work between the two radios? AND I AM NOT BADMOUTHING MY LITTLE RUGGED RADIO HERE! It works as advertised - the issue is I was wanting it to do something it wasn't intended to do. As they say "It is what it is". If you remember, I purchased the RR radio with...

I think I'm pretty good at pulling the file from the radio with Chirp, making changes, and uploading them back into the radio (from playing with the RR radio). And I added a channel to the BaoFeng radio via Chirp just to make sure it would take. It did. So the cable I was using for the RR...

So my little hand-held BaoFeng 5watt arrived today (Amazon prime - they get stuff to you fast). It is charging, and then later today or this weekend I'll try and get some channels programmed into it using Chirp. But not any of those race frequencies that RR programed into their little...

Airborne! And I've got a 1946 Willys Jeep CJ2A at home, so I definitely think I can remember that frequency! What does "WRT" mean?

I definitely want a little fixed mount dual-band radio eventually for my Jeep; 25watts, or for a little bit more - 50watts (don't know if 50watts would be overkill though). I really want a little hand-held for when out of the Jeep, and this hand-held thing is allowing me to get familiar with...

I'm confused. Have you read my posts on this thread? - Right now my RR radio is blocked for ham bands, and it looks like I can't Chirp it to get to the 2M ham frequencies (140's). I've ordered a BaoFeng handheld that has the 2M ham frequencies. I've also ordered a study book for my ham...

Since my little RH5R-V2 is supposed to be a clone of a BaoFeng UV-5R, I tried to see if Chirp would recognize it as a UV-5R when pulling the RR's programming. Nope. - So for the record, I have a BaoFeng UV-5R on order. I looked at the UV-82HP in the past, but if I'm going to spend a bit of...

- Ok. I got Chirp downloaded and I installed the older version driver to make it all work; I got it to pull the memory from the radio (kinda proud of myself for getting this far), and I sat down to start making some changes on the spreadsheet (see picture). However, there is no "Settings"...

How do the Max Trax compare to something like these 3rd generation X-BULL New Recovery Traction Tracks Sand Mud Snow Track Tire Ladder 4WD (3Gen, Orange)? -...

Looks like an informative site. Thanks!

This is what kinda started all this: I was hoping to go on a run with a group from the North West Overland Forum http://northwestoverland.com/ (I wasn't able to go, but it got me thinking). Their little blurb said (bold font added by me): - Let's meet at the Shell Station on Easy Street, on...

So I can forget about the little disc, and just download Chirp, plug in the cable and radio and start making changes? That would be cool. But what is the disc for then - why include it? - According to the paperwork that came with my RR RH-5R, it says "Unlike most radios, with the RH-5R you can...

I don't know what the driver is for the cable (and I'm still trying to figure out what this "driver" terminology means - but I can rebuild a carburetor for what it's worth). Here's what it said on Amazon where I ordered it if you can tell from this: - 2 Pin USB Programming Cable for Kenwood /...

Ya'll know I'm starting from scratch here, and yes; I know I could have bought a 5watt BaoFeng radio and wouldn't have to be going through this with my little hand-held. So save your comments - I'm enjoying the challenge here. This might help someone later down-the-line. I got the cable for my...

Bummer. Ok; thanks for the answer. I have a hard enough time trying to remember all my user names and passwords. Still waiting for the USB cable thingy to arrive so I can try and Chirp my little RR 5watt hand-held radio to get down to the 140's ham frequencies. And then of course start...

When I got my GMRS license, I got a call sign (WRAK###). If/when I get my ham technician's license, will I get a different call sign?
