the vox is a circuit I found on the internet. Its just two op amps in one IC. The first stage amps the input and adds a DC bias ( aka rectify). The 100k here is debatable but makes a square wave thats good for the next stage. The second stage is a low performance comparator. Since the...

good stuff. The premade one sounds nice, but I think I can do this cheaper and more ideal for my set up. This is a update to where I am at. I think the circuit is good enough to build now and I will have time to try in next month. You can see the parts add up pretty fast, but premade things are...

I agree its going to be very easy to overdrive things. I have read alot of other peoples experiences and I have read Ham radios plugged in directly to AUX inputs by keeping the volume low on the Ham. I have also read about 2.7k resisters on the outputs of ipods. I bought 10k pots and 1k...

Voted CB long story short I think most 4x4 situations, among those two choices, would be best suited by a FRS/GMRS radio rather then CB, but CB is the 4x4 standard right now and has a few benefits when properly used and maintained. I hope Ham becomes the standard soon because truly that's a...

Dave's got it again. My stock head unit used to have a stock CD changer under it. I'm researching if I can use this now dormant input to the head unit and add a Aux in line. I havnt seen where it has been done yet on this particular radio but I would imagine its possible. If not then a new head...

Ive seen where thats possible and pretty awesome. Im still trying to figure out home much extra money that would be. For a cheap solution i think i can use potentiometers to insure the cb and ham are louder then anything else. The only reason that would work for me is is dont ever play my...

just a update but I have researched alot on the passive mixers thanks to daveindenver. I really have two problems with my truck. Two speakers taking up room and when the AC is on or the windows are down I cant really hear what people are saying even with the volume all the way up (yes the...

Yes id like to hear my CB and Ham radio at the same time on the same speaker. I run two speakers now and there would be no confusion with one since the two speakers i have sit side by side. If it sounds good its ham and if it sounds like crap its CB lol. Thank you daveindenver! That...

I just did a fair amount of googling and there does not appear to be any rear solutions for this. There are some great $220 mixers/amps and talk of using small transformers for isolation, but neither are a good solution. Are any of you using anything? Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T...

Thanks! This is UEC-129 and you can read more about it here: http://www.undergroundexplorers.com/uec-129-1.htm Unfortunately mine names or locations are no longer public due to BLM monitoring and to prevent theft. I forgot to add to the original post that if anyone does know the location then...

Great pictures! I have a few underground ones that I'm pretty happy with. I'm brand new to light painting, but hang out with some guys who are experts so my first try wasn't too horrendous.

I switched to Celox trauma gauze. Its a Chitosan bandage (blood stopper) and I was sold by how it can be used as a burn dressing and does not create any loose particles in the blood stream. I carry lots of comfort stuff like Advil and band-aids, but the good stuff is all related to stopping...

Not to ruin your post but the "not a ham cram" caught my attention. Its going to be a hard sale to the mobile crowd. Most are much more interested in using the radio rather then the theory behind its operation. Across the board I think its a unavoidable change in new Ham operators from a...

hmmm so you guys have had them work well. Anything special to it? What grills are you using if that makes a difference? A couple posts above is a sweet grilling set up with the power to melt steel if you need to do some sand cast parts on the trail haha. Its out of my budget though and needs...

Budgetlightforums.com is a good place to keep up to date on flashlight/headlamp offerings. cheap 2200 lumen flashlights and 1000 lumen headlamps are pretty common now. Some of them are well made, but you gotta research them to pick the good from the just ok.

Chris are you talking about a dual burner propane stove? Something like this below. If not then you have my attention and I would love to hear about it. :) Silver, thanks for the first hand results. I was afraid That would be the issue. Looks like I'll be buying a single burner soon. I have...

I use a Weber 1520 go-anywhere propane grill. The grill cooks evenly but I'm not a fan for the price, cheap piezo, bad regulator and the not so rare flame outs with very little wind. Enough venting about the grill since the damage is done. I figured I'd put that out there for search sake anyhow...

I have these cans and they are wonderful, but you can get the same cans without "not for fuel" stamped into them. I think its Atlantic British or someone that has the same cans and they only have a sticker saying not for fuel.

When I'm set up somewhere and not on the move, I've gotten three uses out of one since they are big bags. That was pushing it to unpleasant even for just me. Thing is they are not very attractive after the first use so that may the stopping point for your wife. They start to smell after a day...

my 96 will not tell the scanguage my trans temp anyhow so the ultraguage was the easy choice. I think on the 4runner side it was 99 and newer that could report trans temp so there must be a crossover point for tacomas too.
