What are the cameras showing?

I have lots of Filson stuff, boots, jackets, pants, shirts, belts, socks, gloves, bags of all descriptions. I went into their store the last time I was in Seattle and too left empty-handed. They have been bought and sold so many times that they are barely their former self. They are owned by...

Michellin has an online map of Puerto Escondido: https://www.viamichelin.com/web/Maps/Map-Puerto_Escondido-_-Oaxaca-Mexico I didn't check for Huatulco.

The secretaría de infraestructura comunicaciones y transportes website used to have links for digital downloads and buying paper maps of the different states. The link I had no longer works and I can't find the maps listed. Perhaps someone with better Spanish skills could find it. Right...

I have one of these: I also have a couple LED lights, with a fold out stand that take batteries. I think I got those from Costco.

For my bike, I had the Montana GPS. It comes with a snap-in holder/charger that's weatherproof. If you stick a foam earplug in the battery case, it's vibration-proof as well. You can set it up to warn you when you're driving over the speed limit, or show you the nearest gas station. I hooked...

I have a couple REI Sahara short sleeve shirts. They also make long sleeve ones. https://www.rei.com/product/193091/rei-co-op-sahara-solid-long-sleeve-shirt-mens They are nice looking and easy to take care of.

Thanks for that information. I tried using the APRSDroid that was already on my unit but it wasn't finding the map. That could have been because the map wasn't where it was supposed to be. Since I moved the map, I should try again.

I watched a few videos yesterday about hooking the Kenwood TM-D710GA up to a phone to plot the APRS beacons from the radio. So I decided to try and do it with my Atoto A6 headunit. I didn't want to pull the unit out of the dash until I got it figured out so I plugged my FTDI USB CAT...

I have the 275 with the 6db antenna. It really picks up signals.

I live in southern AZ and with my MXT275 I can reach repeaters that cover AZ, NM and sometimes UT. There is lots of activity around here for those who want to shoot the sht, or "talk". Sorry to force you to learn radio lingo. I have the 6dB antenna on the back of my rig and get lots of...

No, the phone doesn't need to be active. APRS.fi uses Google Maps so if you want to see where you are, or where people are then you need wifi. Since it's a webpage, I don't know if you can download maps for it to use. But APRSDroid doesn't need a connection, as far as I know. The phone just...

For my mobile APRS setup, I use a Baofeng VX-5R connected by a 2 pin Kenwood connection to 1/4" cable to my Samsung phone. After I got it set up, I haven't had any problems sending or receiving APRS data.

I have an old Airguide 1601 compass. It mounts to the dash and if you push a button on the front it sort of lights up. It seems to be pretty accurate.

I am an Apple user but for APRS on my handheld, I use an old Samsung phone. that I picked up cheap. The phone acts as the TNC and APRSDroid sends and receives the information.

I have a 16qt (?) Alpicool that I bought a few years ago to use as a freezer for camping. So far it works great. It's also good for bringing on shroter trips to use as a fridge. I went on a 3 day trip and used it to carry sandwich makings as well as a bottle of wine or two. It's great for...

When I was in Namibia, I went to an outdoor supply store. They had National Luna freezer/fridges for about a third of the price they are in America. I couldn't find anyone with a scale though so I didn't know if the box would weigh over 50 lbs. I have a Dometic fridge, about 50 liters, I...

I have a pair of those. They have really gone up in price since I bought mine. I used to wear them regularly for my desert hikes. I need to pull them out and see how being in the closet for years has treated them.

Most watch companies photograph their watches at either 10:10, 1:50, or 4:40, 7:20. It's so you can see all the writing on the dial in the photograph. From Omega's website...

I bought a pair of Russel Minimalist Short Thula Thulas from their sales sheet. Like another poster said, their sizes are not at like other shoe companies. I called them to verify that that the shoes I ordered would possibly fit. I wear a 9.5 EEEE and the shoes I bought were something like 8...
