I have a 2017 Tepui Autana 3-Person Roof Top Tent and annex with the latest mattress upgrade. Tent has been slept in maybe a few dozen nights total but never on Playa or in heavy weather. I really love how heavy the canvas is on this tent. I've been in below freezing temperatures and...
I've got 3 lightly used Optima Deep Cycle Blue Top batteries that I just removed from my boat. Model # D27M. No corrosion. I replaced them because I had 1 bad one in the bank of 4. I've already scrapped the bad one. Being a boat, I figured that I'd rather change out all the batteries than get...
That is a great idea. I'll try that tonight. I've been messing around with antenna locations and found that there is more noise if the antenna is on a mag mount vs if the antenna is on a permanent mount on the bed of the truck.
Yaesu FTM400 grounded to chassis, receiving switched power through a SwitchPro 5100. I'll try direct to the battery this weekend and check if there is a difference. I'll also check to see if the switched auxillary LED lights attached to the SwitchPro have any effect when they are powered on or off.
Thanks for the suggestion! I was thinking that I might have to choke all of the different LED lights, but I'll try choking only the antenna and see how that works.

I run a Samsung S4 with Backcountry Navigator PRO and its absolutely fantastic. I have all of California and Nevada saved to the highest detail and still have plenty of storage. Mount the entire thing on a ram mount and I've never had a problem. Grabs GPS quickly an has a really great battery life.
I bit the bullet and bought one so I could chat with some of my off road racing friends when we were in the deep desert. Range was good, but I'm way happier that I'm now using a HAM.
I'm so damn jealous...
If anyone is in a pinch and looking for amber lights, I have a rear chase bar made by KC, never installed for $380, no installation brackets. I also have a couple of new amber cyclones for $30 each. I can order up replacements later.
I'm in Stockton, but if you need it...
