    Tahoe/Rubicon Trail?

    Don't worry, the Rubicon still has plenty of nasty surprises to dent all parts of your rig!

    Handheld Ham Radio Adivce

    I like the FT-70D and especially like being able to experiment with digital communications. It’s a nice solid compact radio. On the less favorable side, the controls are limited to a single multi-function knob and mode buttons - which I guess is to be expected given the price point. I use it...

    Handheld Ham Radio Adivce

    I know they're not as cheap as a Boafeng, but I picked up a Yaesu FT-70D from Gigaparts for $139. And you get the benefit of being able to experiment with digital comms too. Dan

    Tahoe/Rubicon Trail?

    Bypass, or not, the Rubicon is a serious trail with serious obstacles. We did it in a Jeep JKU HR with the Jeepers Jamboree group and have the dented skid plates, door nick and rubbed fenders to prove it. The first section out of Georgetown is relatively easy, but it gets serious quickly. Coming...

    The real FTM-400XDR question

    I attached my remote speaker to the center cross bar. It doesn't block the rear view mirror and is easily heard, especially in a soft top.

    The real FTM-400XDR question

    Mounted my D710G under the passenger seat with a MIC extension and external speaker. IMO, it’s the only real option. FWIW, I mounted it under the passenger seat since I intend to mount a storage box under the drier seat, eventually. Dan

    Which Mobile HAM for APRS

    @brien Got your APRS message!!! I tried to reply, but not sure it got through/sent - the message interface isn’t the most straight forward UI, and creating/entering a message using the dial is tedious at best. I need to look into your comment that an external keyboard can be connected to the...

    Which Mobile HAM for APRS

    @brien Yes, it's on. I'll be leaving shortly so I'll check it. Thanks! Do you have a WINS system link near you? I have one locally and it's very active and I hear stations coming out of Arizona on a regular basis. Dan

    Which Mobile HAM for APRS

    Sounds like a nice plan, but way more ambitious than I'm able to pull off - living in a condo and working in building garage seriously limits my creativity to bolt-on and plug-n-play :^) As a side note, it was incredibly convenient to be able to plug a soldering iron into the 110v outlet that...
