Close to where I grew up... I'm busy this weekend but might join if you do it again.

I like cloth ear seal covers for the heat. They don't stop the heat but help some of the stickiness. If you want to try some, let me know and I'll send you a pair.

Well, I wouldn't say it's an unpopular opinion, but maybe a little misinformed. Coming from someone that has a lot of experience wearing a helmet, or headset, or ear plugs, etc., in all sorts of vehicles... I get what you're saying. But I think what people don't realize is that a headset does...

FCC rulings are a lot like the bible... at the end of the day, name of the game is, be nice.

I'll play... one playing on the beach, another as the worlds most expensive charcuterie board when a head gasket blew in Baja :)

Any of our (Rugged Radios) intercoms can be interfaced with just about any radio, including Midland. Talking inside the vehicle is automated and transmitting over the radio is done by pressing a Push To Talk button. Communications in high-noise environments is our specialty and I can tell you...

This is not a bad way to go. It's certainly more versatile. I have a lot of customers that use a handheld in vehicles , connected to a roof-mounted half wave antenna with great results.

Likewise, brother!

I used a gen 1 all over the western USA and Baja California… always served me well. The only reason I upgraded to the 2 is for the push notifications through the app. That and, I figured it would be easier to sell the originals now versus a few year down the road. BTW, if anyone wants a gen...

I haven’t read the rest of the thread, bit here’s my input: I’m licensed Ham and think it’s one of the best forms of radio communication.. if you’re willing to put work into it! Yes. That’s the same for any hobby. Ham is no different. But, what I use most often is GMRS. Simply because...
