  • Guest, we will be conducting site maintenance August 4th and some downtime is expected. At this time Rally Point and the Member Map will also become an app-only feature for long-term security and stability. A few days after this maintenance, a major upgrade revision to the forum site will occur.

    Transmission Repair in Portland Area?

    My transmission shop is on the other side of the state from you… I don’t know what Ammco Shop my friend works at… I just know it’s in Portland some where. If you want one of the best transportation shops in the Northwest take the transmission to Hudson’s Transmission in La Grande Oregon. He...

    Newbie comms questions (HAM/GMRS/APRS)

    I very much dispose the ARRL books… but for technician I don’t think the 2022-2024 books are available from KB6NU yet. I’m glad to hear that you aren’t picking up any interference within your system yet… time will tell when you can key up your mic.

    US Rocky Mountain Family-friendly activities in Colorado (between Denver and Durango)

    Denver: Six Flags, Water park, and the Denver Zoo are my top three places to go. Tubing down the Arkansas river through Canyon City is fun… but usually the water is low this time of year… I would put in at Centennial Park on the west side of town (just off of HWY 50) and float down to HWY 115...

    Newbie comms questions (HAM/GMRS/APRS)

    @walkabout_ca if you get a whining sound in your tranciever’s audio, you might look into either rerouting your coax away from the auxiliary battery power cables, or add ferrite beads to the coax, or both. If no hum or high pitched noise is present (both RX and TX) disregard this comment.

    Spokane /CDA meetup

    @Mountaintrails71 as advised in your other thread, make a Rally Point. It will get more exposure there than scattered all over the forums.

    Spokane / CDA meeting

    As @Kent R said, put it up on a rally point. There was talk Sunday on the Inland Northwest Conference call about getting a couple mid season camps and trail runs in. @Sandpoint Steve is your closest member representative, he has a lot of good information on helping you put together some kind of...

    I wouldn’t downgrade to a 1500 from a 2500… it’s very easy to overbuild an overland rig and max out your hauling capacity. We generally recommend using what you have.

    The NOA frequencies to program into your 2m radios can be found HERE. Just select the state, and then add the frequencies for your area.

    APRS has full weather coverage… and then there is the weather bands that you can program into your radio to get voice alerts as well…

    How many texts can you send before your InReach starts charging you extra money?

    Newbie comms questions (HAM/GMRS/APRS)

    always go NMO if you can, it makes swapping antennas easier or easier to store when not in use. HRO is a great resource for online radio shopping, don’t forget DX Engineering and Gigaparts… shop all three for their sales…
