  • 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.

    Roof Boxes anyone?

    You make a good point, however we use the 4Runner for our daily driver. @KRose works swing shift, so when she gets off at 11:00 pm we hit the road. We need a place to keep the Gazelle T4 Plus on the rig secured and out of the elements. Right now she is upset with me because our sleeping bag...

    Comparison: OB1 Track Recording vs. Other

    I have run OB for 18 hours straight running on my iPhone 13 Pro Max and my iPad 7 plugged into my 1989 bronco cigarette lighter socket staying at 100% and while listening to music I have downloaded and the passenger watching movies on the iPad.

    US East CQ FIELD DAY! Where ham radio meets overlanding

    I run 100 watts on a 2 AGM Deep Cycle batteries for field day every year… I bring my Genny, but don’t run it. Three years ago I had a random wire 60’ end fed antenna set up as a sloped only 30’ in the air at one end and 3’ off the ground at the feed point. This antenna worked ok, but I had...

    OB1 app "Bug" reports ONLY

    You have two separate issues… one @Michael is fixing with the pin selection, the other issue for offline maps has to do with your subscription service. You have the “Adventure Tier” which allows you to view while online, but does not have off line maps and off line navigation. In order to have...

    Gmrs Distress call protocol.

    @Ryker and @kunstmilch , here is one reason black and white why GMRS is not the correct tool for making a distress call. GMRS can’t be auto patched to 911 dispatch, and since it can’t be linked into a network by FCC laws and protocols, it’s just not done. However, if all you have is a FRS/GMRS...

    Gmrs Distress call protocol.

    Yes I would be calm… but then again I was RTO in very stressful life and death situations where it wasn’t one life on the line but many many lives on the line. In the situation you describe, it’s the RO’s duty to stay calm and help calm down the individual in distress. @Prerunner1982 and...

    Gmrs Distress call protocol.

    This I agree with… and that is why I’m a member of SAR, ARES, and SkyWarn, and train three times a week for assisting with emergency radio communication. It’s also part of the Technician test pool.

    Gmrs Distress call protocol.

    Back to Protocol: It’s simple…. “Break Break Break” that’s it… Break means stop, listen, critical information incoming. if no response or you’re being ignored, repeat “BREAK BREAK BREAK “ with more imfacis one the breaks, fallow second set of breaks with “Emergency, Emergency, Emergency”. Once...

    Gmrs Distress call protocol.

    Let’s go with your thought on setting a side a single channel on GMRS for emergency operations… who is going to monitor it, how are we going to tie it into the emergency services, who is going to set up, maintain, and be in control of the needed repeaters, also there is a limit on how many...

    Gmrs Distress call protocol.

    Unfortunately there cannot be a “call” Chanel for GMRS… the band is too narrow which is why the GMRS band was created in the first place. It is not nor was it ever meant to be used as an emergency radio service. CB Chanel 9 was used for interagency communication before the CB band was ever...

    Gmrs Distress call protocol.

    For GMRS, there isn’t enough bandwidth to set aside one Chanel for emergency traffic… besides GMRS wasn’t and isn’t intended for emergency communication. For amateur radio there are dedicated frequencies for emergency traffic, they just depend on your region… ie Region 7, the 80m frequency of...

    The Zello Option

    I’m not buying the system, you are… well if you live in Oregon, Washington, or Idaho you are… the states government is fronting the bill, I’m just takes with helping set up the system for several counties in eastern Oregon. And California has already implemented the system throughout most of...

    Spokane or CDA

    There has been talk of a campout or trail run in the near future (probably after PNW Overland Expo). @Kent R or @Jim SoG can we get this moved to US Northwest- Regional News, Events forum to gain more traction

    Gmrs Distress call protocol.

    On a Colorado trail, the best form of radio come in an emergency would be an HF radio on the 40m or 20m band. Spin the dial to where you hear traffic and then transmit: “Break break break - - - Mayday Mayday Mayday - - - Brake brake brake”where the dash equals a one second pause. Repeat the...

    Roof Boxes anyone?

    yes you are right, I messed up my math… but… if you finish reading my post, you will see I’m going to DIY my box… which is why I was asking for a box under $200.00 because materials come to $190.00 to build the box… maybe under that even since I already have the hinges and latching mechanism...
