  • 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.

    Overland expo west

    Well I saw the Overland Bound Rig but did not manage to hook up with any one. I did pick up a Skottle from Jerry and had a nice visit with his family. I had to meet some friends over on the east side of the Mogollon Rim so I took the more dustier and direct route and got in some good dirt...

    Our Overland Expo Route - Join Us on the Road!

    Hi guys, Looks like I can sneak up there on Saturday. I am hoping that I can hook up to at least say hello. Is there a good way to find you all once I get up there. Can't stay the night so just doing the day pass for a couple of hours.

    Ham Radio Operators... Mobile, HT, or Both?

    I always have both so if when I get out of the truck I can still call out and talk back to the group. This can be a life saver in a recovery or scouting situation. And let's face it most of us start out with an HT first. Plus.... it is all about the toys right!

    Ham Radio - HF/VHF/UHF

    I have a Yaesu 857 that can work "all bands/all modes" so I can do HF/VHF/UHF as well as 11m (CB) and GMRS. I mostly run VHF for Tail Communications and then break out to HF when I am mountain topping.

    CB or HAM?

    There are but you have to be careful. I have a Yaesu 857 that is an all band all mode. It dose UHF/VHF and HF. The leagel limits of what you can output on CB are really low compared to Ham Radio. It can work 11m or CB frequencies but it will only dial down to 5 watts of output. On CB...

    CB or HAM?

    You can do a lot of impressive stuff with HAM Radio but it is no fun if you don't have anyone to talk to.

    CB or HAM?

    Think about going for a general license and it will open up a whole new aspects. After I got my general license I picked up a Yaesu 857 which is all band / all modes. I have one radio that I can use for VHF/UHF/HF/CB (11 METER)/GMRS. I can also use it to tune in all kinds of other stuff like...

    gps mapping help

    I love paper maps. I use to make my own with "Topo" and a large format printer I have. But more and more I find myself just using Backcountry Navigator on my Android tablet. As long as you think ahead and download the areas you will be in before you get out or Cell or WiFi range. It takes about...
