Well, this is the GMRS thread so it goes like this for GMRS service radios: Cheap blister pack HT's from box store: Low power FRS radios. Share freq with GMRS More expensive GMRS HT's: Higher power, require the GMRS license, some work repeaters (for larger area coverage when available) Mobile...

Considering both GMRS and Ham have license requirements, it'd be a hard sell to big groups like that...

There's a bourbon machine on the Xterra forum....

Is this about the "registry" thread for the different vehicles? That's kind of a "show and tell" for vehicles. Folks can see things and share tips and tricks but I don't think any of them are malicious or cause folks to group together and exclude others. It's neat to see what's done to...

Welcome from Covington, Va!

I don't think Mike has anything planned that's too challenging. This is mainly just to go see the sights this weekend. We're looking at some more challenging stuff later in the year but there'll be warnings posted about minimum needs then.

Who all is planning on going Sunday? Would like a rough count so we don't roll out before everyone shows up.

Hello Thomas! Being that you're a ham in the area AND drive an Xterra, I'm surprised we haven't crossed paths before.

I may be in for this as well. It depends on the weather. That place gets slick and the last time I was up there in the winter, it was a solid sheet of ice. I hate driving on ice so I left. I've considered a two day trip up there for a meetup this spring when the weather breaks a little. See...

The dates are posted in the Calendar that's linked at the top of the page. There also should be a list of dates on the first page of the thread but there's been some issues with the rally point date selection so I've got to double check them today. We'd love to have you and since it's such a...

Thanks for elaborating on that Randall! Good information!

Sounds good! Looking forward to it.

I bought the TM-D710Ga last year and installed it in my Xterra. It's been a great radio. Not only is APRS a neat thing to play with, but when I'm not running it I can actively monitor two frequencies at the same time. The added TNC access in the 710 was a draw for me plus I'm a big fan of...

APRS was originally developed for use in situations where passing messages was important before texting was a thing. You can also send e-mails and text messages through it if there is an i-gate within digi-peated range of you. Most modern radios will display the distance to the received...

It'll be on the 12th, 2nd Sunday as always. I'm in! Where do you want to meet up?

Good net last night folks! Here are my notes on it: First we need to keep our friend Robert VK2DY and his family in New South Wales in our thoughts as they are experiencing bad bush fires in the area and may fall under an evacuation order soon. Next, last night's net marks the beginning of our...

Well folks, that was an awesome net! There's so much information in it that I'll have to get my notes cleaned up tomorrow and get them posted.

Yeah that's my bad. It usually is but this is a topic I've had on the list since last year and have not covered. Since this was brought up again by another member and I've been sitting on my hands about it, I'm going to cover it tonight. It's all of 2 sentences in the ARRL ARES Field Resource...

I didn't read into it, just glanced at the first picture. Good to know.
