You'll want to add a 1/2" braided copper strap from each mount of the bar to the frame or body with the paint removed under each end to electrically "tie" that brush guard to the body. Remember, just because you have DC continuity doesn't mean you have a good RF continuity. That will improve the...

Hey folks, I'm about ready to pull the trigger on the FTM-400XDR since the price is so good right now. However, I've been pretty vocal about not liking menu driven squelch vs a dedicated knob and it looks like this radio has a menu button for squelch. I was wondering what using that was like...

Merry Christmas everyone!

Merry Christmas everyone! Stay safe and warm.

I would suggest going ahead and buying a decent mobile. 5W vs 8W is a negligible gain when you can get a 25-50W mobile radio for not much more. I have several 2m only and 2m/440 radios I've bought used from Hamfests or other locals for $35-150. A TYT TH-9800, Kenwood TM-G707A, Icom IC-2100H...

Almost net time folks!

No kidding! It's my turn tonight! Everyone be sure to join in at 8:30pm EST 5:30 PST. Looking forward to another good turnout. Also, anyone interested in trying a turn as net control one night, message me and we'll get you set up.

Couldn't go forward or go backward.

I've been looking at that one. The APRS feature is neat too. There's just so many options with so many different features it's pretty hard to choose something.

Most of the time, you don't have to worry about that. Just explain that you are new and learning and that you're curious. If you catch some grief, don't take it personally. The whole culture of amateur radio has changed since the old timers got their first license and some of them can't get by...

We used to have a small square grill that the legs collapsed on that we took out a couple times but when the body rotted out we didn't replace it. We've talked about getting one of the small Weber kettles (Smoky Joe?) to carry with us but mainly for use on the beach. In camp we use a Coleman...

Welcome!

Rally Point is live!

**THIS IS THE OLD THREAD** We still have meet-ups and hope you'll join us. This thread had some issues post-migration we just couldn't get squared away so we started a new Rally Point and thread here: https://www.overlandbound.com/forums/threads/western-virginia-monthly-meetup.31963/ PLEASE...

Check with your local Jeep dealer on a Mopar 2" lift. It's well put together and from my research a few years ago, was designed by Chrysler and Teraflex and built by Teraflex. I priced it out when I was looking at ordering a Rubicon and it's price was right in line with other kits and if you...

Will W8ILL hangs out on GNG pretty much all the time. He's a nice guy, I believe he said he's near 80. He can come across a little "get off my lawn" at times but Brent, Ed, Shane and myself I believe have all chatted with him some and he's coming around. There are some great deals on those...

Great net Shane! Really enjoyed it. Brent, sorry about the net notes, checking in from my phone in a hotel room with my wife and kids. I wasn't sure how it would work out but it was ok.

T minus 3hr 20min! :smiley:

The extra width has kept me from Titan swapping so far. I'm considering going with 295/75/16s and trimming.
