I'm not familiar with PMR but I will just say that proper trail etiquette is the smaller group pulls over to let the larger pass when you meet head on. Wish I could ride out and meet you, I'd love to check it out myself.

I'm free most Friday, Saturday and Sundays. Maybe grab a late lunch somewhere around town? @witchdoctor_33

I'd be in depending on days and times. KT4OZ

Short notice but I'm free most of the day Friday and Saturday till about 2. That's short notice I know but if anyone is free, I'd be up for grabbing a beer and shooting the poop. Anyways, we can try to plan something for January, after everyone is done with holiday travels.

Part of that is the fact that your CB antennas are resonant at 27MHz where WX channels are in the 162MHz area. The CB antenna just won't receive them nearly as well and the FM circuit for demodulating them was an accessory and probably not a major design element. They work good enough for what...

You need coax with the PL259 on both ends instead of the ring type. Otherwise you're ok. My 18 wouldn't work in SoundTracker mode unless SWR was nearly perfect. That may have been fixed in the last 10 years, but just a friendly heads up. It was so sensitive that I never could use it until I...

@Virginia Overlander 's thread got me wondering if there was any interest in trying a meetup around Roanoke again.

Welcome from near Roanoke.

The Nova/MD meetup was the only one that gained any real traction and is still quite active. I'm afraid that I didn't have the time to continue spending setting up meet-ups that folks wouldn't come to locally. The Western Va thread is still out there but has been dead for a while now. I...

Here's a little more detailed breakdown.

Need to have folks look into the band plans for 2m/440 Amature Radio so they know the simplex frequency ranges we generally agree upon. There are lots of things going on in 2m, not just 2m FM Simplex, so you need to be aware of where you are operating so you are not interfering with other...

Welcome from Covington! Nice Burb!

Oh yeah, a couple of my odd ball lanterns I've come in to. Left: AGM Scottsman KampLite and Right: JC Higgins made by Thermos.

I'm on there as well. I'm just not very active. I'm trying very hard to keep from becoming a full blown collector. I have more junk laying around here than I can work on right now. I have a 228 hanging in the rafters in the shop that I haven't even touched since I hung it there two months ago.

Ahhh, that's a Canuckistani only model I think. I've got a buddy to electrified a really rough 228J I gave him. He uses it on his radio desk.

That's not a 237 is it?!?

What have my White Gas folken been into? Any new toys?

Get a tent, sleeping pad and sleeping bag of craigslist, a cheap cooler (coleman marine) and go camping. If you want to get into overlanding, you need to do it! Find some place you'd like to go camp and go camp. A cast iron skillet can be used over coals to cook and bring plenty of drinking...

They keep touting the Terra over-seas, but I can't find definitive info on them anywhere. Just lots of hear-say and rumors.
