I thought that was a link you could go to Google and see. You should be able to download it from there. Let me get to a computer in a bit and I'll check it out.

SSB on CB frequencies is probably not of any use. Just your standard $40 Cobra should do everything you need. Remember that you have to be licensed to transmit on the Ham bands. If you are liscened, be sure to check in on the call sign thread!

Hey everyone. Due to scheduling issues, I'm not going to be able to get this going, I just don't have the time to devote to it right now. I'll update the title but I'm gonna have to postpone this. Sorry guys.

Well, so far the wife hasn't gotten any of the internships so it looks like we're moving forward with full trip plans. We glanced at the schedule last night for a minute and started talking about what days to do what. We've got a couple trips planned in the coming months to work on our gear some.

@Darkside Overland has a nice setup on his Hiker trailer. He has a build thread on here and is great about answering questions.

I have one of the Wal-Mart (link) ones with the angle edges that we've used for years now. I added a 1.5x1.5" angle aluminum bracket to the middle of each side to increase the strength of the expanded metal floors. I've carrier t-cases, coolers, totes, tires, ect on it and have taken it to the...

My 2007 Xterra currently has around 167k miles on it. Only about 23k of that has been under my care. I bought it with a rebuilt transmission which was needed because of an issue with the transmission cooler in the radiator. It also had the secondary timing chain tensioner issue which is common...

The rating means the switch is capable of carrying 20a. Your actual load is determined by what you use the switches to power.

Welcome from up in Covington! I've got an old friend who lives in Danville.

@KD7WCD and I tried to make contact on 40m last night. Man, about 9pm 40 dropped dead on the east coast. One minute it sounded ok and the spotting websites were showing plenty of contacts within NA. The next, noise went to S9+10 and there was nothing to hear! Oh well, we'll try again at a...

Right now I'm using a 20mm Ammo can I bought online as the tool box. I then have the tools in tool pouches with like items together. Pliers and screw drivers in one, wrenches and socket sets in another. Then a Rubbermaid kitchen container with misc in it (screws, tape, fuses, ect). I have a 32oz...

Those appear to be Mastercraft AXTs rebranded for CT. Mastercraft is made by Cooper as well. My Dad has a pair of the AXTs on the back of his farm Jeep and really likes them. I think the Mastercraft tires have slightly more tread void than the Cooper AT3 but I've never made an attempt to...

Ryan is correct. It has to be FCC approved to operate in the CB band and a 10m radio is not. Here is the FCC's facts page on the subject. https://www.fcc.gov/consumers/guides/personal-radio-services-prs-keeping-touch

I understand what you're saying and I agree that they don't monitor it like they should. I started in comms playing with CBs in the local off-road club in college and I've been blasted with power as much as any guy. I don't feel that giving advice to people, especially online, to go do things...

Looks like a great ride! The snow will be gone here before I have a chance to go pout and play in it.

No problem. Communication is pretty important to me. In amateur radio, we support emergency responders as a backup means of communicating should their usual systems fail. This is known as the ARES services. Most of us have a "go kit" with various items in it to get us on the air quickly. I'm...

I just had my tire guys order a set of 285/75/16s for the Xterra. They should be in next week. If the size works ok, I'll be ordering another set this summer for my K2500. If not, I'll move these to my truck and put 265/75/16s on the Xterra instead.

Wrong. They are similar but GMRS is only in a small portion of band that is, by law, separate from amateur bands. Basic Ham Tech license includes a portion of 10m up through GHz frequencies. This is illegal.... I have a quad band Ham rig (10,6,2,70cm) that is in my Xterra and will be...

It's increased wear on the engine, sitting and idling. You also run the risk of it overheating and you not being awake to get it shut down before major engine damage is done. The police do it but they aren't asleep (at least not supposed to be) so if something goes wrong, they can take care of...

For readily available tires (read not Interco) my local tire guy has the best prices. You can get then cheaper online, but by the time you pay to mount and balance them, Homer is within a few dollars of the price and I'm supporting a local guy who's always taken care of me when I needed a quick...
