I was thinking of mounting the Tarheel inside my Bronco with the whip sticking out the side… if a EFHW works as an inverted L, why wouldn’t a screwdriver?

it is amazing how fast the weather changes. T-shirt weather last week, winter parka today.

Exactly… even if you carry both a laptop and programming cable it’s still not easy to do while driving.

You can get a Yasue FT65R for $89.00 and do the MARS cap mod and have the Large Fry. Let’s discuss the radios you are looking at… I’m familiar with all of them (meaning I have hands on real life experience), so each one has its pluses and minuses. The Kenwood 710 is a good overland Coms...

If you haven’t watched Jason’s Chanel… he was at Expo East, and Belton Expo recently

Why spend money on a junky radio… spending money on a Baofeng is like handing out an extra $40.00 at McDonalds for a small fry. Buy a cheap name brand radio that meets FCC standards for a few dollars more.

@Line guru , see what I told you in my last reply in our private conversation @GreyMatter confirmed it again. Don’t try to understand all of the information. As you use the radio service you will learn what you need to learn. One thing I have learned in the Ham Community is that every one...

Power is generally discussed mostly under the Overlanding Gear/ DIY projects… https://www.overlandbound.com/forums/forums/overland-do-it-yourself-projects/ But yes I agree there should be a Power Distribution forum, or at least electronic forum

Yes you can own the equipment and listen without a license Yes you can transmit in an emergency on Amature radio frequencies. An emergency is considered immediate threat of loss of Life, Limb, Eyesight or danger of property damage.. Amateur Radio is self regulated. We as hams monitor for...

Kind of… only thing similar is that GMRS is chanalized like CB… other than that not even close… GMRS is more powerful than CB (hence the need for a license) GMRS max transmission power is 50 watts where CB is 4 Watts GMRS is FM while CB is AM GMRS is UHF while CB is HF CB no license...

Looking at the Breedlove Mounts… wow they are spendy. They look pretty, but they are no better than what I already came up with for mounts… in fact I think my custom 1/4 panel mounts are better than his… I used 8” X 8” X 1/8” steel plate welded to the inside of the rear quarter panel.

I have the larger 65l, no noise… a 220aH battery lasts me 24 hours set at -8 degrees on regulat power… I can get 72 hours at 45 degrees in economy setting.

The rallies the OP goes on use both GMRS and Ham.

Correct…. The QTH problem is below 7.2 I have so much RFI the band is useless to me. Also it doesn’t help that I have an AM broadcast station 1/4 mile from my QTH that is producing severe sparious emissions (we in the area have put in numerous complaints and nothing has been done except to be...

I’m looking at the Breedlove mounts now. I will not be using my trailer hitch as a mounting point… unless I make a separate 2” receiver that won’t interfere with towing. If you’re telling me to leave the screwdriver antenna at home when I head to the woods and use hamsticks, that won’t work…...

I figured a screwdriver antenna is my best bet.. I even mentioned that in my first post. So thank you guys for confirming my suspensions. Im still going to play around with my ATU and whip to see how well I can get it to work while I wait for the ability to order a screwdriver antenna.

I’ll muddy the waters a little bit Bjoern, if your interested in getting your GMRS License, check out: How To: GMRS - ZA FCC License
