I’m throwing together a trip for Memorial Day Weekend in south central Oregon. If any one is interested shoot me a DM for the details. We are looking for a couple of people to represent the Tri-Cities Area.
I program in the major repeaters in the areas I’m going to be traveling through. I have found UHF/VHF my primary comms plan with HF being my backup. I am currently running an Icom IC-7100 for voice and a Kenwood TK-790H for APRS and packet.
I found HF opened a lot of doors for me... and was more on track with what I wanted to do with amateur radio than what the technicians license allows... for a solo overlander, I feel General is the minimum a person should try to achieve. Last week a guy broke down in the middle of no where...
Got the tick fixed... it was probably a collapsed lifter... Oil leak patch is in (JB-Weld), and now I’m searching for the parts to rebuild my transfer case... come to find out stuck in low range means one of two things... either the range selector switch is broken, or the oil pump went out...

I went through a couple
Of sections late last summer in a stock 2004 4Runner... after the snow melts and the mud dries up the trails aren’t that bad... and the worst places have alternate routes... I would think early July would work out great.
For a budget Yaesu 2 meter rig, the FT/-2980 is hard to beat... but it has several shortcomings for Overlanding... main one is it’s single band. I find myself using both 2m and 70cm when out on trail rides. The other shortcoming is the ability to easily program repeaters on the fly. But...

Huston has a plethora of salvage yards... I’m on another forum where a guy is in almost daily posting his salvage yard finds all writhing 30 minute drive from his apartment near downtown Huston.
