Already Voted Chris, Thank you. APRS isn’t a deal breaker yet... but will be in my future if this virus keeps it up.

I went and voted and left my $0.20 worth.

The only reason I run GAIA is because BCN isn’t supported on iPhones... I really don’t want to switch back to android.... but if APRS isn’t supported, then I might have to.... unless the new OB 2.0 takes care of it.. I will be sure to make the suggestion...

I was wondering if there is a plug-in for using APRS with GAIA like Backcountry Navigator does?

Maybe we can do an end of July trip down to the Trinity Mountains... @KRose says it’s time to get our Washington and Idaho fishing Licenses.

That sounds like when I am planning my first overnight trip on Mt. Emily... could easily turn it into a day longer if you want... still playing by ear due to this Virus thing.

No I was thinking more along city, county, and state roads and highways until getting to the FS roads and trail systems.

You speak of “ Turn by Turn” directions... does this work similar the street turn by turn on Wade or similar?

Wow that country is beautiful... @KRose we need to go here this summer.

I’m here as well. I love sharing my stories as well as listening to others. Send me a DM sometime and I will send you my contact information

You pick a weekend and head up to La Grande area, 2 hours west of you, and I can show you some interesting places... also I head to Sumpter a lot during the summer months, lots of meet places to explore near that ex mining town.

I think my old desktop (not that old, but I haven’t seen it in 2+ years) was running a dual boot Windows 10/ SuSe Linux Distro. Pi-SDR... going to look into that... @J.W. great ideas... thanks to everyone’s input... keep the ideas flowing.

@OTH Overland Dream rig is a Yaesu FTM-400XDR. Most of the local Ham Clubs guys here run it... so having the APRS system will make things easier to do things with them.

Good call @Spud.Built better to err on side of caution.

Welcome Mike. As you probably noticed, I am the Regional Director. @Sandpoint Steve is the Inland Northwest Member Representative and @David H is the Treasure Valley Member Advisor. As for tonight’s meeting...you missed a lot... biggest news is the change of venue for Beers and Gears next...

Interesting screen name... I was a 63S, 63b, and 91B... thank you for your service

Is Wires still a thing? Or is it now only Wires-X? If wires is still a thing then the FT-2900 has wires capabilities... if not... then a digi radio is out for a month or two...

@SteveE , welcome glad you finally joined. I am the Northwest Director, @Munga Brown is your closest Member Representative. Tonight we have to conference calls for the Eastern Part of the region, although all members are encouraged to join the call. The first call is the Treasure Valley...

That’s my plan... IF I need it... I’m still researching this converter... so let’s skip over the power supply issue for now. Besides building an antenna, what is some other diy ham projects that would be net in a ham shack?

Could... but goes back to no sun where I can put a solar panel... battery= money: solar panel = money... power converter = free... I also need a power supply for my rc hobby, so goes back to still need a 50 amp power supply and I have 2 inverters one doing nothing and one running 25% of its...
