Are there only certain evenings where this facility might be available? Or is it pretty much a Monday through Friday thing?

I know Nate answered this one, but I just wanted to add a little more clarification: The Baofeng handheld ham radios will transmit on the FRS and GMRS frequencies. However, doing so is definitely illegal for one or two reasons. To legally transmit on GMRS frequencies, you must (a) have a...

Hey, I think that sounds like a great idea. If you want to start it, go right ahead. I'm sure I'll chime in. ;)

I am very sorry to hear this, Jack. An all-too-common sales tactic is to say what Marcus did, just to get you to sign the papers and take the car home. Even though I did not do this to you, it infuriates me that it happens. At this point, you are essentially at the mercy of their management...

Yeah, I was sad to see you couldn't make it. Scheduling is always a wild card, though. Next spring? There is no reason to wait that long. I will be happy to let you (and the whole forum) know when I'll have another open evening to do this again soon. I'd be glad to come to your house (if...

So we heard from Nate. :rofl:

Not that I know of. However, there is a free app for your phone called Echo Link. It gets its name from the Echo Link hardware, which is one way of connecting a repeater to the internet. If you have the EL app on your phone, you can use your phone to connect to any EL-capable repeater around...

They are made by Richard Bateman. Let me see how I can put him in contact with you. Yep, the Larsen NMO2/70B. I also have one on my Jeep.

Wouldn't that make him a +.5 rather than a +1? :D

So far the only confirmed attendees are Steve, Eric and myself. ... unless Nate and friend also show up. :) I know I like to rip on the Baofeng radios. I feel I am justified, since (a) I have one and (b) I've had one break on me. Nevertheless, if that's what it took to get you into the...

I'm right here. ;) One of the many things I enjoy about working at Doug Smith is my exposure--I can sell new Jeeps (and Chryslers and Dodges), new Subarus, new Kias, plus a whole assortment of used vehicles. I'll be glad to keep answering questions for you, Jack. The Cherokee's "Tigershark"...

What time would you like us to meet? 7:00?

Yes, we can cover a lot of ground in that time.

So far, it looks like the group size will fit your situation. Shall we tentatively plan on meeting at your place?

I am in. One of my co-workers says he is a definite, too. (I don't know which Jeep he will drive--he has 5 of them.) I haven't spoken to my other co-worker yet. I think I'll invite a couple more people, just for fun.

Rather than continually letting it get buried in that other thread, I felt it might be better to start a different one. A few of you guys with ham licenses have expressed a desire to get together for a hands-on radio activity. I am certainly not all that when it comes to ham radio, but I am...

(forehead smack) Now that you say that, I remember when you mentioned it earlier in this very thread. Sorry for my brain fart. At any rate, that looks like a sweet radio. I'm sure you'll love it. This is part of the fun of mobile operation--the installation process. You can set things up...

I suppose that day could work as good as any other. Right. The Maverik is at the very intersection (100 N Main Street) that leads us to the trail. It is the natural place to meet up (if we aren't camping, anyway).

I now have two co-workers who are interested in tagging along with me. One has a TJ built very similar to mine and has run it with me once; the other will have a rig of at least equal capability but he's never seen the trail before.

Glad to hear you saw the light and bought an actual mobile radio. Which model did you choose? You'll be impressed with the increased performance of the mobile radio, and I'm sure you'll love the reduced hassle of use as well. When you finally upgrade to a 'real' antenna, I bet you'll be...
