NW WA Meet / BS Thread

Mine is in the same spot. ^ also, I have a BAMF tailgate antenna mount, passenger side if anyone wants it...I don’t need it.

 

MURS?
All the fun of VHF without the license.
Just don’t transmit near the Canadian border maybe... or use repeaters

 

Or add the king county sheriff's band. They know when and where you transmitted on their band. Ask my boss how he knows.

 

Oh cool! Did you have anyone help you out with this mod? Or will you able to get it done on your own?

*Edit* Did you notice any MPG change?

 

Thanks all! We appreciate it.

I worked this mod on my “own”.....or at least that I know of haha

 

Grats man

 

I suspect your wife would argue that she did most of the heavy lifting on that mod!

 

Taking the Tech, and probably General, test in Renton this Saturday. Tech is pretty easy, been using various apps and websites to run practice exams. I need to cram for General though, most of my practice exams on that one are flaming piles of poo.....

 

I need to do this and get my antenna tuned.

I'm a little sketched out with the ditch mount bracket method up front. I have a heavy duty spring installed, but any movement with the antenna and the entire bracket flexes.

Also, I have an extra extension plate if anyone needs one...

 

it will flex a little bit and shouldn't be a problem. use a multi meter on continuity mode and make sure there is a beep between chassis and the bare metal part of the bracket. Then do same thing between the chassis and antenna mount and there should be no beep. SWR meter should be good after that. I mean, after adjusting the end of your firestik that is.

 

Might be time for a @Juforrest bracket...been running mine for several months.

 

Damn, I much prefer the spacing between the hood on his brackets. The caliraised one's I have sit super low... Had to sheer off part of the bolt to stop it from making contact w/ the hood

 

Thanks!

Story of my life hahaha

 

Well done! I, too, am double daughtered but add 14 years to your oldest...
We did the mouth mod of braces last week for the youngest, then the oldest on tuesday.

 

I have the Uniden 510XL and it is just ok.
Careful of the location of your antenna if you mount it by the drivers side ditch light, it will hit the windshield.
Get the fire ring instead of the coaxial cable, easier to install.

I am looking at this one:

Wait till u get to the pay for university mod!
Your taco mods will seem cheap in comparison.

 

Man your preaching to the choir. Finished 1 university mod but some how still paying for it?? Then still in the middle of a 2nd university mod.

 

fire ring was what I meant to mention but couldn't remember the name.

In other news I heard "FCC is about to ban the sale of radios that include FRS frequencies (462.5625 – 462.7250 MHz) and any other licensed band in a singe device."

So I'm stocking up on some Baofeng's. 5 packs on Amazon right now.

 

Saving since the first was one was in oven still.

 

Damn, I was debating picking up an 8 watt version, guess I will have to pull the trigger
