Made my day.

 

What class is the one where everything is 8000 y/o?

 

There are brackets made to attach to the roof rack rails or even the bed rails and keep it low and clean.

 

These have been the best under hood lights I have found, very small completely sealed and low amp draw, come in red, blue, amber, and white. And only cost $12.

Are you saying mine isn't clean?



The truth is, they're harder to spot in person. I had to work to get photos that they stood out in

 

@Lars have you heard anything as to what is going to happen now with Verizon buying out the low band frequencies? I know several schools and concert halls will be affected because it's the same band that wireless microphones use right now.

 

Without trying to make them plainly visible....

 

Ha ha ha perfect.

 

It's always fun though to take a fluorescent light tube out and just stand there and watch the word come alight.

 

Argh math!!!!

 

Yep. Used to do that with a handheld just to teach supply troops to not hold the radio with the antenna smack between their eyes.

They got the point immediately.

 

I haven't... But I do know the FCC auctions off small portions of spectrum periodically.

Amateur Radio accounts for less than 1% of the available spectrum. What the FCC is auctioning off is even less than that.

 

They have not release exactly what frequencies were bought in the auction, just that Verizon spent $3billion with a B for the lot. Makes me think it's more than just a few barely used channels. Makes me think it's going to be an 800/900mhz fiasco all over again.


Edit

I just did some more research on it. FCC sold off broadband frequencies commonly used to broadcast television for a new 5g system with Dish, Yahoo, at&t, Verizon, tmobile, and comcast.

Altogether its 3billion from Verizon, and 5 billion from AT&T/DISH.

 

Trying to be less in debt and less fat?






Other than that, looks like I started a giant side rail of the entire thread that has left a lot of people extremely confused...

But thanks @Lars for the tons of info on what I pretty much need to do when I go about upgrading the antenna on this GMRS radio!

 

No you didn't learned I need to figure my long term plan for the radio use and I don't know anything about them. @Lars is going to help get mine set up once I get all my gear on my truck.

 

If @ChadsPride wants to set something up some weekend I'm free. I'd be happy to do a BBQ / Radio / Lunch and learn.

I could bring some of the desktop radio stuff out too. Like my APRS Receiver station.

 

That would be great. @ChadsPride

 

Just so we're clear... Nobody wants me to be doing the BBQing...
