You want an STI??

 

For a HT I’m using a Alinco MD5GP and really like it. Not overbearing and it’s dual band with DMR and GPS. I went with the powerhouse Kenwood TM-D710G in the truck. I figured it had everything I wanted and more so I wouldn’t be looking to upgrade anytime soon. Don’t be afraid to pop a hole in the roof. I’be hit repeaters 43-45 miles away with the Kenwood. Plus it does APRS out the box. I’d love to have a Kenwood D74 but it doesn’t do DMR.

 

Morning

 

Alright Einsteins. Riddle me this, if you take a fish out of water is it considered wet?

 

It’s still just a fish.

 

Is there no Chick Fil A out there? Screw McNasties breakfast when I can get God's nectar of a chicken biscuit

 

But is the fish wet or dry once taken out of water?

 

It wasn’t wet while in the water, but would be consider a wet fish upon removal.

 

It would also be a thirsty fish.

 

What if said fish is located in a Dry County to begin with.

 

Yall think this is an ok compressor to keep around the house?

Eventually I'll get an impact wrench to use with it, will that work?

Thanks yall​

 

For $119 you cant go wrong.

That'll work good for blowing up an inflatable pool too!

 

Lol!! Sounds Good!

As long as it will power an impact wrench I'm good. That's the end goal.

For the time being I'll just use it for airing up tires and blowing compressed air around during detail work

 

Get a nailgun and practice target shooting in the garage lol

 

OK for smaller stuff. Not a huge reserve of air which impacts will need. Impacts like bigger tank capacity. Get a rechargeable impact. I bought a DeWalt 18v impact. Haven't even seen my air or electric (corded) impacts since.

 

​

I'm currently rocking a car port but wouldn't mind letting one go at the tree about to fall over in the front yard.

 

Good info! I have limited room in the house till we move to a garage equipped home. Just trying to get by on the bare minimum like usual lol.

 

Doubt that will have enough CFM for a impact. Be a lot of waiting. I’ve got a 33 gallon one. Check the CFM listed on a impact and buy a compressor that will produce that.

 

Years ago, when I was still trying to make it as a carpenter...I was trimming the front porch on a new house. Lunch time came along. We just sat there on the porch and ate. About half way through, a mouse came wandering across the porch. He got about 5 feet from me. I picked up my air nailer, pulled the safety back and popped off a shot. 2" 15ga finish nail. Head shot. Through and through. Mickey was dead instantly....1 shot....

I could have fired a box a 5000 nails and most likely never hit it again. But #1 was a killer. My helper was impressed.

 

Dang it, yeah I was afraid of that.

All the others they recommend are in the $300 range. Can't afford
