Oh I mean the half roof rack with camper combo

 

I am still waiting for a response to get a free rack from him so I can compare how "different" my Prinsu and his "CTRL+V" rack is..

 

@jberry813 did it.

 

I wouldn't hold your breath.

 

Oh fuck, am I dead?

Zombie TW...

 

Ah.



Feel like there's gotta be a better way to skin that cat

 

I've had the Prinsu for about a year now, no point in buying a new rack or having something custom made when a few snips will do the job.

I have DCLB so I'm going to cut the prinsu after the second set of mounting points then over and up so it'll fit, might not be the prettiest thing but I think it'll work just fine, and should be plenty strong.

My inspiration lol, he got the gears turning. He has an a DCSB and only has the two front mounts and very little room on his rack. I figure I should be able to run at least two crossbars and a mounting plate with my set up.

There likely is, but I haven't found it yet. Prinsu has a shorty rack for the Habitat, but it uses the 4 forward mounting points and I'd still end up having to cut to make it fit. I could just go without a rack, but I'd hate to lose that space, if I don't have to.

 

Yes it lies flat. You actually have a little adjustment room. I’d say the full arc is about 95 degrees so you can make it vertical at full up and it has a slightly negative axis when fully retracted.

If you zoom in the passenger roof below you can see it when retracted.

 

A local?!?!

 

20 minutes south of your boarder.

 

Thanks. That's exactly what I'm looking for.

 

This might actually work. What mount is that, and does it fold down?

 

Sure does.

 

Awesome thanks.

 

Not sure if it’s been covered here, but the 2 meter band is under threat.

Here’s a change.org petition to try to save it.

I made a handy 3d printed screen cover for the FTM-400. Its posted up here for anyone to use

That's pretty cool

 

Got Wires-X running mobile. With the new firmware a FT2D can connect direct to a windows tablet. That leaves the FTM400 to scan on A and run APRS on B.



Yeah, looks a little cluttered. Need to mind the wires still.

 

What clutter? Looks cool!
Heck, the Clean Installs thread is for post declutter. This thread starts with amateur.

(Truth be told I do eventually declutter)
