Charlotte, NC area: hate on OP, houses, boats & hoes

Looks good but that seems like it’s going to get in the way of your knee right?

 

Its actually just to the right or towards the consol. Might end up moving it if it poses an issue. Ive had others in similar positions that were a non issue.

Just wanted out of the way.

 

Gotcha. I tend to lean my knee over to that side (manspreader) so both the radio and the mic would seem to be in the way for me. Maybe just the angle of the photo though. I was pretty impressed with the build quality and having all the controls on the mic is slick. Did you get your antenna wired up?

 

Yea i did. Its posted in my build thread. Not really a write up on it. But more pics that what i posted here.

Its on a lip mount.

 

I need to learn more about GRMS stuff. I don’t have any coms

 

I feel like i dont know anything. Been watching youtube and reading everything i can.

But im a firm beleiver that CB's are a thing of the past. Even for trail comms. No reason to not go GMRS

 

you don't like tuning into channel 19 and hearing the truckers chit chat on the interstate?

there are a couple rednecks around me that like to talk on CB constantly...all they talk about is beer, fishing, and fucking their old lady. I used to turn it on for lols in the evening.

 

I just turn the nightly news on for my daily depression dose to remind me to hold my little monsters tight. Then have a drink and softly sob "soft kitty"

 

Just seems like more people are using GMRS now. And if your with a group running GMRS...your cb is pretty much a paper weight at that point. Gotta run what everybody else runs when it comes to comms.

Having said that...prob gonna pick up a handheld CB to keep in the truck just in case.

 

I like the weather channels on GMRS too

 

Agreed. I also love how clear the reception is. No static at all hardly. Big difference between F.m and A.m

 

What setup is everyone running. I’m driving and to lazy to look

 

Do your research but you'll end up with a Midland MXT-275.

I use a lip mounted NMO base as well, lots of antenna options.

 

Same..

 

What’s an ‘all-in’ set up run?

 

Just submitted my application and payed my fees. Patiently waiting for my call sign.

 

With the liscence fee im in it about 3 hundo

 

$150 for the radio, and it comes with an antenna so you are ready to go out of the box. The NMO antenna mount was $30-40 and then antennas can be 20-60 depending on what you get.
