Annual Spring Mojave Run May 4-6, 2012

I need to get a race radio

 

You just spent at least $10k on your truck and no race radio?! Come onnnn Rusty, get with the program!

 

I dont want a handlheld.

I want to get the whole set up from PCI race radio, With the headset and all

think im just gunna save up for that

 

PCI good luck finding one cheaper before the run. I bought mine 2 days before the run last time. And when I went to hamradiooutlet they didn't have a radio in stock that would work

 

Oh im not going to get one for the trip.

Im going to get the PCI Ultimate 2 package. sometime next month most likely.

 

the cable for the headset is more than the headset.. the radio was 329.00.. ill cut the whole for you and install the radio if u want.

 

i run both simply because no one at TW meets have a race radio. Plus I like listening to truckers and yelling at people with the PA on my CB


So is this meet happening yet or what?

 

oh yeah you have this set up too huh..

pics?

 

dunno, you comin?




what do you guys think about this?

RJ, just get a $100 handheld for the trip to hold you off, then sell it on the forums after. But thinking about it, and the truck you have you won't need it anyway . Last time I went, there were times I waslike like 5 miles behind at times

 

Well, some of you guys have CB. So im just gunna be listening on CB.

 

You should get the icom v8000 like mike and I have. it has all channel's available. I think that icom f5021 radio is limited to certain channels. James would know more about it. the icom v8000 costs $229 plus about $50-$60 for an antenna and you're good to go. buy the headset later.

I doubt anyone will be using a CB during the run and if they're running a race radio you don't have time to use 2 different radios while you're driving and calling out washouts, kickers & dead bodies.

 

plus that magnetic mount antenna won't last 5 minutes in the desert. it will be hanging off the side of your truck and we can't allow you to look that uncool.

 

Mine held up last trip :unsure:

 

then that's a strong ass magnet. I've never seen one stay on in the desert.

 

ill get a few up for u

 

mine never held up. always found it in the bed. hard mount it.

 

Maybe I'm just not driving hard enough lol

 

Handheld Icom V80.. and,

Six. Days. Left.

 

get the HAM radio... that way you can tap into other alternate frequencies that are not normally programmed into a race radio...
