Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

Never again I spent ALONG time this weekend cleaning up the mess from last week. My whole engine was covered in mud

 

Chill brah. Just don't want you fucking up your truck over a puddle.

 

Funny how that works out

 

20 dollars says he will eventually do it again

 

I think we all do at some point.

 

Right...lol

I rather not bet .. LOL!!!

 

Anybody here have there ham radio license? I am taking the technicians exam on saturday.

If so what mobile rig do you have? I am looking at a Yaesu FT7900 or FT8800

 

nat, were you driving on 17 right by 85 last night around 4:45? I saw a truck that looks a lot like your with a RTT on top of the bed rack.

 

Yep,KJ6VWH. I have an FT7800 - it works extremely well, and the range/audio quality is much better than a (legal) cb setup. Problem is, most folks only have a CB or FRS radios, so I have those too.

 

Yep that was me, minutes from being home. I was just getting back from 4 days in the eastern sierra

 

Cool! Yeah I have FRS radios and a CB in my old Landcruiser. Likely I will do a CB setup in the Taco too.

I am leaning heavily towards the FT7900, The FT8800 has cool features like dual band monitoring and cross band repeat, but I am not sure how much I would use those functions.

 

The FT8800 is cool. I have not run into a situation where I need cross band repeat, but it is a neat feature to have. If I want to watch two frequencies, its easy to punch a couple of memories into 1 bank and leave it on scan, which picks up instantly. If I had to do it over again, I would not hesitate to buy an FT7800 or FT7900.

At the end of the day, both radios will perform. Just make sure you get a quality antenna like the Larsen 2/70 and mount it correctly.

 

Lol, not everybody wants to spend a whole Saturday learning about algebraic equations, electrical principles, components, RF Signals/propagation, Antennas and feedlines, Modulation modes, Safety, Station setup and operation, Operating Procedures, and FCC/ITU Rules/regs.

Pretty easy to get a CB up and running and also much cheaper.

 

This is true! Can't deny the low cost of a CB setup.

Its nice to have both! I'm covered wherever I go.

 

Wow.... I'm not sure what to say.

Yah and OJ got off....amirite?

 

some people are just way over their heads....

 

No worries man! Oh but I'm not super worried about intaking water in my engine. You need to suck in A LOT of water before hydrolocking. That's one of the last of my worries. Now if I was fording and if my intake was near a full body of water, I'd be worried then
