    Well I decided I had a need for a handheld spotlight for the truck after viewing property at night and not being able to see much of anything. Took @squint0241 taste/advice and settled on a nitecore TM26, and holy shit. It's perfect. And it fits perfectly in the center console with the Salex divider! Also in preparation for the possibility I might be able to make the gulches 2016 meet :fingerscrossed: I ordered a Baofeng UV-5R5. Should be able to talk to everyone now! :D

    A couple members on here run them. I have a CB but wanted to expand comm capabilities. Plus I can hear the weather alerts.

    Good call on both items!! You won't regret it! I suggest you get yourself a better antenna than the short stubby that comes with it. Better broadcast and range. I went with this one off Amazon:
    $21 Authentic Genuine Nagoya NA-771 15.6" Whip VHF/UHF (144/430Mhz) Antenna SMA-Female for BTECH and BaoFeng Radios

    In theory Yes. You can access emergency services broadcasts (police/fire) on certain freqs, so you have to be careful if you're not registered. You can take a class and get a license which is recommended, but it's a judgement call. Can't ever say I saw anyone arrested for using a HAM without a license, but just play it safe if you don't get a license. I only use mine off-roading and for short comms with the guys I'm with. I'm not a HAM hobbyist nor do I plan to be. It's just a better all around comms device and has access to radio and weather services if you're remote.

    Bro...honestly I can't give you an honest intel report until I take it on my next outing...:( But most of my buds who are HAM guru's highly recommended I get a longer antenna. Actually, they said to also get a truck mounted whip (4') approx...but I'm waiting before I make that leap. I'll keep you posted...:)
