Wyoming B.S. Thread

ah well then its just south of Columbus.

if you go that way id caravan with you for a bit.

 

Yeah, it seems the area I am going to is anti-internet and still sell trucks by putting a sign in the window and parking it off the street. Hoping to find a good deal on a reliable 4x4 vehicle that way.

 

Ill let you know which route I take when things get closer.

 

One set is at the Toyota dealership and the other set is supposedly at the Ford dealership next door. I'm sure they wouldn't mind if you broke in...

 

I'm sure they wouldn't mind a bit, it's probably encouraged come to think of it

 

Bet you could get brandin to get you the keys and stage a stolen car

 

It had crossed my mind lol. "Funny you should mention the breaking in part"

 

You'd give that poor new sales girl a heart attack, is your family the Foss Motors, Foss'?

 

All in good fun. No relation that I'm aware of but I've never really pursued it. I guess with today's family tree technology I could try and search it out for some links to the name

Suppose if I was I would be driving a new taco since they have a Toyota dealership lol

 

Need a little help here .....
I'm looking at this tablet for using with aprs on my ham.
$70 at my local Best Buy ....
WILL IT WORK ?

Insignia™ - 8" - Tablet - 16GB

 

As long as it has a GPS chip and is an android you're good.

If it's windows. Gets a bit more complex but still do able.





About to start a fire! Out here. Starting to rain though too

 

I believe so , have to check again.
My radio has built in gps , Yeasue 400FTM

 

I don't see gps listed , I have a satellite reciever for gps that I pair with my non gps devises via wifi / bluetooth

It is Android marsmello 6.0

Do I really need the gps ? Like I said , my radio has it built in , and I have the receiver .
Currently I use the sat receiver on my iPad , it shows me my location on my pre- downloaded maps.

I've been to a local ham club ,no luck, and today went to a ham fest/flea market , asked a few people about aprs .... no one was into it nor using it
I'm new to this .... but I will figure it all out with a little help from TW friends !!

This is the reciever I have for non gps devices.
Works great

 

Real question is frank going

 

then you are good to go!

You have 2 ways to run APRS on your rig. You can do it directly to a TNC from your radio. Or do the tablet which will show you maps and stuff.





Well we caved. Didn't want to weather the constant rain that started. Oh well. Still got a campfire dinner. And we got to explore this sweet cave! goes over a mile down. We didn't go that far, but still was super cool to scramble down into the cave though! Took a bad ass photo. Working on it now

 

Nice looking pics Ben.

 

22-26 Eh? Please clarify. Are you working on the 26th? And coming after work that day?

 

No i won't work the 26th.




And cave time. This cave was opened to the public since the late 60s. Many a vandal has been through here..but it is still super cool

^^ Pretty cool to explore back in there. It goes on a pretty good ways. Not my cup of tea though, I prefer to see the views and not be claustrophobic the whole time.
