Medlinaround's Build

I'd love to. If only I didn't drive it almost every day lol. Maybe in the future

 

Also, find me a good deal on a Ham radio already!

This one alright + an antenna?

If you just want a HAM for trail comms / or a good ol fashion QSO ragchew, might I suggest the Kenwood TM281 or the Yaesu 3100. They aren't fancy, or have a bunch of fancy features, but get the job done on 2m and have PLENTY of power to summon help from many miles away if need be.

I like the thought of portable. I'm done wiring junk all the time lol. Have a CB in the cab so I really don't want to throw $100+ on a ham as well.

 

I need to go to a pawn shop and look around

 

In that case, I have an F8-HP which is an improved

$19 Baofeng UV5R BAOFENG UV-5R VHF/UHF Dual Band Radio 144-148MHz 420-450MHz Transceiver

Baofeng UV5R (edit: like you linked above). That thing continues to impress me with its range. The extended battery I have too makes it last for forever it seems to. I can lend it for a 3 day trip and it'll go the whole time without a recharge, with quite a bit of on the road BSing.

 

Also, Btech sells an APRS cable for it, so you can run APRSdroid to the baofeng and have a complete APRS setup for under $100 plus a handheld.

 

sweet. I'll check it out. Thanks for the info!

 

The yellow UV-59 is $10 more over the same thing other colors? What bs

 

IDK why Amazon prices stuff like that. I was looking at pelican cases the other day and the black one was 259, the green one was 279, and the tan one was like 239. All the same price listed by Pelican. Must be a way to move one SKU over another I would guess.

 

I've noticed that. Well piss, wanted the Yellow'ern

 

Cody this is the handheld we are all using. Its the 8w version i mentioned in the text. If you can find one, get it, cause for a while they were on the fcc radar cause you can mod them to get on restricted frequencies

 

Alright, ill look into it

 

This thread sucks...






Overnighter at Red River Gorge. Awoke to a Ranger kicking us out due to The Rona.

 

Haha, this thread does suck for sure! Sweet photographer though!



Edit, those are also high quality gram photos!

Hit a deer, got a new front end and tarrs fixed rear wheel bearings. Still waiting on the steel bumper to arrive.

 

Ouch

But glad to see you got some decent tires on that thing. So much better than the All-Season tires you used to wheel with...

 

For sure. Don't use it as a daily as much now so wanted to finally beef her up a little.

 

What kind of tahrs. ?
They look good
