Mobile or handheld? If you're looking for a handheld I wouldn't even consider Midland since none of their handhelds offer repeater capability, and that may be something that you find useful in the future and want to use. For mobile I"m still not a huge Midland fan they are kind of feature...

I'm just reading the words you wrote man. That's all.

The Mazdaspeed Miatas were turbocharged. They made about 40 more HP than a standard model. 180-190 HP in a car that weights a bit over 2000 lbs is nothing to sneeze at. But they were never meant to be straight line speed cars. I miss my supercharged first gen. 150hp and 1800 lbs :innocent:

You'll need more than one antenna. Install an NMO mount and get an NMO CB antenna. I have a Browning BR-140 which is a CB antenna with a NMO base. It's a whip style antenna and I've drug it through some heavy underbrush and it's take being bent quite a bit. I do typically use my dual band...

It's a dealer cash grab. I always opt out. They try to charge you to put nitrogen in the tires for crap sakes. When I found a mismatched lug nut that wasn't even the right kind for the wheel that was on the van we were looking at I told them their "multi point inspected certified pre owned...

The local HAM club runs SKYWARN around here. I've activated a few times from the house but rarely driven anywhere they've just asked for my report from my QTH. We haven't regularly used hand me down equipment for a long time. A ton of our stuff is almost USMC specific even down to our...

I run a Jackery 300. At 70ish degrees it'll run my 21 quart fridge for about 50 hours on it's own. It's plenty for my uses. I'll rarely be in a spot for multiple days in a row and can charge off the Jeep but I've also got one of their 100 watt panels I got on sale and can throw that up if I...

IIRC the "VFO" is receive only.

If you like curvy pavement there's a few roads in Arkansas, if you're closer to that state, that are similar to "The Dragon". "The Pig Trail", which is AR-23 and "Push Mountain Road" Which is AR-123. There used to be a Killboy style photographer that operated on 123 for a few years but my...

I'm running this one. Big enough for my uses. I've got run time data around here somewhere with it running a Jackery 300. F40C4TMP Portable Refrigerator Freezer 20 Quart 12 Volt Car Freezer Refrigerator 18L (-7.6℉~50℉) with 12/24V DC Portable Car Fridge Fits for Tesla Model 3, Truck, RV...

Probably way less lol

I've got that same radio. Save yourself a lot of headache and get the 20 dollar cable and download the free CHIRP app. I'm not sure where you got the idea it's "idiot proof". It's a HAM radio with the menu layout of other chinese radios. Which is to say manually entering in information is an...

I was just up there for an overnighter last weekend. Hauled out what I could fit in the Jeep.

Those hydraulic jack strands and one that plugs into air are cool but good god they take up a ton of space.

It's amazing how large "small" trucks have gotten over the years.

They have one for android as well as a program for PC that does the same thing.

Used the CJ yesterday to clear some fallen limbs and trees from around the property and moved them to the burn pile, then cruised the access roads around our neighborhood clearing off the same from the roads. This morning I took the XJ to work and threw the Z Cable chains to make it a drama...

I'm always looking at my next tire. I've ran everything from high end BFGs to remolds. There are deals out there to be had. Just make sure you do your internet foot work as far as browsing internet forums, and reviews. Currently I'm rolling around on Achilles Desert Hawks. Both ATs and MTs...

Because there are places you can use soft shackles are safer than steel shackles. Example is connecting two straps together, if you use a steel shackle in this instance and one of the straps fails you now have a 2lb missile, where as the soft shackles will carry far less energy in such a...

Look up "Oklahoma Adventure Trail" via google. First post in this thread should have the GPX of the whole route. https://advrider.com/f/threads/making-of-the-oklahoma-adventure-trail.836706/
