Yes we could. I’ll look into seeing what this would take.

I only half agree. A 5 watt transceiver is going to be a disappointment when traveling alone and needing help. Get as much radio as you can afford. For under $200 a person can get a simple easy to use 80w transceiver and a 5/8 wave mobile antenna. It may not be a fancy transceiver with a TNC...

No, it’s not still active. We didn’t have enough interest for net control or participation.

No such thing as excessive cleaning when it looks that good

Also to add to this the only way to reply to threads via IOS is to blindly find the text box after hitting reply button in order to bring up the keyboard.

I hear ya… mine was pretty bad as well, although I never got mine quite that clean.

Wow your transfer case looks better than new… I don’t think they were that shiny brand new.

Yes, that is why the IC7100 is the better choice.

I have both of them. And unless you’re planning to do POTA (which is why I got the 891) would actually chose the IC7100 for more power and better ECOMs. Also the IC7100 is a lot easier to use than the 891.

Google didn’t fail you, specs aren’t being released until closer to the release date of the radio.

I’m in agreement with everything @Dilldog said. digital voice is a fun service to play around with, it not practical for Overlanding.

https://www.overlandbound.com/forums/threads/need-some-2m-70cm-transceiver-help.45766/ As you will notice, I was aware the day after I posted that there is a new radio coming out by Yasue, but it’s not a FTM-400XDR replacement.

I gave him some study guides and he took the test online with W7MX test group.

Well I have my solution… the Icom IC5200A has CAT control, as well as a Bluetooth board… so I can run APRS off of my iPad, and still use other packet operations via PC wile using phone on VFO A.

Obviously your not familiar with the seat on a Full Sized Bronco… they are fold and tumble to allow access to the rear passenger compartment. So under the seat mounting isn’t an option. i have an APRS tranciever I built. Problem is it only works on one frequency. I only mentioned the 500...

For my base station a dedicated Packet Radio is an option, and one I would rather do, and no need for APRS at the QTH. However I’m the road I’m trying to reduce radios… I still have the 7100 (I’ll be getting it back in a few months) which I would like to not have to use for packet and finding...

My Icom IC-7100 lost its magic smoke and I’m sending it in for repair as we speak. But I need an excellent 2m/70cm transceiver that can easily connect to a TNC and can do APRS out of the box. My first choice was the Kenwood TM-710g, but it’s been discontinued for a while now. I’m not...

GMRS itself is a very basic radio, just slightly more advanced than CB. The difference is privacy tones and repeater usage.. basically just need to turn the radio on, time the volume up select the channel and hit the PTT if the frequency is clear of people talking.

No software needed, but CHIRP would give you advanced settings as well as repeater programming. To turn on the unit, just twist the volume knob clockwise to the desired volume level. The up/down triangles change the Chanel, the A/B select which VFO you are talking on and which on you are...
