Weird that ham radio would be the requirement to run a trail in a group. Seems like that would take the fun out of the run. Still, it brings up the point that people are try to work through. I’d be happy to join in on any conversation on radio. For me, it’s ham radio first and then GMRS. Can...

"Meh" seems disappointing since it seems like there are many threads talking about the issue. I'd also say that FRS radios are too weak for a convoy longer than a few miles. If I wanted to have a basic minimum, I would say that the VHF band is a perfect way to do this. FM mode, and more than...

This is a common subject for discussion as it fits well here. EMS, Fire, and many other services that rely on radio communication deal with this issue every day. I am new to overland travel and 4x4 vehicles, but I have many years of experience with radio. I am happy to see that it is becoming...

Nice WJ. I have an 04 Laredo. Which 3” lift did the previous owner put on it? Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk

I am learning to do this too. I have a Nikon D5100. Just got the 35mm lens for it!! Basically you start with longer than normal exposure times. Open the aperture wide to let in more light, and then experiment with ISO to get the exposure correct. My first night shots were of fireworks...

KB9YOJ here. I like APRS and would encourage all OB Hams to do APRS with voice alert on the trails.

I like the looks of your wheels and tires. I have a stock 04 Laredo with Quadra-Trac2. Your Overland has the quadra-drive system? Matt

Just signed up and purchased a membership. I have a 2004 WJ which is stock for now. Looking forward to traveling with the Jeep and exploring. Here is a pic! I am a novice to 4x4's and overland travel. I enjoy amateur radio and fishing, both great hobbies to take with me on a trip! TTFN...
