Th reason you’re getting flack is because OB is very clear on the priority of Overland Coms. First is Amateur Radio, secondly is GMRS, and third is CB. LTE isn’t mentioned because it’s not reliable for Overlanding trail coms, or as an emergency coms backup off grid… we would have better luck...

There is a person in Spokane coming down looking for caravan/camping opportunities https://www.overlandbound.com/forums/threads/inland-northwest.43698/

Are you running the latest version of OB1, this was an issue a long time ago… several months at least, but was fixed quite promptly when found.

Thanks for the heads up

Just tried on my iPad and iPhone… I don’t have to log out of either one.

Pros and cons LifePro4 batteries Pros: Lighter than AGM or Lead Acid Battery of the same Amp Hour rated battery More usable energy without damage to the battery (translates to longer use cycles between charges) Flat voltage drop through 95% of the battery discharge rate Easy to add solar...

Also check in to the “Treaure Valley Crew”, they are heading out Friday from Caldwell and convoying down together. If nothing else be sure to look for the guys at the Expo. https://www.overlandbound.com/forums/threads/treasure-valley-overland-expo-pnw.43703/

Your FTM 400xd’s can pick up GMRS, and with a simple mod can be made to transmit on the GMRS band (although not exactly legal to TX).

I don’t understand your comment about 40m HF… every time I turn on my HF rig 40m is hopping with POTA/SOTA activators and hunters… breaking through the pile up might be a challenge, but I find calling CQ on an agacent frequency gets me at least one contact. Jumping in on a Net gains me several...

I agree there

Green is national forest service, blue Indian reservation, orange is BLM.

Hello and welcome to Overland Bound. @OTH Overland is the acting member representative for your area. As @Ubiety pointed out, keep an out on the Rally Points for events happening throughout the Northwest.

There is a lot you can do with a Subaru… I’m looking at downgrading my Full Sized Bronco to A Forester or Accent. Adding a 2” lift, and some armor… the Subaru is a very capable brand right out of the box… don’t let the 2” of ground clearance scare you…

@David H, @reaver , @dansun86, and a few others are meeting up to convoy down from the Boise Area. You might want to change the RP details to say this is for the “Treasure Valley” members and members along the route to meet up… there is already an official thread(s) for the Expo in general.

You’re in offline mode, go to settings and turn offline mode to automatic. the second issue of your map recentering to your current location is you have the bullseye pressed to center on your location.

I think @K12 is trying to get a convoy started from the Spokane and Northeast corner of the Region to head down to PNW Overland Expo. If members are planning on attending the Expo between Sandpoint, Idaho and Bend, Oregon and would like to travel with a group please RSVP and let’s start talking...

Thank you. I was about to make one myself… glad you did it Beau. https://www.overlandbound.com/event/overland-expo-pnw-2022/

@stonefoxsally Welcome Sally, I am the Northwest Director, @Sandpoint Steve is your closest member representative. Steve has a monthly Conference Call dedicated to helping those new to the hobby get their feet wet (so to speak). There are several people going to the PNW Overland Expo next...

Tell your wife: “This Scout (not the panel) I bought to recoup the cost of building the Travel-All). All I’m doing is adding the running gear and drive train and then selling it.” on a serious note, there is a guy over here that drives all over the NW looking for scouts and first gen broncos...

After a year of planning, testing equipment, and getting ready for the best Field Day ever, I am disappointed that I have to cancel… I might run have of the event from my home QTH, but due to an unforeseen tragedy I won’t be able to participate for at least the first half. Have fun out there...
