Hey C Bax, welcome from Oklahoma. Check out the US SE region section for more NC members: U.S. SouthEast (AR LA MS KY TN AL NC SC GA FL) | OVERLAND BOUND COMMUNITY

As a previous owner of an 82 Chevy C10 and 87 GMC R10, I can dig it!

I have a couple of write ups on APRS, one of which is how to send SMS Text and Emails (OB Approved - SMS Text and Email via APRS | OVERLAND BOUND COMMUNITY ). In this same thread on reply #7 I also show how to get weather forecast for your current area or even a destination area. I also have an...

Other than in part 95.1787 which is specific to GMRS radios capable of digital data, where is the non-removable antenna requirement noted?

I pretty much agree with @TahoePPV As he mentioned a 2m mono band radio will work to get you started but why limit yourself? I had planned on starting with a 2m only radio too until I found out the largest linked repeater system in my area (covering about 1/2 the state) was on 70cm. So I saved...

Camp set up, radios and antennas in the morning. Time to go jump in the lake.

Sorry to hear that, maybe by next year.

OB does recommend channel 15 for general use/monitoring.

Ubiety makes a good point. I took the question as a life or death situation, if help is needed but not life threatening I would probably use "help, is there anyone out there that can assist me" or some variation there of instead of Mayday. Also speaking of Colorado specifically they have a...

I think calling mayday is a good place to start, I might also give out the information (situation, location, etc) even if nobody responds to your call, there may be someone listening and either can't respond or you can't hear that may be able to pass along the information. I would use channel...

Welcome from Oklahoma.

Again, I'm not a YouTuber so don't expect a production quality video.

Had a buddy 10 miles away help me test. He couldn't really hear me on the MXT275 but had me 100% 9n the MXT575. Now I was using a 1/2 wave antenna for the 275 and though it's not a ground dependent antenna the lack of ground probably didn't help and my buddy was listening via a ham radio that is...

Ok, let me preface this by saying I am not a youtuber or content creator however I put together a short video unboxing both the 575 and 275 and comparing what you get in the box. Midland MXT575 vs MXT275 unboxing and visual comparison - YouTube I will have another video in the next day or two...

Coming up on 1 year on the waiting list.... :confused:

I probably won't be running the 20m station so if you do find us tell the operator to tell Jon (that's me) that you said hello.

We will be operating as W5O. Hope you are able to participate and we can make contact.
