    New from Central MS

    That new Bronco looks awesome! I like the look and it seems like they are really getting the aftermarket support to challenge Jeep for the lego of offroad vechiles. I am in Western North Carolina but I spent many years in the Waveland MS area. Welcome

    NC ROLL CALL

    Welcome from WNC! Sorry to hear about the Xterra, I pray that everyone was ok. I personally like the GX platform I have an '07 GX470 so I am not as knowledgeable with the 460s. When I started driving my Lexus through the woods everyone thought I was crazy but now you see them pretty regularly...

    North Carolina , Croatan National Forest

    Cape Lookout part of the National Seashore is on my list. Not sure if it is always open or if it has seasons but I do know you will need to catch a ferry to get there that can be expensive.

    Midland Ham Radio

    Have you looked into Pi-Star? Not sure about the cost to build one but it "Plays" with DMR, D-STAR, and YSF. Have not looked into it enough to know if you can still use your Pi as a normal Pi while not using it as the HotSpot. But my guess would be it would be cheaper than getting a new...

    Icom 2730a and Mobilinkd are OTW, who is ready for APRS?

    Yes, you need one! I programmed my new radio in the car using the Pi and tablet, no mouse, no keyboard. It is nice to have that little box, a tablet, and a battery pack to make a 'Laptop' and use CHRIP. Just a note on KM4ACK's Build a Pi series, the series went through several evolutions in...

    Any ARES/RACES operators around?

    So years ago there was a little storm named Katrina that hit the gulf coast. Half of my extended family lives in that area. So within just a couple of days of that storm, the half of the family that did not live there went to help. During our extended stay helping family and friends I had the...

    Icom 2730a and Mobilinkd are OTW, who is ready for APRS?

    I currently have that same cable and use it with my cheap HT and it seems to work well enough. I am hoping to make an adaptor to go from that cable to other radios. Attempting to allow almost any 2m radio with VOX to work with APRSDroid. Also looking to see if I can trigger PTT with some...
