You'll need a rooftop antenna for your Ham signal to propagate beyond your truck's cab (this applies to ScorpioVI as well). Rooftops are mostly magnetic-mounts, and the coax can be snaked into your cab via an open window. Start with the Baofeng, and upgrade later.

That's a good number of rigs, awesome! We can all air down when we get to a clearing at the start of Bixby. Will anyone be CB-equipped? It'd be nice to have at least two rigs with comm (little/no cell signal on the trail). I'll have both Ham and CB.

I'm coming up from California, and plan on running northbound on Route 3, and cutting over to the ocean via Route 6, then head home along the coast - I'm hoping to make the run in mid to late-July with my son and perhaps a friend (and his son). I'll be purchasing the Rts. 3 and 6 maps from the...
