I still love it and have never found myself wishing I still had an Apple Watch or Galaxy Watch. Excellent battery life, great functionality, etc. The one thing I might change, and it's a simple setting change, is when the backlight is triggered. Right now I have it so the backlight is only...

I'm not new to towing (have had multiple HD diesel pickups and various trailers), definitely not undersprung, not wanting Caddy boat smooth, not hitting the bump stops (The bumps in question aren't big enough to cause full compression of the suspension anyway). Think riding a hardtail bicycle...

Yup, most of the roads are similarly crappy here in Illinois. That's my plan with the RS9000s as well, figure out which settings work best on-road and off, with and without the trailer, and hopefully end up with a more well-rounded ride. I haven't spoken to Deaver directly, but this leaf...

As with many things ham, this can be a hot topic when it comes to "can" vs "should" and you may get some heat from the black-and-white ham purists. No judgement from me (that would be hypocritical anyway ;) ), my thought on this specific mod and use is something like this... For the majority...

While it's pretty much impossible to have a Goldilocks setup that is great for all use, I have to do something about the on-road ride while towing our trailer. The main issue is expansion joints and other "sharp" bumps in the road that basically turns my rear suspension into solid metal sticks...

So, for some time now I'd just been loading whatever tools I though I'd need into a canvas tool bag, but I got tired of that and wanted to have a dedicated set of tools for my truck/trailer. I went relatively cheap and bought the 3-bag bundle from Official Tool Roll and so far have only filled...

I sent you a PM with my email address. Thanks! You can access the messages section from the 3-line/hamburger menu at the top right of the app.

That would be amazing, thank you!

Are they day passes or camping? Camping is currently sold out and I've never been to KOAR or that area so I don't know what issues I might run into trying to find off-site camping nearby, so if those are camping tickets that would be amazing. Assuming you still have them available.

Huh?

It's that selfish/entitled attitude that is going to be the end of us as a society and planet, people not caring about anyone or anything but themselves and what they want right now. Not sure how we got to this point, but society needs a serious course correction ASAP as we're quickly...

Globalstar already has, or claims to have, full coverage of Alaska for SPOT devices. That's why the spotty coverage, no pun intented, for the iPhone is odd. Must be some sort of technical limitation on the iPhone side with how it communicates...

I think that (highlighted above) is the key, people that operate modified radios on frequencies outside their approved bands don't stand out as being problematic. I don't think anyone would even know if someone were on a GMRS radio or modified ham radio on GMRS frequencies as long as they...

Related to unlicensed use, when we were in Colorado this summer I was monitoring the 2m national calling frequency and heard a number of people communicating casually to others in their group. No call signs ever given. Seemed like people were just buying radios online, discovered the national...

That's interesting, I'm curious why there's a coverage issue in Alaska then considering SPOT devices have basically full coverage in Alaska. Must be something specific to the way Apple is setting things up with them.

To be fair, it says may not work above 62 degrees northern latitude. That's kind of a hint/magic number as to what service Apple is using; Starlink.

What about those cheap, crappy radios? ;) A radio having the frequencies opened up to ones they're not supposed to use doesn't make them valid/legal for use. There have been resellers/distributors that have gotten into trouble for selling such radios...

Nope, and there will never be one. FCC regulations prohibit it.

I have no idea since it lives in the trailer, sorry!
