This is good to hear. I'll probably go with the rear mount when I have both radios. For now I will use the cowl mount that I fabricated for my GMRS radio and see how that works. Another question... What is the best practice with regards to grounding mobile antennas? I read things like they...

Back 20 years ago or so I started shooting with the Canon EOS system in film and then migrated to the 20D way back when. My travels then became more backpacking and reduced carry focused so I "downsized" to an Olympus 4/3 system so I wouldn't have to deal with all the heavy glass and gear with...

Thanks for providing all of this good information for us that are just getting started with these units. I had recently purchased the 275 along with the 6dB antenna which I plan to mount on the passenger side cowl by the front window pillar of my Jeep for now. I am planning on taking the HAM...

I had just signed up for a Death Valley trip this December which reminded me of our plans for a September eastern sierra trip and that we were going to kick some ideas around. The following are some possible options that come to mind... Alabama Hills - Scenic rock area near Lone Pine with...

I had just purchased this one from their website last week... MicroMobile® MXTA26 6db Gain Whip Antenna | Midland Radio

I have only been to the racetrack via the valley and Teakettle. The two times before that I was there I was in a 4-Wheel truck and didn't think the back road out was a good idea at the time. I'm game for it now with my Rubicon but it might not be suitable for vehicles that don't have...

It looks like you have all the major locations on the list. It would be good to camp near those with the best sunset/sunrise opportunities which I think include the dunes, the salt flats at Badwater, and the Racetrack. The timing near new moon is great and we should check where the Milky Way...

I’m tentatively in just need to verify some dates. It has been a few years since I have been shooting photos in Death Valley. I enjoyed the backcountry sites such as the Racetrack the most.

Here is a video of the trail to give you an idea of the terrain. He passes a Suburu during the last minute of the video that was abandoned because it wasn’t able to make the trip.

Welcome! My mom was born in Jyväskylä and I have an uncle and cousin that live in Mänttä.

The Bristlecone Pines in the White Mountains are pretty cool and now is the best time to go when there is no snow on the ground. They have campsites nearby but I think they are still shut along with the other facilities but the area with the trees is still open. The area is easily accessible...

In addition to possibly making a Big Bear run one of these weekends there was talk of an extended 3-day weekend trip up 395 either the weekend before or after Labor day weekend. We would start to list some ideas here and firm up a trip which may include Alabama Hills, Coyote Flats, and the...

I am interested but tentative pending my daughter's schedule for going back to school not occurring that same weekend. I would like to join from the LA area and meet up there on the 395. Would GMRS radio work or will you be communicating solely on HAM bands?

Let us know how things go. If you can find a good spot this weekend perhaps things aren’t as bad as I have been made to understand.

I have an iPad Pro that runs Gaia great but I have been very surprised how well Gaia also runs on an inexpensive $130 Samsung 8" tablet that I just purchased. Unlike the iPad the Samsung has GPS built-in even though it is wifi only and at the low cost point I won't cry too much if the tablet is...

I used to plan trips like you when I was younger that tries to cram in as much as possible in the time I have. I have learned to back off of that a bit but still tend to err on the cramming side. Off the top of my head I would suggest the following: 1. Try to reduce the number of days that...

Good to know that this all seems reasonable. I'll now need to do more research on how I'll ship my rig back and forth from the states.

Do these same compliance rules in Europe apply to vehicles outside the EU or just those registered in member countries? Would I be able to bring my registered and street-legal in California Jeep to drive in Europe? I have been wanting to go back to Iceland for a more extended visit one of...

I have been wanting to do the same the past few weekends however the backcountry in the eastern sierras have reportedly been packed with people wanting to get out but social distance and most established campgrounds still closed or fully booked. Many dispersed sites have been overwhelmed by...

Some good basic Big Bear area trails I have done in the past month were Big Pine Flat Trail (3N16) between Arrowbear and Lake Baldwin. It's around 29 miles through basic dirt roads with some good stopping places in the Holcomb Valley. Out of Lake Baldwin the Burns Canyon Trail (2N02) will get...
