Hey Jeremy - The dual band is for the HAM frequencies, which also happens to work with the GMRS radio. You will need a separate antenna for the CB. I actually just retired my Cobra 75, it was hard to hear in the Jeep, although that could be solved with an external speaker. I will probably...

Def need a license...

After some discussion, we have decided to leave a bit later at 5am, so count us out also. Will catch up with you guys out there.

No HAM license here either..yet, certainly not in time for this trip. I can however monitor HAM frequencies, and have both GMRS and CB to share what's being said with other non-ham'ers.

Cool! The first post is being updated with the list. I imagine there will be alot more updates as we get closer...

Absolutely! Towing the Expo trailer so we will be part of the "tow" convoy! Wish we could leave today!! LOL

To be compliant in the US the GMRS radio has to be FCC certified part 95A and the HAM radios are certified part 97 I believe. It's a very short list when it comes to detachable antenna GMRS radios that are actually Part 95a compliant.

Blue Sea ACR with Dual Optima Yellow tops, no issues and much better then the 2 Diehard Platinums I had in there before, re-badged Odyssey or not, those things were crap!

My current radio setup..subject to change of course! Btech GMRS V1 on a ram mount with custom bracket from a guy on Expedition Portal and a Uniden CB on a Quadratec JK mount, and yes full trucker with a gear keeper for the GMRS mic:

In cab setup with GMRS V1 and CB:

Probably not, those 3 new models just came out. I picked up a Btech (Baofeng) GMRS V1 before they came out as it has the repeater functions and can monitor HAM, but now with these new Midlands I will probably trade up at some point. The GMRS V1 is still a good deal in my opinion for those that...

Ok I gotta ask, what's the dome on the teardrop?? Perhaps it's the stealth camping invisibility generator?

Thanks, its a never ending work in progress! Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

I picked up one of these off Amazon a few months back for about $53. I had been looking at the $120 Midland MXT100 (this was before the release of the new models with new features) but wasn't ready to plunk down the cash for one. What drew me to this radio was the fact that it had GMRS...

We're in, and we will be towing a trailer. Please add us to the list. Thanks! Sent from my Nexus 6P using OB Talk mobile app

It's been awhile since I installed mine but I believe there is some fore-aft adjustability in how the rear bar support mounts to the rack, perhaps yours is too far forward? Also, double check the body knobs are adjusted properly to eliminate any side to side movement. I'll check back once you...

Maybe whoever arrives first can post up a location in this thread?

Got mine a couple months back, I think I even got the license within the same day! Crazy for a gov't entity..LOL

FYI - I just noticed in the Expo newsletter that you can only check in to the campsites on Thursday if you have purchased your campsite in advance. This is the blurb from the email: Weekend Passes with Camping– Advance Sales Thinking of buying a Weekend Pass with Camping? Make sure you do so...

I haven't seen anything on a meeting place or potential route as of yet, but I say the more the merrier!
