The mini is really enticing now that the $50 roam package is around. The only thing keeping me back is that I just can’t figure a solid mount for my rig.

interesting, haven’t seen that one yet. Does give me another idea though for the square tube! Thanks man.

If you think you will stick with it, I’d go mobile. More power and capability. HTs are fine if you have repeaters around but the abilities of a 50w mobile rig and a good antenna will really help you out in the long run. Or go the route of “2 is 1 and 1 is none” and get both.

yeah it’s looking like I’ll go that route. Scrape some coating and make simple bracket that is tapped into the cross bar.

2 square bars, no platform and nothing connecting

That is slick!

Anyone have a good antenna mount that would work with an older square style cross member on a Thule roof rack? I have a comet hood lip mount on my HAM setup and was wanting something low pro like the Midland ghost antenna for GMRS side stuff, and far away from the dual band antenna. Not...

If you are unfamiliar with radios in general and want to ease into it to learn, GMRS is perfect. Also consider if you have friends and family who won’t want to get licensed to use ham but are covered under your license or could be covered under their family‘s GMRS license if they get one...

A buddy has a MXT400 in his Jeep and really likes it. Seems like a solid unit. I only have a ham rig in my truck, but I’ve talked to him on a handheld and his radio sounds great.

Yeah I wanted simple for the house as the wife is a HAMbut not super proficient yet. Basic seemed to be better for her. I could later move it into her suv if she wanted.

How do you like that FTM6000? i have a 400 in my truck but was looking at a 6000 for the house. Need to get a pic of my setup tomorrow during daylight.

if you are looking for purely a handheld these look pretty sweet. External mag antenna and a pigtail to take the stress off the antenna jack and you could have a decent system. I started in GMRS and it got me into the HAM world. Daughter is still young so GMRS works for her well out in the...

I was going to buy one but had reservations about letting someone have my money for, then 4-6 months, and not having product in my hand. I emailed them w few months ago asking if they charged the card at time of sale or when it shipped and they confirmed it was at time of sale. I just can't...

Thanks! Saw it just a few ago. Been crazy busy this week and scatterbrained.

Same here! I fell in love with hydroflask last year and pretty much use one of their products daily now. Great products. If OB had a laser engraved bottle, I feel I would be forced to get one.

I think I got the hang of it now,....maybe :smile:

I carry a Kershaw Blur for work (awesome knife for the money) Carry a Benchmade mini barrage or a Benchmade 4300 CLA (amazing knife) In the field a ESSE 4 or a Mora in a custom kydex sheath

Yeah the scorpion is cool but I've wanted a MPX since the first time I saw it. Shooting one, a full auto none the less, made me want one even more.

Ordered a Sig MPX the other day after our rep brought in one and I shot it. Damn cool little gun. I've already got plans to SBR it and it'll probably end up as a gun for my adventures. Very neat little package and a hoot to shoot.

Beautiful scenery!
