    APRS to SMS Text

    Thanks for this. I didn't know that the old system was no more. I'm glad I learned before I tried to use it. Use this like SMSGte or is it different?

    Field Comms

    Why not get your license? If you find a web page that creates tests out of the pool of questions, you can keep taking the tests until you consistently pass. It takes about a weekend. Then you can join in on different nets such as the Overland Ham Radio Net.

    Cross-country trip planning software

    I've done this with Google maps. I figure out how many hours or miles I want to be on the road and then search for sleeping locations near my proposed end.

    Newbie comms questions (HAM/GMRS/APRS)

    My local truck stop CB shop went out of business a few years ago. This is probably the case across the country.

    Pontiac Aztek "The Original Overlander?"

    I will never forgive GM for killing Saab.

    GMRS

    You should look into getting the Midland 6dB antenna. I live about 3 miles from work and often have my 275 scanning as I'm driving and can often hear a conversation on simplex pretty much the whole way home.

    Clean water tank refill

    Are we talking about the U.S.? If so, most places on municipal water should be safe. If you don't want bad taste due to hoses get an RV water hose. A Camco water filter for RVs has a 20 micron filter to get rid of sediment and chlorine. Lots of truck stops on interstates have areas for RVs...

    Comms on the road?

    I used to have a CB in my Jeep. The only time I heard anything was when I drove by a truck stop that had an automated message and sometimes a crazy person with a high powered station that took over what ever channel he was on. I now have a ham radio in my truck. I have two states' worth of...

    I've also seen people use these: I can't remember where I saw it but someone did a write up about adding these to their roof rack. If you're like me and Amazon links don't show up I posted a link to Lumax LX-1188 Silver 6.00" x 6.50" x 1.375" Shovel Bracket

    Mounting items to cargo basket?

    I didn't know that. I'll have to check into that before I actually purchase some.

    Fishing Licensing

    The only problem is that out of state licenses are much more expensive than in state ones. If you can get them online it would be a money saver since you could buy one when you actually needed it instead of buying one when you drive by a Walmart and then end up not using it.
