Hello Mike, welcome from OKCish...

On the weeks where my kids aren't with me it would be cutting it close for me, I am logged into teams all day but not actively using it for 5hours a day however my work phone is VOIP and I download/upload files. I would say get it, try it for a week and if it doesn't work return in within the...

Welcome from central Oklahoma. The Ouachita National Forest isn't too far of a drive and a common place to explore.

Agreed, and they just joined today.

Welcome from Oklahoma. Visit the Communications section and post up if you have any questions. You are also welcome to message me if you need help in your amateur radio journey. If you are on Facebook there is also a Texas Off Road Amateur Radio club, check them out.

As of 8/22/2024 Black Bear Pass is closed for the season.

Click the SMS in @TroutRunner 's original post and it should take you to the new process.

I would be surprised if they monitored ham radio, however with an unlocked ham radio you could broadcast on the Park Service VHF frequencies in an emergency.

What just curious if the APRS overlay was shelved or did I miss it's release? Thank you.

This net is put on by the Texas Off Road Amateur Radio Club (KF5TOR) using the W5FC D-star repeater (node A). Net begins at 8:30pm central time every Wednesday as long as they have net controls. They would certainly like to have more check ins and I know quite a few here enjoyed the old OB net...

Ham>GMRS>CB I run them all but that is my list in order of preference and capability. https://www.overlandbound.com/forums/threads/us-comms-an-introduction-to-your-communication-options.32786/

Welcome from a misplaced Texan. :laughing: Good looking Tacoma.

Hopefully some of the other handheld radio manufacturers will do like TidRadio did with their H3 and H8 and put bluetooth programming capabilities but until then and for those older chinese handheld radios check out the TidRadio BL-1 bluetooth dongle. Paired with the ODMaster app you can program...

Don't know if this will help you at all.. https://www.overlandbound.com/forums/threads/us-comms-an-introduction-to-your-communication-options.32786/

Couldn't pass up some DX during Field Day, France, Brazil, Finland, Russia, Bulgaria, Serbia and will throw Hawaii (x3) in there as well. Most of that was on 15m.

That's very generous of you. Wish I was closer. A local club may appreciate a donation.

Another year, another field day. This year I will be working so I will operate for a handful of hours after work. Find a club and get on the air or set up your own and make some contacts.

What antenna are you using? Did you hook up an analyzer and check the antenna?

That is my understanding, not for everyone using GPS satellite devices but amateur radio operators that also use such devices. I do not know if it will be ported to RF or if it will be internet only.

Would you be interested in such a feature or think it would be beneficial to the overland community? If you are on Facebook join the APRS users group and see a recent post by Michael Phelps. He has worked to resurrect the SMS messaging capability to APRS and is willing to work with satellite GPS...
