You mean, I just can’t stick a coat hanger on my radio and call it good?!?! Whatayatakingbout??
Yeah, physics hasn’t changed in a few billion years.
Sorry, I’m confused by the:
If you have already have a 3db and a 6db, use the 3db for daily use and whip out the 6db for the rare occasion you need to reach out, preferably stationary. If this is the case and you’re looking at a 7.5db, I don’t believe the extra 1.5db would be noticeable in the...
If the Ghost antenna is regularly hitting the repeaters you use, I’d stick with the Ghost. All around less intrusive when dealing with overhead branches, drive throughs, etc.
I tend to go with the higher gain for a base station/stationary use.
That being said, if they both use the same base (I...
I love a good road trip and anything that takes the stress off that trip makes it that much more enjoyable.
*If* you have the funds available, think about how much stress and “what ifs” would be reduced having someone else transport the truck.
While I do not have that particular model, I have the Thinkware F200 Pro w/ rear camera, installed by the dealer when new.
It’s been nothing but trouble. I’ve had issues downloading the files. Sometimes it records, sometimes it doesn’t. I believe it’s heat related and/or the OBDII interface...
I was pleasantly surprised to find that the Rangers fog lights are “real” fog lights. In that, you can have the fog lights on with the headlights off.
Those are great and all, and I have a couple myself.
But, you still have to get the clamp on the battery, be it cables or starter pack.
You might think it not a big deal, but I once pulled out my starter pack to jump a car in a parking lot. The clamps simply would not fit on the battery or any...
So, that’s two interested that has contacted him.
Maybe if we had a few more interested…I’d hope to change his mind.
I even asked for any CAD files or drawings he had so I could have my local shop make one.
I am also looking for a mount. Please post what you find. I don't want the $300-$500 Bullet Proof mount-price is insane and I don’t want NMO.
The Larson mount comes close to what I’m looking for, but what I really want is:
The guy selling them was on Etsy, but has stopped making them. I...
Desperately looking for a 3rd Brake Light antenna mount for an N type HAM radio antenna.
I don’t want a fender/hood/tailgate/bed mount. I’ll not be drilling any holes in my truck. And I will not spend $300+ for a billet aluminum NMO mount.
What fits the bill perfectly is pictured below. The...
I have the 2 inch and 4 inch versions of that antenna.
If you live in an RF rich environment yes, they “are as good as stock”.
If you live along the RF fringe areas no, they are not as good as stock. Sorry folks, that’s just how RF and antennas work.
I’m in a FM fringe area and with the stock...
I had something similar happen to me about 2 weeks ago as the OP.
I could have sworn it was a red lamp between the compass and the outside temp.
I was in traffic, ACC on, going about 40mph. I just happen to glance down, and as soon as I noticed it, it went away. I couldn’t make out what it...
If at first you’re focusing on a UHF/VHF (2m/70cm) Ham radio, and you used your GMRS radio on a repeater, you’re well ahead of the game. It’s the same concept. Transmit Freq/Receive Freq and the correct tone(s) for the repeater.
If you’ve used GMRS only in simplex, you’ll have to understand how...
