Aww I miss understood. I thought we were looking for a vhf cb combo.

How is that going to transmit FM? I could see this maybe working with one or the other but the even answers in the comment sthey don't know if it will work with ham which means they don't know if it's is VHF UHF compatible. I'm sure it works on receive fine but transmit is the issue.

Good for 50 watts and has incredibly clear signal. This is not necessary for trail coms. But on this setup I have had clear coms with another similar radio 56 miles away on low power or 10 watts. It was straight across desert and the other guy was slightly elevated when we tested it. Didn't...

Pretty sure that's not a feasible build at least in a cost effective way. CB antennas are heavy and thick. The sheet metal in this area is thin. Don't forget that once you jump to a mounted radio you are past skirting the line on a liscense. The power of mobile radios exceeds the power level of...

My 50 qaurt dometic is about the same size at my 70quart Coleman. The compressor eats up about that much space but never having to worry about ice is nice. I'm headed to King of the Hammers in a couple days and I'll be there without any trips off for 9 days. I have my big 80 quart yeti knock...

Bonus info if you want it. Last bit info to add to this thread is what some refer to as privacy tones. On the bubble pack FRS radios these are marketed as additional channels but they are not real channels. What they are is a tone that's transmitted with your voice. In the Baofeng radios...

Expert Voice. I find much better prices on there than govx

That thing is tiny.

Here is a good pic of the JeepUniq mount from earlier. I used one of these in my JK wand it held the radio tight for SAR and Race use so it'll easily work for normal off-road stuff. They also have ball mount options for those of you who are running things like 67 designs or CMM ball mounts.

It's actually based off the frequencies you use. If it's work related that usually falls under the employer having a liscense for that frequency. Which legally means it should be a part 90 certified radio but that's another one of those gray areas. If you want pm me the frequency and what...

So a note on programming. Let's make this super simple. https://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/Home Chirp is the go to for most radios. Some come with a bundled software but it's usually cumbersome. Chirp supports copy paste and has the ability to change every setting in the system...

Ha. That was a stress ball I got at a convention. Tossed it on the dash and JT never left. People asked why I had a rubber chicken never had a good story so I would just wink and let it go.

Technically they are the same radio. The uv82hp is what I have. Actually mine is a gt5tp same radio different case. What differs is the programming. GMRS and FRS use the same frequencies and are easily programmed into any of these handhelds it's just the gmrsv1 is turn key where the others...

Walkie-Talkie is FRS

No the technology is too different to share equipment. As far as antennas and cables they are much more a kin to your fm radio. If you look at my Jeep it kind of looks like the same antenna is on both sides. Some guys even just replace their factory antenna with one. To get started I wouldn't...

Dealer can do it. Go pay them a fee. But honestly the options the tazer has is worth the price.

Springs have very little to do with tow capacity. The difference between the Rubi and MaxTow is primarily in tire size. Equipment wise for towing is the only real difference between the MaxTow and Rubicons. As far as springs go they are very different and that's why one has a higher payload...

Question for ya. I'm debating doing John bull and couple others near big bear between the races at King of the hammers. Have you done these and is it day trip feasible if so? I'm thinking Feb 3rd or 4th depending on how many cars we brake pre running

I heard bulkier, more intrusive, cumbersome and underperforming. But a good GMRS FRS radio is very simple to use. Think of it as those bubble pack radios that every outdoor store trys to sell. Same frequencys just more power on GMRS. You can make it more complicated if you want to but it's...

I have found I can receive the CB channels on my radio but not transmit. The freq are pretty easy to find and depending on the radio can be input using chirp. I set them to being unable to transmit to save the radio from damage. I've converted a few old diehards by just doing a simple coms...
