Mobile Ham Setup Planning (2M/70cm)

[streetglideok]

Survived the late night trip to kingsoupers. Was like a trip to walmart, with the freaks and geeks,lol. Take a look at echolink, maybe download it, its free. Only thing you have to do is get registered with them. Only hams are allowed in. Will have to work on it this week, and see how well my stuff works with it. If I can get on, I'll let you know, so you can listen for some moron to sign in to that repeater lol

Just in case anyone else likes to listen in on stuff like me.

I wouldn't mind buying one off ya when the time comes.

Let me know when your ready, I bought 30 of them way back when Santafe Distributing had them in bulk so they only cost me 18 each shipped. I made plenty off the others, you can just have one.

I can come pick one up one weekend and donate a delicious beverage?

Okay so I finished inputting practically all the repeaters within 100 miles of my zip (minus the closed and private ones). There is so much to listen to!

These Linked Repeater Nets are fun to listen to the accents of the people all over. Also very educational as to learn how a net is controlled and how it flows.

You would be amazed how many hams, even with years under their belt, don't grasp how a net works.

Very similar to some gun owners who leave their trash at public shooting areas. They don't care. Just the way it is.

Yeah no matter how many times people hear about good ettiquette, some will just never get it.

Put the rig runner in.

OMGosh I will never use any other electrical connection again, these are AWESOME!

I just watched a couple You Tube videos and got my connections right the first try! The jumper I made from the Rigrunner to the Kenwood "T" blade connector I even soldered and crimped. This way I didn't have to snip the wires on the Radio side. I got a "Tri-crimper" made things very easy.

Nice. Will have to look into those. Wife asked me about Christmas and my birthday today(they fall within 6 days of each other). Boy that was a mistake. Mentioned an all mode radio, HF radio and a new dual bander or quad band 8900,hehe

I am finding that I want to spend more time in the car listening to the ham waves. Perhaps I need a *gasp* radio in the house.

Ohh, I heard you can swtch the head units of the TM-710, and the 71? Anyone have experience with that?
