I'm sure less limited will pick up another rig he finds for a good deal before long. I miss my xj but want a jku at some point in the next few years. Wish jeep actually gave good deals on financing on them. I understand they are popular enough to not need incentives to get people to buy them though.

I must be getting old...waking up at 2:30am and sitting out in the cold hurt a lot more today than usual. Doesn't mean I wont be back out again tomorrow.

Also I miss having my own garage

We are in KC for the Chiefs game today, stayed the night in a hotel and Case has been grinding his teeth all night in his sleep, I don't think Camille or I have slept 30 minutes all night. I considered sleeping on the couch in the lobby. Note to self, get a seperate room suite from here on out.

We always do a suite when traveling w son.....hotel sex isn't any fun if kids are in the room.

We usually do, but our friends booked the room this time. We should have put all the kids in one room n adults in another.........and played, "whoops, that's not my wife" later on

During the ride at Redbird, I was loaned a very small hand held radio that was in contact with all others. Can anyone provide details about it? Where to buy, What to ask for, and any other info about owning one for my self. Thanks in advance

This is the one I bought. I was recommended to upgrade to the larger antenna for a bit better range. Don't know if it made a diff I've never had a problem.

One downfall of mine, it's rechargeable swapping batteries on the trail would be easier.

Got it custom programmed with the secret freqs by our ninja radio master. These have power levels available on these units that's if used require a ham license. If I understand this all correctly.

I'm sure he will chime in here and give you a good explanation of it all.

FWIW I used my Baofeng at the Crawl for 4 days and left it in the Jeep until Redbird and it still had full battery. It's on the same charging schedule as my Jeep oil changes; once a year

Any FRS radio will work, available pretty much anywhere. You don't have to go full out with the Baofeng unless you want to. The cheap Cobra/Midlands that the chapter gave out a couple years ago work just fine; the main benefit of the more expensive ones is longer range.

What they said. The radio that I loaned you was an FRS.

House in ny is rented! Wound up taking $100 less per month but still making $150+ more than the mortgage per month after paying the property manager so that's a win in my book.

As for the fireplace, we wound up changing the lease to say that use was prohibited unless we were provided with proof of renter's insurance and a receipt from a chimney cleaner (hasn't been swept for 2 years). I feel like that's pretty fair. Hopefully it will at least encourage them to get renters insurance. $10-15 a month goes a long ways

My Baofeng is still charged from 2 days at WF and 2 days at redbird. Love that thing and i have the 12v adapter for it too.


Congrats Craig, 2 mortgages cant be fun.

technically the booooaaaaafang radios should not be used on the FRS frequencies because the FCC says no removable antenna and limits the ERP to less than a watt IIRC.

no one is really going to care.

if you really want to be legit send the FCC $20 and get a GMRS family license. it covers everyone in your family to use the radio on GMRS frequencies, which are shared with some FRS frequencies.

You are supposed to declare the frequency pair you are going to use on GMRS. Your license then covers only operations on that pair. Operations that require licensing outside that pair are technically illegal. Operations on the FRS only frequencies still require usage of FRS approved equipment to be legal even if the operator holds another license class. Are there going to be FCC agents waiting to nab you the first time you don't follow the exact rules,no. The biggest driver in illegal operation complaints is being an asshole. Don't act like one and if you actually got reported you would get a slap letter at worst. Without spending a day going down the enforcement action rabbit hole, there may be a dozen enforcement actions in the last couple years total and all of them involved a concerted effort by the offender to be an ass.
