Yea, go for it. I know someone that placed their Twin lead j-pole hanging in a tree without the pvc cover..

yup,,

if you have room, The newer Ram Trucks 2018 up do, i'd go with a Breedlove mount. You will pretty much have to remove your headliner to do a good mount job and thats the hardest part. Breedlove mounts are built like a tank and will not fail. Do your homework, not every NMO mount is equal, a lot are junk.. Here is a good read. https://www.hamradio.me/antennas/nmo-mobile-antenna-mount-options.html https://breedlovemounts.com/store/ols/products/nmo-roof-mount

not what i was referring too. and i agree with what you said. . I'm talking about the so called 'clubs' forming practically everywhere creating linked repeater networks.. most if not all are identifying themselves as 'clubs'

you mean "any other HAM Club"... GMRS is not meant for 'clubs'

you wont be dissatisfied with a Hytera. If you end up with one and you need CPS or the Wideband.. Send me a ping.. I can help.

i have two. My first HP682 bought at Atlantic Radio last Christmas for $525. (christmas sale) Last July I picked one up on Ebay for $375. it was a demo, still had the protective film and looked new when it got it. Both are fantastic radios.. Atlantic gave me the CPS and the Wide Band Lic free with the purchase. Programing is a lot easier than Motorola. I also picked up an HM782 from the same Ebay seller (used) $400. That radio also was a demo and had the protective film.. Both work great in DMR as well.. If you are interested, keep your eyes on Ebay, they come up used as Demo about mid year..

Unlikely.. The 'hoards' can't set up repeaters on CB and make money at it

I till have my Galaxy and every once in awhile and most recently i've broke out the 'ole beauty' in my truck and had some fun taking across the country.. Skip is coming back and its only going to get better and better. Don't be surprised when CB makes a big come back.. It won't kill GMRS but will be a fun supplement.

I'm really not a Baofang fan but do own a couple UV-13 Pro's and pretty impressed with it... My GoTo radio is a Hytera HP682 but when i'm out roughing it and don't want to sacrifice my Hytera, i grab my UV-13.. The UV13 is pretty comparable to xtmt&receive quality to the Hytera. Of course the 682 is cleaner on the Analyzer but not by much.. If it wasn't for all the programing options and ease of programing i get with my HP682 the UV-13 would be my goto. The two UV-13's i picked up on Amazon were open and ready..

considering that more and more radios are capable of programing zones and various channels,, it could be very easy to occupy all those channels, especially considering what Marc stated..

Randy is waiting,, eager and willing

i would google "how to direction find with a yagi" They are very effective in pin pointing locations.. You may need an attenuator if you encounter an apartment complex.. You can build one very quickly, google that too.. You'll find it..
