Pro Tip: always check for the Adam’s Apple.

I don’t turn on Roger or Susan, I find they/them annoying.

My Roger beep identifies as Susan, so I don’t turn it on.

I’m not sure if it’s a lack of common sense or too many engineers. [emoji23]

……or you could simply ignore the “rule” and avoid giving your callsign during those drives. Will anyone really care? No. Also, I seriously doubt that people are out there listing to callsigns, then looking them all up, calling other criminals in that area and coordinating break ins. Not to mention, they have no way of knowing if someone else is at the location. Sorry, but it seems like worry for no practical reason. I do suggest that you always wear a cup to protect your junk.

Some things to consider with your Subaru: Antenna - Consider using a ditch light hood bracket, or lip mount, to install an antenna on the hood. While not necessarily the ideal location, it can work just fine. A benefit is easy cable run into the cabin. Radio - A typical 50w mobile might a challenge to mount in the front area. You have some options: - A remote faceplate radio where you can mount the main radio under a seat or in the cargo area, using an extension to bring display to dash area. - An all in one unit, like the Midland MTX575, where the radio is remote and all you need is the mic to control everything. There are other brands too. - A 20-30w radio that has a smaller footprint. For display panel mounting, consider something like a Pro-Clip vehicle specific mount or even a RAM mount. You can easily mount a radio face/control head using easily available pieces.

Hey, I also use to keep in contact with your wife! [emoji1787]

Around here there seems to be several folks who “kind of” know each other and a smaller group who are regular friends. On the local long-reach repeater I often hear people give their callsign, followed by “monitoring”. I think they are letting others know they’re around, so the folks they know can call them up on the radio. I get why, but also think it sounds kinda goofy to me, almost like cops going in service, which they clearly aren’t.

I’m thinking the answer to that question and the original one is the same, contact RT Systems and ask them.

As I recall it’s tied to your email / account. You can download either.

I have handles. Love handles.

Oops!!! Self-edit, gonna steer clear of politics. [emoji1787]
