Anytime Tim  :)

Hello Luck,

Maybe you could post what HIPPA actually is, I have no idea, and guessing some hospital/patient privacy thing...

Gil.

Right, see my article on the antenna board. I got an air variable capacitor for $65. The vacuum ones are more like $200...

Gil.

I was about 21yo there. That was my car for a while..

Gil.

After 11.. Text me before, we'll try..

Gil.

Also, see if you can hit the Verna repeater 145.430, 100Hz PL tone. You might have to climb on your roof for that one  ;)

Gil.

Tim, try to call me on the 146.640 repeater. No tone.

One good thing about the Land Rovers is that the body doesn't rust. I also like the old Toyota Land Cruiser. I used to own one but had to sell it before finishing the project. The Unimog is also a great truck. The FJ-40 though is probably the toughest for the money. The one in the photo below I got for $1500, and it ran! I should have kept it...

Gil.

Yes, performance and features, that's what I wondered...

Gil.

That's what I'd like to get!

QuoteThey're about 2x a Baofeng lately from what I see.

Could you please elaborate on that? Thanks.

Gil.

About mobility.. It isn't something I plan. If I can stay put, I would. I want to be mobile in case I have to move...

Gil.

Thanks guys for your advise...

Yours doesn't have the built-in power supply? Mine plugs in directly in 110.. The only problem with it are the power switch that sometimes stops working (I leave it on and plug/unplug) and the RF gain button that seems to do nothing.. Otherwise, no sticky areas. That's probably the encoder being dirty. Easy to fix I'd expect. I really like the 271A because I didn't have to spend extra money for a tone board.. The 25W output is also a plus, compared with it's predecessors 10W.

QuoteI miss cobblers in a small side-street storefront

Yep, nothing like that left here either. It will have to be the Internet. I'm not even sure of my shoe size. That's how often I buy shoes...

Quotethere is a world of difference between trail walking -v- humping a ruck when your life depends upon it

I thought as much... The military can't afford to have armies immobilized because of shoe problems, so I figured if they like a boot, there has to be something to it... I wouldn't think the same for all their equipment, but boots, certainly...
