My wife had it done a couple years ago. She was so blind without glasses or contacts she couldn’t read the words on road signs or even make out who I was sitting right next to her. She now has 20/30 and can read the scores scrolling on espn from across the room.

Finally had a decent day off of work to actually clean the truck up. It had an inch of dirt on it

I ordered the 8ft mic extension and should arrive this evening. And yeah,Dstar is cool but it’ll only work if the internet is still active at the repeater you’re using it on. Some argue Dstar isn’t “real radio”. It kind of is and it kind of isn’t. Nonetheless, still another neat mode of...

I haven’t been to anywhere near that many, but I have been to a few. Going to see Shinedown this year. Saw them do an acoustic set list a few years ago. Other than that, I’ve seen theory of a deadman, hinder, crossfade, in this moment, 38 special, Aaron Lewis, Justin Timberlake (that was with...

Backroader I just grew up all my life around it. Chances are if it wasn’t for my dad I wouldn’t even know about it either. As far as understanding it, sometimes I don’t either lol. But I bet you use a radio every day and you don’t even realize it. Think of your cellphone as a radio. That...

I can’t recommend the “best” ht, but I stick with the name brands. Icom, yaesu, kenwood and so on. Main thing is, output power and antenna used. You can talk across the county with a handheld at the right time of day (or night) using satellites. That’s a whole different ballgame though as you...

Honestly, I think just about everyone slacks off with it at some point. My dad has been licensed since 1980 and he took a 5-10 year break. I am guilty of taking a break as well. It is a fun hobby though. Especially if you like to talk a lot lol

Nah man, a lot of folks these days have no idea about it. Some think it’s CB radio, others think your some kind of police officer lol. I encourage everyone to research it and study up for a license. It’s pretty easy to get licensed to operate. And you’re not just limited to communicating...

We are not talking about stereos. We are talking amateur or “ham” radio for short. It is a hobby as well as a means of communication in disaster or emergency situations when a cell phone could potentially not work. I have been licensed since 2004 and we had a tornado come through in 2011 and...

Mike, it is D-Star and I used the same 3M double sided adhesive foam like tape that I used for the yaesu unit I had. That stuff is super sticky and very thin but with a little force you can get it unstuck and it not leave behind any goo. No more than those little faceplates weigh it really works...

Not sure if they’re like the OR wheels, but I just grabbed mine and pulled. They came right off

I pulled out the 7900 today and swapped it with an Icom 4100. Put the face on the top of the dash so the gps would lock good. Seems like a good little rig. The radio was a complete unplug and plug into the wiring under the seat I had from the yaesu aside from the separation cable which the 4100...

Funny thing is...... this is absolutely true as I am currently playing right now and there was a Valentine’s Day update haha

Yes it’s lip mounted on the hood. It allows pivot left to right as well as front to back so it can be mounted on a horizontal or vertical lip while maintaining a vertical antenna.

Hope this helps, Mike. I also included a pic of the comet 2m/70cm antenna with the hinge mount. Great antenna and it doesn’t look tacky in my opinion. 73!

There is a rubber grommet on the passenger side if you peel the carpet back that you can poke a small hole through to run positive and negative ground. If you’re wanting to do the separation kit, it will be a much cleaner and easier install. There is a slit in the carpet under the seat that I...
