    Side step suggestions (and yes I understand they provide no protection)

    I was shamed into covering my JF sticker. Love the 2.5 sticker! It would make people ask questions. It just didn’t sound like a 2.5L

    Anyone have any experience with Baofeng BF-F8HP

    Thanks!! It’s all subterranean too. It’s one wall of my private shop. It’s self contained with a 1200w 120 inverter powered by 270ah of lifpo batts and 550 watts of solar. I’m working on a air filtration system right now.

    Matt's Off-Road Recovery Charged With Fraud, Filing False AAA Claims

    Agreed. Does not take much effort to refrain from theft, stealing, fraud, etc. I just don't like being the one calling it, never fails, I stumble on that rock. I would much rather you call it what it is. LOL.

    My dad's epic build (lots of pictures)

    I am with you. With a few exceptions, a Jeep is a Jeep. The Gladiator messed it all up.

    Matt's Off-Road Recovery Charged With Fraud, Filing False AAA Claims

    If you say so, We can call it how you see it. My problem is that I am very far from perfect. I am not the one to be casting stones.

    GMRS or HAM radio?

    The last real “repeater system” I used had a team of direction finders. These guys were ruthless. I loved to here the stories of them finding idiots. They loved the challenge. All old retired guys. I miss the old guys. I took my grandfathers call sign years after he passed. I expected my dad...

    GMRS or HAM radio?

    A trucker buddy of mine from Wisconsin used to run the south often. He would wait till it was quite on CB and use a southern accent and say “the south will rise again”. Then listen to all the hoot and hollering, then in a real Sheboygan accent say “just high enough to kiss a Yankees ass”.

    GMRS or HAM radio?

    That behavior turns the amateur spectrum into basic CB trash. Skip the license if breaking the rules are your intention. Polite, courteous behavior goes a long way with most repeater owners. Whenever I hear a unauthorized tx on my repeaters, I engage and ask their call if they cannot or will...

    GMRS or HAM radio?

    used to be the case with our company and our home networks. Now most of the sites I need/want to visit will not function with all the suppression on. That is when I started noticing the crap/targeted ads.

    Anyone have any experience with Baofeng BF-F8HP

    Would this work for tuning duplexers? I send my duplexers out to be tuned and have had varying luck. Plus, not knowing that the duplexer is truly tuned to my needed freqs, I am kinda lost and at their mercy if I have a problem. if not good for tuning them, can duplexers at least be analyzed?

    GMRS or HAM radio?

    That’s funny. I did a round of 20 bf888s late last year that had the default language in Chinese. Had to watch a bunch of YouTube vids to get to the bottom of it. These were airmailed from China too.

    Anyone have any experience with Baofeng BF-F8HP

    It was primarily the uv5r. But the bf-f8 uses the same firmware and alit if internals. I would say the current radios are not a problem. It comes and goes, like most Chinese manufacturing problems.

    Both and the variations of the uv5r.
