I just became a maybe for the trip. Someone cut the catalytic convertor off of my tow rig. I was told it is a 3 week back order for parts. I hate worthless f'in thieves.
I hadn't considered that. Unfortunately, it is being covered by insurance and they already took the truck to a shop. Maybe I can make a call or two. Thanks for the idea.
I had thought about driving the jeep. My wife gets roadsick in long trips in the jeep. Too bouncy. It's not bad in the truck where she can recline and sleep most of the way. I'll work on her.
I wanted to say something about how they should have their hand removed for theft but I think the world would be a better place without the thief.
In under 2 weeks with the back orders I have seen? I have changed to Fox 2.0s, thanks @rasband. I doubt they are tunable, though.It might be easier to work on the Jeep with better tuned shocks.
Figured we would. I’m setup for any of the 5 if needed all using code 223.
I’ll bring my programming stuff just in case I need to change anything or add more options.
I have a gmrs with all the channels programmed, but don't have any privacy codes programmed. Is that necessary? I'm new to this radio stuff.
You'd be able to hear everyone without privacy codes but we wouldn't be able to hear you (they are just a filtering mechanism, so they're not really privacy related at all)
I got the Wouxun KG-935G. It comes pre-programmed for the 22 gmrs channels. Normally, if I am out with a group, we just pick a channel to use, and everyone tunes to that channel. I have never used privacy codes.
You should program in the GMRS channels 16-20 and add the DCS code 223 to them. You'd want these in addition to the original 16-20.
What is your tow rig?I just became a maybe for the trip. Someone cut the catalytic convertor off of my tow rig. I was told it is a 3 week back order for parts. I hate worthless f'in thieves.
I just ordered a programming cable since it looks like custom channels cannot be programmed using the radio itself. Hopefully I get the cable in time.
Here's what was added to mine. I only know how to program the Rugged radios since I had to buy software for both my handhelds and my mobile unit.

That's the one, free and decent enough for my needs so far. But it doesn't support everything. The list is here.
