    A high gain antenna and an ap can setup a repeater. Both of which I packed.

    Ahh, I have the wife so mad at me right now, and all my wifi equipment is here to setup a repeater, ap, mesh nose, down link from iss, you name it I packed it. I can't live without Internet. I make sure I have the means.

    Highway speed

    Since our last trip in the truck and bringing fuzzy his deuce we now know we can take 190 from the house here in Zachary to temp tx. I won't get on an interstate now unless I can't avoid it, and it better be 3 lanes at that. My grandparents saw us coming back to Louisiana when they were...

    Highway speed

    You are aware there are commercial vehicles that cannot go 60. They use amber beacons to warn drivers they are going well under the speed limit. Just like tow trucks, safety vehicles, construction equipment, and the list goes on, they use amber beacons to warn the drivers to use caution when...

    Please tell me it was a swift truck, please let it be a swift truck. Even with the convoy lights they act like you aren't there and slam into the back of you. Trust me, I know from experience. Wife is still scared of big rigs.

    939 fuel tank capacity

    When driving on trips I fill it to the top on my 818. If I know it's going to sit before I fill I won't. I know about expansion, but do we forget our tanks have vents for this reason. They knew a soldier wasn't going to stop at the strainer, nope, he was going to over fill it.

    It is fully reflective, that coupled with the Amber flashing lights still gets cars honking and giving you single digit gestures. I've come to realize it doesn't matter what I do, wether being the the far most right lane, driving the shoulder, people will still be people and care only about...

    I forgot about my magnetic sign I got when I got the 818. I knew before hand it wouldn't do interstate speeds so I prepared.

    KE5EUA's 818 Build

    Little video of what I got done this past week. The reason for the shut off valve on the primer line is because the pump will allow flow with the pump off and that port will build pressure on it's own so I didn't want to constantly have fuel dumped into the intake. If I need the primer in the...

    KE5EUA's 818 Build

    Highway speed

    Very sad indeed. Reminds me of the HET trip. Shivers go down my spine when I think of how the outcome could have been. When I was on that little stretch between El Paso and the next city the speed limit jumped to 85. Doing 45 in a 85 is nerve racking. Had the whoopee light on the entire trip...

    I'm not seeing any room for the siren. I got the truck running and purring like a kitten. Well a kitten with a little instinctive. I might be a day late, but I should be there, crossing my fingers. Wife willing, lol

    Also an air raid siren that has to make it. I finished up my air supply for my air hose and cleaned up the blow off valve then took the black box off. Opened it up and I have the new style box. Tried to activate the relays manually but nothing was gapping so I got out the fluke and I wasn't...
