6 meters: How about 50.5 MHz FM for the VRC-12 compatibles? It avoids repeaters and I doubt we'll be interfering with the pacific DX window!!

How about channel 17 once you exit the super slab? The typical CB usually has about a 4-5 mile range, depending. Should use AM, since most people will have that? The only thing against 19 is that there are so many highway and high power users on it that the background is noisier making it...

Can I join the advance party?

Just the M35A2, M105 trailer, with ATV. Have a diesel genset onboard but would prefer to pay for an RV hookup, as the set is as noisy as all getout for those outside the shelter! BTW - pay heed to a possible RV power situation: Do we know what kind of outlets they have? It could be "house...

Considering the trucks get deep into the mud, how do you clean them afterwards? What about mud/water getting into the batteries, etc?

so many radios and so little time.. If you are capable of more than one answer, please pick your preference for the poll, and list your capabilities in a post. If we can narrow it down and sort of agree where in the aether to meet, it'll be more fun. I didnt list FRS/GMRS due to the very...

My post-turbo is closer to the turbo outlet, about 2" from the turbo. If that makes it read a bit higher, so much the safety factor. If the turbo ever comes off for any reason, I'll move it to before the turbo. I back off the fuel if the needle hits 900.

Keep it!

JsonS, was that gear set for the transmission? I'd like to speak to the possibilites. I am undoubtedly one of the laziest people here and also have a frugal streak, so I can probably suggest the easiest way to accomplish an objective. I'd present my choices in order of preference: Most M35...

RE: Ok then... I really don't want to stack things vertically. Probably the best solution is to 'fix' the lighting load, and whatever else is messing with the power factor, and go forward with that. The 6000 watt generator is big enough. I'm going to go do some reading because I am sure some...

also if you call the Art Bloom guy that sells them, he will help you out.

depends on how hard i mash.. maybe 4"?

I've seen one National Guard truck that had a cargo bows raised about 1FT higher than normal, and a "tool shed" built inside, and the canvas covering it with some space at the sides. Did not get a good look at it but it was big enough to walk around in. The holy grail is of course a...

For $350 it should be in working condition. I never heard anything bad about PVT jarhead. i only hear good things so far. that shipping seems very reasonable, the radio weighs about 60LBs. You got a mount for it?

RE: Why not... I have to admit I never thought of that. IMHO the load would be too high. The generator alone probably weights 500-600Lbs. and the box with frame etc is going to be about 1200LBs. I think it would be too dangerous for me to handle alone and to tow, prone to tipping. I like the...

RE: Re: enclosing the genset Hi Tom, I'm not making it complicated on purpose, this is troubleshooting. The problem itself is very complicated. I hope that by documenting this and explaining what I am doing, someone else facing funny generator issues could be helped. Sure most people won't...

I can't say I am surprised - good going!

Just counting the days.. So far, is there clearance for an advance party arriving onsite Friday? I scheduled thursday and friday off.

Honestly, I'd keep the gasser since it probably turns better RPMs than a diesel would, and the truck is smaller than usual so should have enough power? Give it a chance, you might get attached to it.
