I have a chainsaw but It does not work right but I will bring my axe in case my radio's are having trouble switching over but all four of mine can talk to another

Hey @TerryD that post looks familiar

Yeah, :grin: Coming down to zero hour now and I just wanted to double check. I didn't want to miss anyone and us leave without them.

Also I was just reading through the thread and realized that the one person had one post and then never posted again.

As for repeaters, I'll try to program them in tomorrow. I'll probably have my big 5/8w antenna on till we hit the trail so I should be able to hit it a good ways out. What's everyone's callsign that has one?

I'll also be monitoring 146.460 once I get close.

I'll be on my mobile 2m until we get there. Just keeping the short and stubby on the Baofeng.

It looks like there's two repeaters that'll be quasi-decent.

• New Market - KQ4Z 146.625 -0.6 PL 107.2
• Front Royal - K4QJZ 145.210 -0.6 PL 141.3

There's one more but it's on the other side of the ridgeline, so we probably wouldn't get good reception. The New Market repeater is going to be the best reception. I'll be monitoring that and the Front Royal one once I get in range, coming from the north though.

One word of caution on the rear diff breather: the adapter I got is not an exact thread match for the cap that comes out. It's pretty derned close though. I forced mine in and it's been bugging me ever since. I'm going to be retapping the threads one it today to the correct thread. There is apparently an adapter that is the perfect fit though....and remember to use some thread tape.

Oh yea...also, I do not have a chainsaw. The best I can do is my backpacker folding saw. It's really fairly useless for anything bigger than a leg though.

But works great on legs though?!?

On limbs the size of legs? That doesn’t really help either. I imagine it would work great on legs. Honestly, it’s never occurred to me to try.

Well, you only get two chances, so make them good tries.... :grin:

Who said they had to be my legs.... >

Is it ok to bring the dog not sure how rough the trails are

Yea. The trip is much closer than I thought. I also think it is really important to get an accurate head count. So that we know who to wait on.

Thanks for the HAM info. Now if I can program the radio....

Also: ya'll are making me nervous now, probably going to put some right-stuff on the breather and tighten it more.

Depends on your pupper. Mine gets car sick, doesn't like long drives, and definatley doesn't like to get tossed around. She will be staying home

My dog on the other hand does great traveling and has been on much rougher trails. She'll probably be tagging along if it's not too muddy.

Is "PL" a "subaudible tone", or "CTCSS"?

Thanks,

Subaudible tone

I might take him I might not

Hey guys I made some maps in GaiaGPS of the trails were doing. Hopefully they're helpful. I noticed the conversion to PDF made them a little blurry though but the info is still there.

I can't see the picture of the trails

That's odd. Do you have Adobe PDF viewer or Foxit PDF Reader? Both show correctly for me.

Edit: I think I know the issue. Your post count is 9 and I think you have to be 10 or 15 posts to see attachments.
