    so yes. I've actually never used the feature on my FTM-400... Found a decent article to that might help others here understand what we're talking about: Crossband Repeater Operation - https://www.qsl.net/wb3gck/cbr.htm

    @MountNGoat I run a FTM-400DR as well. Great radio. I used the C4FM only a bit as C4FM repeaters are few and far between. There use to be an experimental one in the Reno area but seems SNARS decided to go with DMR instead. Their current repeater page doesn't list any C4FM repeaters. Here a link...

    Events/Trails June 16-20 Club Campout: Multi-Night Thru Black Rock Desert (No Playa!)

    If I sort out a safe way to carry 5-10 gals of gas on the rig, I might be game. FJ Cruisers only have a 19 gal tank and suck gas pretty fast. I really need to install a scanguage or equivalent and do some testing to get a better handle on my range. I do have an offroad trailer I could drag that...

    I use Gaia as well. The key reason I use the Garmin apps is that Garmin tracking and messaging is tied into them... so by using it, I have a better idea of what my wife will see when she checks up on me. :-)

    I have two dual transceiver radios in my rig, one mobile, one handy. Typically the mobile primary radio scans my presets, which include both the 2m and 70cm national call frequencies. The secondary I dedicate to APRS. My handy is typically off. It's primary is set to national call, and the...

    Cot tents

    As I've gotten older, I've started sleeping more and more on cots while camping... either with no tent when just catching a quick sleep or in a large multi-person tent. Last year my tent got slammed by a down burst... so I'm faced with either buying a new pole set or buying a new tent. I am...

    Just a note, Knott Creek Reservoir fishing season opens the 2nd Saturday of June. So you'll be going through their opening week. Last year it was very crowded. This year, due to a fish die off at the end of the last summer, it might be less crowded. But the fishing is likely to be quite off...

    I got sucked into too much work this winter, especially given I'm suppose to be semi-retired. But now I'm back on my non-winter schedule... minimal work (~1-2 days a week). I've got some fun trips in the works for this summer. I'll post up here and there about these as I get things sorted...

    As Rusty notes, the FCC allocates the frequency ranges available for amateur use. However, beyond that, there are "band plans" which are established by the amateur community (namely the ARRL and its chapters) and these should be respected. In certain cases, going against the "band plan" can get...

    AFAIK, the FCC generally restricts radio products to a single license category... so you have commercial radios for commercial frequencies, amateur radios for amateur frequences, etc.. However, as some commercial frequencies are adjacent to amateur frequencies, a manufacturer can design one...

    BASS CAMP RUN WITH CAMPING

    Was a nice run yesterday... despite a few missteps on my part (got high centered, got badly sideways). I only went for the day, drove out solo (uneventful).
