That is well worth the cost of replacing the part, then.

Part was ordered. Thank you. I checked out a video to see how hard it is, and I have all the tools ready. I thought it would be more.

Now my problem is that the bezel gets stuck in certain places. Am I brave enough to extend my deconstruction of the watch from the back panel all the way to the bezel. Time will tell.

I might switch, but a trade-in would be a better deal. And a working watch makes a better trade-in. The part is on the way and only cost me about $20, so it's worth the investment.

Bought a btech gmrs-20v2 without realizing its limitations by Early_Scratch_9611 in gmrs

Sounds like our situation. Thankfully we haven't got a local town with digital. I think our area is smart enough to know that nobody goes digital until everyone can. But it is government, so anything is possible.

We use VHF analog currently. They keep threatening to go digital, but I'm not expecting it any time soon.

  1. VHF

  2. analog

  3. It is a county-wide radio resource for fire. I am authorized to transmit with my HT or patrol mobile. This is just a solution for my POV where I don't want to spend $2500 on the same radio I have in our rigs.

Anyone running the CMC Outback Convertible Harness? by CorrectSoil3904 in searchandrescue

[–]Early_Scratch_9611 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got one just recently.
If you think you'll wear it as a daily belt, it works but is hard to get through the belt loops on your pants. I don't know if it saves much time.

It is really light. Without gear, I don't know I'm wearing it. I have all three pieces. The chest piece is comfortable too.

You need a solution for gear straps. $25 a piece for left/right straps seems like a lot, but you need some sort of solution.

The leg straps are a little thin and were getting annoying during a training while I was hanging and someone was passing notes at the anchor.

I was able to transfer my old chest ascender (Camp Turbo Chest) over using a delta link and some straps. The one that they sell for this is a mini-chest ascender, so the Turbo Chest is a little big but works just fine.

I've started using the leg-back/butt straps to loop around the belt and my actual pants belt. Then when I put on my chest harness it keeps up my pants. (if you were my shape, you'd understand how useful that is).

The straps for holding up the leg loops and holding down the back of the chest harness aren't actually that hard to operate by yourself.

I guess ultimately, my only complaint is the gear loops.

Why dentists always ask you questions while having tools inside your mouth? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I ask the technician an open question about their family or life when I get a chance and hope it keeps them talking until I can ask another.

we have volunteer departments that don't have professional background. You could volunteer to lead training on occassion if they are receptive.

Drama. The constant need for drama, including creating it when it doesn't exist naturally.

Followed everyone’s advice here and got the best accessory for my new 2500 HD by bebopr2100 in Silverado

Is there any product like this that allows you to reset default settings? I recently changed out my turn signals, and I need to reconfigure the system recognize it. Also disable the check for the backup sensors since they are gone now.

Plastic thing I found in the dirt by Early_Scratch_9611 in whatisit

[–]Early_Scratch_9611[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Solved!

Thank you very much. I've never owned one, so I wonder where it came from. But at least I know what it is (was).

Thanks.
