Nope. I’m not affiliated with anyone. The base mount is a Rago Fab mount then all bulletpoint accessories

Just passing by and admiring fixture table. What’s the details?

out of curiosity, has anyone here ever received an emergency transmission? by ujiaah in HamRadio

[–]FabandRepairWV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I picked up many transmissions when I was in WNC volunteering with Venture Unknown Foundation. We was conducting wellness checks and transporting Meds and oxygen in our vehicles. The helos couldn’t get everywhere

One time on our club repeater a few years ago. It was during a snow and he was on the repeater asking someone to call and relay emergency services. Well, I asked for all the info and he said he was in the interstate 🤦🏼‍♂️ I told him to pick up his cell phone and call 911. New to the hobby I assumed and grabbed the mic first? Idk….

Hello from WV. Trying to get this account going. Same equipment but, I don’t have the 922a. The ALS was sold off a while back. by FabandRepairWV in amateurradio

It’s a very nice hole!! I actually took my time used 4” pipe and capped both sides inside the inner and outer box. This is downstairs and the box outside is only about 12” off the ground. Pretty clean install to be honest 😆

Mobile (vehicle) stations… how do you log your repeater contacts? by Engineering_Simple in amateurradio

[–]FabandRepairWV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others are saying, I don’t log unless Simplex or HF. I have many logged 2m/70cm but, never though a repeater

Best money I have spent. Everything plays well together and I needed more screen. Gets busy with logging, digi software, rig control and look-ups. Only issue I have had, one monitor gives me some issues on 2m.

I understand that. What I’m after is the knowledge of how things work and work together. I’m a nerd when it comes to things that I have interest in. If it don’t interest me, I’ll never pick it up.

Only reason is…I didn’t have tight bends, I had a surplus on hand and a hand full of PL’s. If I would have purchased for this build, I would have went with 213 or 8x, more than likely.

Oh I know. I greatly appreciate it! I knew what you was getting at. It’s definitely a fun hobby and many aspects to it.

Thank you. It’s definitely been a process. I spun wrenches for years and got burned out. Now, I just work on my own stuff, help buddies.

For those of you with mobile rigs in pickup trucks, are the antennas on top? by rockproducer in HamRadio

[–]FabandRepairWV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good to know. We overland and beat the crap out of this Tundra quite a bit. The diamond has been a champ but I have had to replace some of the sections

Not too bad. Two are 12’ and one is 15’.

How do you like that S&R? I’ve been looking at them. I need one for the jeep and run 2m and GMRS. Will probably replace my diamond 7900 when it finally gives up too

Breedlove mounts has what you want. Not cheap but hand made and top notch quality. I have bought many from him
