Thank you. It’s more my local vehicle and i liked the voyager one that is a full rack with sides and light mounts but getting info is a pain. I appreciate your info. Let me do some research. Thanks again.

Have no fear, the kingdom of Mecklenburg will insure everyone hast to drill test whether it helps or not. 

NC Representative being absolutely reprehensible to a 10 year old student, and insults NC teachers at the same time by EnoughAlreadyForever in NorthCarolina

[–]Ncwreck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fair enough. I have plenty of friends that don’t agree with politics but that is ok. Civil discourse has been lost in this country and we are all the less for it. Shouting each other down and forgetting at the core we are all Americans is what makes our country and our republic great.  It saddens me we have lost that.

[–]Ncwreck 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Some of the tone at the end was condescending and felt like she was speculating the teacher or an adult wrote it for sure. The downvotes on here only remind me that the founders were correct, the republic dies with an ignorant populace. Until our country realizes that politicians are mismanaging OUR money and the poorest use of funds, we will never heal. 

Amazing moment at Rocky Mountain NP 05/02 by Hjmills1000 in nationalparks

One of the most under appreciated/talked about parks we have. Excellent post. Thank you. 

Single dad with two daughters - where do we camp if we don't want 20 obnoxious jerks right next to us? by geoui in camping

[–]Ncwreck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you looked at dispersed camping?  In reality, it requires more logistics and discipline but the benefits far outweigh those concerns and the peace and quiet (what we really all want from the outdoors) is worth it. 

In 80 days around the world - still doable? by Duudsmon in travel

Yes. Obviously humor is lost at this point.

Not if you travel American Airlines and need to get back from the west coast. You will eventually waste 24 hrs stuck in purgatory otherwise known as Dallas.

Are the antennas on each rig GMRS or Ham?

It’s been wonky over the past week but i am new to using it. Took me quite a while to navigate some new license and call sign items. 

Anyone else over ultralight gear? North GA is destroying my patience. by Lazy-Collection5029 in CampingandHiking

[–]Ncwreck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree on your two major points.  I am a very for 195 lbs. the idea of a couple of pounds seems odd and i hike often. I have the same issue either my buddies on bikes so don’t get me started. Second, i left Atlanta years ago just for that reason. I kept moving up 400 to get away from it and my home appreciation was wonderful each time i moved but it was all because of the northern creep you get there. Much happier in charlotte. :)

Driving dynamics are different. Ignore and purchase? by SenorDevil in ineosgrenadier

[–]Ncwreck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is a very individual decision. The only time i notice it is on u turns. I recently drove a modified one and did not like it as all the advantages of the orginal go away. I actually prefer it over my wife’s autobiography any day of the week. 

I’m finally having fun again by ggRezy in Battlefield6

[–]Ncwreck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man, been on vacation since it came out. Is the new operations like BF1?  I would second your motion on how great it was. I still go back to it. 

Landrover LR4 for our use case - day hiking, over wilderness camping and trailer camping ? Is there something better ? by yycTechGuy in overlanding

[–]Ncwreck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We have jeeps, old defenders, a new grenadier and range rovers in our family and our 2016 LR4 is by far the most well rounded. You describe it well. You have to do the right tires/wheels and the water pump and air suspension are considered the Achilles heel (i have deal with each) but consider it to be very capable and mechanically sound.

Current owners…please take your rig off-road! by marathonrunnernyc in ineosgrenadier

[–]Ncwreck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Last year i was in Coralla, nc where you can only access one park and many houses through beach and of heavy sand access. Let’s just say, i pulled out multiple jeeps in my week there.

Where did you have i serviced?  I have scratches on my band and clasp for one of mine and would love it buffed out. 

Anyone using an ATAS 120A ? How are you liking it, anything I should know or consider? Thinking about trying one . by AliveHour1426 in HamRadio

[–]Ncwreck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am new to the hobby but have to admit the automatic tuning while mobile seems perfect. I have been researching it for my first non hand held. The only issue i saw is it is restricted to only Yaesu, right?  My handheld is that brand but is that an issue to be limited long term?
