2003 Jeep TJ "Rubicon" with all the Rubicon goodies, Terra-Flex 3" lift, adjustable track bar, sway bar disconnects, LED headlight conversion, Quadratec 9000 winch. - - -
1963 Willys CJ5 with a 134 ci F - head, three speed T90 tranny and a Warn overdrive. - - -
1949 CJ-3A. My latest acquisition and favorite plaything.
Guess I’d better start stocking up, huh?
Got up this morning to freezing drizzle and it’s now changing to snow. Forecast is for another 1 - 3 inches. Three days ago it was 70 degrees and the next night it was 15 degrees. A 55 degree change in 24 hours. Will spring never get here?
Well, at least it is nice and cozy in the shop. Not like my unheated garage a few years ago when Posi, Rad, and I did work on Posi’s Old CJ5 when it was freezing outside and not too much better inside. Those were the days!

Yes, it was cold! That was 3 years ago early part of December we worked on my 71 CJ5 .
This guy was hanging outside the shop most mornings.
We did eventually wrapped things up in the garage to get some wheeling in.

007-How is the speaker's sound quality of that radio, against engine and background noise?
How sensitive is the mic to picking up background noise?
Lastly-How sensitive is this radio to ignition/altenator RFI?
TNX!

Dunno... I know how to talk and listen. That’s it. I was told it had enough HP to technically require a HAM license...

These radios can be programmed for GMRS, but we have chosen to only program the ones in our group for FRS channels and various weather bands. I also have the programming software on my laptop and can program one for anyone that needs that. Since they pretty much all look the same, I figured out how to program the welcome screen custom, you name, etc, up to eight characters.

You can only bypass a lic for FRS/GMRS, if the radio has less than 2 watts power.

The radio in my link is 8 watts........

We don't want to get in a discussion about these radios in our planning thread. If you want to discuss these radios, I suggest you start a new thread if you wish to proceed with a discussion.

It was a caution is all--
I was the one who posted the radio link in this thread, and don't want folks having to deal with the FCC, over non-lic enforcement issues.
Trust me, when I say that the FCC has no sense of humor........
