Tom,

New product #3, Extreme Radio System from Trisquare is discontinued. The company is going out of business.

Info here:

All of their products are marked "discontinued" at most retailers.

Dave and Tom mentioned these excellent quality 5lb wool blankets on a recent net. They are becoming rare and are out of stock or no longer available on most websites. They are in stock as of this posting at: http://www.gr8gear.com/catalog/Bunk-Beds-Cots-Blankets/Blankets/Blanket-Authentic-Italian ...

Please sign me up! This looks like a great time.

The stranded party asks you to winch them out, tow them out, etc. In the course of assisting the stranded ...

If anyone is interested, I stumbled upon a neat little Android app. It is a worldwide repeater database. It is called RFinder ($4.99). It will list all repeaters within a given distance of your current location or you can search for a location and find all repeaters within X miles. It lists details ...

I am a newer forum member and have been listening to many of the past Net recordings. I have thoroughly enjoyed the topics and as a less experienced 4-wheeler, I find them invaluable. I was just wondering why there are not Nets posted on the website after 02/10/2011? If this is due to a perceived ...

Larry, I must be having a senior moment here. But, I can find no online reference to a Yaesu FT-170R ever being produced. There is the FT-270R 2-Meter waterproof which I have and there's a VX-170.

Is is either one of these?
