Have you tried 2-part epoxy. I have had great luck with that. Use a good amount.

Just finished "The DaVinci Code" loved it, good companion to the older Tom Clancy books. Only problem is now I have to go to the bookstore and get his 3 other books. Oh well reading material for the next week.

I have the MeriPlat myself and have been very satisfied. Dang that Garmin 60cs sure looks sweet. I wonder if there compass is the same as the Platinum ( you dont need to hold it flat, it works in 3D). I will let some other people experiment with it before I buy one.

Welcome to your new money pit.
Hint: if you are searching the spot that you swear its at, and cannot find it. Look UP.
and the biggest hint of all, Have Fun.

Yes the 150 is a nice radio. That was the first one i bought and i love it. But like others have said, once you get it you will wish you had bought a triband. Go for the 5r or the icom that Desert Warrior mentioned. I am looking at that radio for my next one myself.

Great story, maybe the cache should be moved down there and the difficulty rating raised. would make it a unusual cache. Each cacher would have to figure out how to get it on their own, without climbing down.

Yea you need to find out what freqs your area is using. I have owned mostly Rat Shacks and really like my Pro-92, but the software to program is not very good, and its a real pain to program all those channels by hand. The Unidens are also very good. Try scanners unlimited prices, they are usually very good.

Of course you are going to need a map program, i use Streets and Trips myself, and your data cable, of course a USB adapter if you have no serial ports. Set your Sporttrak NEMA setting and in S&T setup your GPS, and thats about it. Works fine for me, i have a MeriPlat

I have a VX-150 myself, its just a 2m but thats seems to be busy around here. Off-Topic, yes I have a AR-15 myself and its shoots great, But its been sitting in the corner lately. I just bought a STG-58 (FNFAL, From the Steyr blueprints) and really like shooting that, although you gotta watch the brass, it throws it at least 2 positions to the right, I always need to be in the right most shooting bench.

Yea that book you get with the MeriPlat is not very handy. Gotta love that compass, but i was finding a cache last weekend, GCB0C4 the compass was showing a new direction every minute, set it down and watched the river for awhile and it finally zeroed in.

Just go for the CWP, had mine for about 20 years now. If I am out in the "deep" woods, I usually carry. Have run into about 4 bears, once a mom and her cub. That was fun. The only time I really pulled it out and safety off was when I was on a hill taking some great pictures of a valley, turned around to put the camera away and about 50 ft away was a mountain cat, we both just stared at each other for about 5 minutes. He was looking very thin and hungry.

Just go for the test, i have also been passing the on-line exams. so i am taking the test tuesday in tacoma, picked up my first radio this weekend, a VX-150 nice to start out. now looking at a good tri-band for the Jeep. even if you fail the tuesday exam there is 2 more before the end of the month when the test changes. 1 at Ft. Lewis or McCord AFB, then 1 in Renton. BTW had to goto HRO in Portland to find a place where i could get my hands on radios. No good place in Seattle that i could find.

Also, hanging iPaqs off of hubs can cause some problems, The biggie when using usb is to install the software first, reboot (not always needed, but helps) then drop the iPaq into the cradle, you should not need to select get connected, you will get prompts that a new device is found, then thats its a Compaq iPaq, then that the device is configured and you can use it, activesync should start up and ask to be configured.
