    Garmin Mapsource Topo And Roads & Rec

    in GPS technology and devices

    Posted · Edited by _mo_

    I've got Mapsource Topo (all 3 cds are great) v3.02 and Roads & Rec v3.00 (Oct 99) that I no longer need.

     

    Things I'd like to trade for:

     

    Nice pocket knife (Spyderco, CRKT, etc)

    SureFire flashlight

    Old laptop

     

    Obviously, I'm not looking for a $300 item, though I wouldn't turn one down :unsure: .

     

    Just something interesting. Or make me a cash offer.

    I listen regularly with my VX5 and an aftermarket antenna, but it's still a rubber ducky.

     

    But I wouldn't have grand aspirations of getting into it with the antenna - I'm sure it could happen, but the signal would suck (technical term)

    Arrow Antennas

     

    That is the antenna on my wish list.

    yep... I've seen one on ebay over the past 6 months or so... BIN price of $75 (including the duplexer) and it finally sold for like $130.

     

    I hate being broke.

    Its 132.00 at ARROWS websire..... with duplexer.

    yeah, but the bag isn't included in that price.

     

    :o

    not just yet, but im considering it...

     

    i want either a new palm, a nice color one with bluetooth, im thinking a slightly older tungsten t2. im currently using a visor edge...

     

    or

     

    a new HT, i love my kenwood TH-79A dual band HT, its served me well for 5-6 years now, but i bought a tm-d700a, so im thinking it would be cool to get a th-d7ag to do aprs on the go and maybe play on some mobile packet...however theres also the pocket tracker from byonics...

     

    decisions, decisions, can i really justify any of them?!

    simplex: think walkietalkie. one person talks, while the other listens.

     

    duplex: yes, two frequencies, but still, only one person talks at a time

     

     

    unless you're talking full-duplex, then it's like a phone - you both talk when you want, but you probably won't have to deal with that much.

    it's illegal to use ham bands for a commercial venture (APRS or voice or whatever) and I'm pretty sure that using a marine frequency while not floating is illegal.

     

    Look into using APRS over a business freq - its certainly possible and won't get you smacked by the FCC

    It's the sign my grandfather had for probably 30+ years. He passed several years ago and I got the idea to grab it when I found that his original sign was still available.

     

    Thought about getting his last sign, K4JFN, but he'll always be the Jolly Forty-Niner from Eastern Carolina, as he identified himself.
