two miles uphill

I traded my truck an never installed the aux switches. The parts I have included everything but the dash plate that actually has the switches. This is just the cables and electrics that are installed behind the dash and into the engine compartment. $100 shipped in continental USA. check or paypal and I ship the day payment clears. Can use a credit card with the paypal.

There is already a database of repeaters on repeaterbook.com. Still you have to program the freq, offset and PL tones for each one. Not an easy task in heavy traffic although you could add everything before you left. DMR always has someone talking and switching to a tac channel for a QSO is much easier than programming in a repeater. I hear people all the time, driving trucks in the USA and Europe on DMR. One guy talks while out walking his dog. There is even a radio out not that has the cell, hotspot and radio all in one device. Pricey but convenient. I have an anytone 878 with an openspot3 and use my cellphone for wifi. I can carry it in my pocket and take it anywhere. Too much trouble for me to add antennas and such. I have a portable HF rig if I want traditional when I get where I'm going. The downside to DMR is you can't listen to trucks for traffic etc but if I'm stuck in a parking lot going somewhere like I95 I can still entertain myself. I used an HT with a mag mount on my 2500 on a trip to Florida. Nothing not a peep on national calling channel and I tried every 10-20 miles.

DMR is the route I'm going. got a cellphone signal and I can talk to the entire planet. I tried the 146.520 and not a peep. The only option for 2 meter or 70 cm is to program in all the repeaters along your route. Seems like a lot of work just to ragchew while driving.

You have to drop the headliner to get access to the back of the third brake light.
