    [NA] GMRS or HAM enthusiasts?

    So with ham, are we referring to DSTAR or analog? I have played with DTAR and local repeaters and it works pretty well but you can't ignore the low prices on the Baofengs.

    Fixing headrest

    The hardest part will be drilling the holes in the tubes so that they fit into the holes in the seat back. There is a tight fit and if you do not drill them so that the rods are perfectly parallel, it will not work. I used the seat back as a template and inserted the rods into the seat back...

    Loose Adjustment Knobs on Cessna Seat

    Sounds like the knob has a roll pin holding the knob on. You can get those at the hardware store and cut to length. If the knob is bad, you can find many of these modeled for a 3D printer. Just download the STL file and have a friend with a 3D printer print in nylon, ABS, or ASA. PLA does...

    Fixing headrest

    I fabricated the headrests on my Warrior and this looks like an easy repair. Looks like you have the Airtex headrest cover with a velcro bottom. Open that and pull your headrest frame out of the cover. Be careful so you will not damage the foam padding. If the steel rods going into the frame...

    Need a self powered stereo intercom

    I used to help a diving instructor with new students when I lived in Florida. There also seemed to be a fear/apprehension factor with new divers on their first dive and they were the ones that seemed to have the problems with equalization. The problem seemed to go away on subsequent dives.

    Iphone lightning port cleaner

    ACF-50 works as a great cleaner for electrical connectors. These ports can also go bad and become loose. It may be a good time to upgrade your phone because repairing these connectors is generally not cost effective.

    My wife thinks she was hacked. I’m not so sure.

    I am an administrator of a Google Group and occasionally see these type of attacks. First step I do is to retrieve the email header and try to see what happened. You can identify all the servers that were used and determine if any are known spam sites. I then look at all the email addresses...

    (NA) Not a LEO, but. . .

    If you carry, know the state laws where you are. Many states require that you disclose that you have a firearm; some do not. In any event, open your drivers side window with dome light on and keep your hands on the steering wheel so that the officer can see them. I retrieve my license and...

    S-Tec 40 Gurus? Paired with Aspen

    Yes. I had some issues with my G5 installation and the AP that installed said that he needed to configure to a King HSI. He did that and it worked perfectly with my STEC 30.

    Piper Arrow at tie down with dead battery...how to charge?

    If the battery is completely discharged, I would test it with a battery tester. I like to use one that I bought on Amazon that calculates cranking amps or cold cranking amps and compares to the rated CCA on the battery or from the manufacture. I have used that on solar system batteries, cars...

    ACK E-04 ELT remote transmit light intermittently illuminates

    The older versions of this ELT have a technical service bulletin that requires a static suppressor on the antenna. If your antenna requires it, get it and see if this solves your problem.

    Wireless hot spot capability

    I have used a battery operated Netgear 4G hotspot with T-Mobile for camping at Sun N Fun and Oshkosh. I typically limit access to 5 -6 people and may use it to stream music. It works well for my purposes but I doubt that it would satisfy your needs. I use a QR code to distribute the SSID and...
