It's cool that the Cobra Roadtrip comes with a magnetic antenna, saves a few bucks. The Midland is a little slicker in that the antenna connects to a pigtail at the bottom rather than the top of the radio, but both will get the job done.

I have the cobra handheld without the magnetic antenna that I use for comms when I'm outside of the VX (spotting, hiking ahead, etc.). I also tend to loan it out when someone doesn't have a radio on the trails. It works pretty well but definitely has trouble with longer distance signals out of the cab. I think the magnetic antenna would be super beneficial.

I found one Midland 75-822 today. We need 2 CBs so we may also get the Cobra with the antenna, they have one at store near by. Only a few days to go.

Are Drones allowed in the park? Was thinking of bringing mine to shoot video of us all tearing up the trails

Hey Folks, I've got a big family suite room booked at the Apache from Mon thru Saturday. Originally I was gonna pick up a friend in Sedona but she cancelled last minute, so now it's just me.

From what I understand it's got a kitchenette and two queen sized beds, although they are both in one room.

So... if anyone would like to cancel their reservations, be roomies, and split the cost...I'm game. I'm asking $40 a night.

[BigSwede]

Might have someone for you - PM sent.

For everyone's info... As per the park authorities, Drones are most vehemently not allowed anywhere in the park lol

Kevin and I both have CBs now, what channel do you guys use?

Anybody got a spare 6 hole 18" rim for sale? Got my spare tire delivered but didn't realize the spare rim was only a 17". Can't find a rim for it in town. Figured if someone can sell me one at the meet up I could put it on there

[mcaramb@rocketmail.com]

Dang. Got my new spare tire delivered today but no one in town sells the 18" 6-hole rim for it. Any chance anyone has one for sale they could bring to Moab? I could just put it on there

Please lemme know!

Thanks

4x4= channel 16 (or 4)

The channel we actually use will vary based on congestion. Last year, my Moab wheeling group primarily used channel 6 because it was clear.

Just remember that channel 9 is for emergency only.

I asked the same question in the FB group. I think it's an awesome idea. I saw a Hummer group go into Moab and they had a drone that took some great views of the Caravan of Hummers and I thought that would be awesome to do the same thing with our Isuzus. But from my understanding it's illegal. But then again so is spitting on a sidewalk

If you happen to bring one and use it I would love to see it.

So I made it to Denver at the hotel. Just waiting to meet Steve... and Jason is dropping off some printed items for me. I'm excited

[WillyLin]

Anyone in moab have a space in their tent site or extra bed or couch in their room. Ill pitch in. Sunday to thursday... Thanks
