Does anyone use a Yeasu FTM-400 xdr. Just got one and I’m mounting it the
Jeep. I may need some technical assistance on install day.

Re: [BVARC] Our email list is publicly available?!?!?!?!?

[William Elliott via BVARC]

I'm a month into the club and my info popped up too.  I'd rather that not
be publicly posted.

Re: [BVARC] Self Introduction: Kori

[William Elliott via BVARC]

I was at the test this last Saturday as well.  I'm really excited about
learning more about this hobby.  There is just so much to learn.  My
background is not nearly as technical as most of y'all.  I'm a former Army
tanker and current homicide detective.  I got into this hobby to learn
about and practice mobile radio communications.  I am mounting a Yaesu
FTM-400DR in the Jeep in January.  I'm putting the last bit of funds
together and then I'll be installing.  As I move forward I know I'll have a
ton of questions.  BVARC looks to be a fantastic club and I'm excited to
get started!
