Bill (SilverFox)....have a channel & privacy code been designated for radio communication? It would be nice to get them programmed beforehand and have one less thing to deal with there. Guess we need to make sure we aren't on the same freq as the VW guys as well.

I believe we used 10 / 10 in PA as the Crossfire Channel for the Chrysler Nationals....but any will do.

Dan good point & To Do, let's establish 07 / 07 for the Dragon on all the 2 way Radios being brought to the Dragon, the R32 Boys are using (2 or 3, update 5)! (BTW 7/7 is My BD, but also Good Luck for the Dragon Meet! )
My Best,
SF

Update re 60+ R32s at the Dragon Fri/Sat (from their site & Capt) : "We`ll use channel 5 on the 2 ways but we`ll confirm this when we leave, last year we had to change the channel a couple times because of interference...."

Works for me...Thanks.

See you there on Friday. Can hardly wait to meet new friends and travel roads that I haven't been down in years...since I moved away in 1969. Hopefully they have re-paved a few of them....

Thanks Max, That's four sets (of two) then, I'm bringing 2 pair.

Anyone else bringing some more two-way Radios with Fresh batteries? We could use a few more, Let's see: Dam to Lodge, Lodge to Dragon(Maybe?),1st Xfire to Last Xfire in each Run Group?
Never used them before, any words of advice, other than Push & Talk? SF

Well First Report, sounds Good for you & the Deer, but Bad for Your Black Beauty! Glad you were driving the "MB", it can take Quite a Punch!

Keep us updated & are you sure you don't need to get checked out at the Hospital, I know you got some Good Insurance, so money is No issue?
