Oh, I have been a XM user since it came available. 3 units, home, each car, and i the boat. I will have one in the van....:D

Ok, like with expediting, I know just enough about this solar stuff to get myself in trouble, so I'll ask you all this question. when charging a bank of batteries (2 or more) with 1 panel, do you split the lead with 2 positive cables and 2 negative cables or do you simply just use the 1...

I talked to a guy Weds in Monroe Michigan that was driving a panther van with a 4 ft solar panel on the roof. It was pretty flush fitting so I don't think it would affect gas mileage at all. He uses it strictly as a "trickle" charger for the batteries. It has a 60 watt 8 amp output and it...

Col, Everyone i have spoken to has said the over a years time a cargo van can expect 60,000 to 72,000 miles with some more some less, but if you figure your "nut" on 18,000 mile a yr, everything else is profit. Because of my situation and not needing this business to do anything but pay for...

Beemer, As I said, I appreciate your opinions based on your own experience. Now with that said, I spoke with 2 "P2" van drivers yesterday afternoon and evening. 1 in Monore mi. which I would think would be a detroit/---- board, he said he came down from windsor and had been there from 2 am till...

Thanks Leo! To be honest getting a Ham licence wasn't something I had thought about, but you know, doing the research and studying for that test is just one more thing to put on my list to occupy my time when sitting in those parking lots instead of playing video games in the game rooms of the...

Thanks guys, you opinions were why I posted and asked. So a good CB and Antenna system will be it for now. Now how do you guys feel about the Galaxy dx 939 or the dx939 which is basically the same radio as the 959 but it doesn't have the SSB sides, it is simply a 40 channel radio. Any...

Beemer, I have had the pleasure of meeting exactly 2 people from this board face to face and neither of them were you or Col, so please don't think i am taking his side or yours here when i say that, your post seems pretty defensive......... As col said, no where was your name in his post...

Oki so we all know it would be illegal to use a 10 meter radio without a FCC licence and I know that the FCC is working with the DOT and is making a crack down effort to some degree on this. BUT, it certainly isn't illegal to "listen" on a BIG receiving 10 meter equipped CB. So I understand...

Well I personally am a firm believer that AJ Foyt still is the best racer to ever strap his butt in a race car. He won in everything he drove and wasn't afraid to tell you what he thought and even hold you by the shirt with his fist to make sure he had your attention. Hell even in his 60's he...

I wasn't "lookin" for the PC software, I was actually looking at stand alone units when I seen the software. I know some here use both with a stand alone gps and streets and trips. I'll be using a stand alone gps but was looking for opinions on the garmin software from those that use the...

Ok, i am on the "spending money to get this going step" , so having read the post on GPS, and Streets and Maps, I am on the crawl looking for what suits my needs best and came across this: Garmin Mobile PC https://buy.garmin.com/shop/shop.do?cID=139&pID=13484# It appears to be all that...

Ok We all know I have "zip" "0" no experience in this business at all, so what I say is simply just from general business experience having owned and still owning several businesses (3 of them right now). 1st, thanks for bring this issue to the table Beemer, while I appreciate your honesty...
