group has no more room for tables

[pinemtklr]

I was wondering are there any ham radio operators in the group and if so do you keep a radio on your KLR

[knightsabre75]

Yeah, I carry my VX-7R with me everywhere I go! If I have it in use, I just tuck it into the back pocket of my Explorer tankbag, connected to my headset box. I'm currently using a cheap Radio Shack throat mic headset with it, but the audio quality is really lacking, plus the earpiece gets VERY uncomfortable. I am planning to get an AutoCom audio interface/ helmet headset, since they seem to be the most 'bang for the buck" of any of the generic motorcycle audio systems out there, plus they make a VX-7 cable to fit! Ultimately, I would like to mount a Kenwood TM-D700A in my tailbox (Pelican 1500), to run APRS as well as higher-powered VHF/UHF. I would mount the antenna on the rear crossbar of my pannier rack, or directly to a metal plate bolted between the luggage rack and the tailbox. 73, and keep the rubber side down N0XLT

Yup. I carry my Kenwood TH-F6 if going off-road. It fits nicely into my Wolfman glove box. If going to unfamiliar places I also carry the ARRL repeater guild. 73, KG6YOF -----Original Message----- From: DSN_KLR650@yahoogroups.com [mailto:DSN_KLR650@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of knightsabre75 Sent: Saturday, May 27, 2006 1:41 AM To: DSN_KLR650@yahoogroups.com Subject: [DSN_KLR650] Re: Ham Radio and KLRs Yeah, I carry my VX-7R with me everywhere I go!

Hi there.........I use my Ham Radio on the KLR for everything from everyday rides to covering special events with my group CERT BC. I use a pryme helmet mike setup with both the VX5 and the W32. I also use mounted on my rear rack a Motorola Motorcycle box ( the ones still used on some Police Bikes ) and in that I have a dual band amplifier 5 to 30 for when I need extra power. I also run a 5/8 antenna on the box. For APRS consider using a glass mount antenna on the plastic body panels........I know a few that have and it seems t work just fine. 73 VE7ONE Pat

Here's another one... If I ride close to home I take my Alinco DJ-S41/11, but if I go further or gone longer I take my Kenwood TH-78 HT. I don't have anything "mounted" to the bike right now and not sure I will do that, so for now, I'll stick to the HT's. 73's K7NUT

Annually, BMW MOA (BMW Motorcycle Ownwers of America) issues a paperback version of what you're proposing, minus the GPS targetting (VBG). The info: tools, garage, lodging, camping, trailer, mechcanical expertise, phone number, city / state, etc. are volunteered as part of the annual membership / magazine subscription. I have to believe that not all KLR owners are on this website (DSN_KLR650), and therefore, the listing would be incomplete to some degree but that doesn't mean it shouldn't be started. Although the BMW list has not been used for anything annoying or illegal (during my short experience on it), some sort of controls would be needed to make your listing useable for us but discourage misuse by others. FYI, another area connected to this website (DSN_KLR650 Home page)is a map of this sites members (can remember the name of the feature). But many who post here are not registered there, me included. I guess I just didn't want to put too much of "me" out there and have Bubba and his Buddies come a knocking. I would doubt that Kawasaki would provide any contact info for past and present owners since it may create a strong, communicating user group that might force them to upgrade their doohickeys. All my experiences in a group like that were as a member in collections of large industrial customers that purchased electric or natural gas from this or that utility around North America. We effectively battled rate increases, etc. with our retained attorneys. Anyway, that's my thoughts on the subject. Don R100, A6F
