• After witnessing the continued decrease of involvement in the SpotterNetwork staff in serving SN members with troubleshooting issues recently, I have unilaterally decided to terminate the relationship between SpotterNetwork's support and Stormtrack. I have witnessed multiple users unable to receive support weeks after initiating help threads on the forum. I find this lack of response from SpotterNetwork officials disappointing and a failure to hold up their end of the agreement that was made years ago, before I took over management of this site. In my opinion, having Stormtrack users sit and wait for so long to receive help on SpotterNetwork issues on the Stormtrack forums reflects poorly not only on SpotterNetwork, but on Stormtrack and (by association) me as well. Since the issue has not been satisfactorily addressed, I no longer wish for the Stormtrack forum to be associated with SpotterNetwork.

    I apologize to those who continue to have issues with the service and continue to see their issues left unaddressed. Please understand that the connection between ST and SN was put in place long before I had any say over it. But now that I am the "captain of this ship," it is within my right (nay, duty) to make adjustments as I see necessary. Ending this relationship is such an adjustment.

    For those who continue to need help, I recommend navigating a web browswer to SpotterNetwork's About page, and seeking the individuals listed on that page for all further inquiries about SpotterNetwork.

    From this moment forward, the SpotterNetwork sub-forum has been hidden/deleted and there will be no assurance that any SpotterNetwork issues brought up in any of Stormtrack's other sub-forums will be addressed. Do not rely on Stormtrack for help with SpotterNetwork issues.

    Sincerely, Jeff D.

Now that I have a Jeep Wrangler (Sold my Subaru Outback Wagon yesterday) the setup I use for storm chasing needs to be redone. I'm clearing out my gear to make some cash to buy some new/different gear for my Jeep.

Good man for going with the Jeep and getting rid of the Subaru.

I'll send you a PM about the GPS.
 
I don't know yet :) Part of the fun of a new used car is rebuilding everything. I want to start from scratch...I may end up rebuying this stuff again...but I like my options open.

If you don't like the prices, make an offer.

the prices look good to me...

Yaesu made a mistake when they ceased production on the FT-1500, It was the last single bander with a mini-din connector for packet (APRS) use. I have seen them sell as high as 200 dollars on eBay. At last count I have at least seven of them; when combined with a TinyTrac III or IV they make a great stand alone tracker. I keep one ready to go as a loaner or for use when I travel in another vehicle.

I also use them to monitor 2-meter activity in the area, both voice and APRS (our hospital network recieves a beacon once an hour from each location (16)).

BEWARE: The FT-1900 does not have the mini-din connector but is otherwise probably a good 2-meter only, rig comprable to the Kenwood TM-271.

FWIW, I became overloaded on the FT-1500's and sold two of them for $140.00.
 
That's exactly what I used the FT-1500 for. I have a KPC3+ and a TinyTrak that I could bundle (for a couple more bucks) with the FT-1500 if someone wants to play with APRS. You'd have everything you need other than an antenna.

Ohhh now I'd be interested in that. I've been wanting to do APRS just haven't had the time. PM me.
