  1. I don't have a mobile radio *yet* (haha) but eventually. Meanwhile I have my HT and the FT-991A. KN4NBV 73s Hope to find you on the air!
  2. Congratulations! I'm so happy for you, and thrilled that you were able to tour my sweet Oliver when I was out in Jackson last fall. I look forward to seeing more posts of your adventures. All the best wishes for you on the road! Toni
  3. Greetings All, I've been away from my computer and the forum for a few months, while soaking up the mild Florida winter sun and playing with amateur radio. This year I plan to bring my radio with me, so I hope I make contacts with some other Oliver hams out there. It looks like I'm seeing most of the usual suspects here in the forum -- just a couple of hours on here, and I'm already psyched up for the next camping adventure. I'm glad I spent time perusing the forum, too, because I learned something new, as usual! This year I'm heading back to the Rockies but I'm traveling through Texas to see family on the way. I'll be missing the Solar Eclipse party out there, but I'll be passing through a couple of weeks later. I'll keep my eyes peeled for Olivers on the road. All the Best!
  4. Thanks for this post -- I had no idea about this issue. Fob pouches on order.
  5. Sorry — I thought they were looking for the control to turn it on?
  6. I’ve only been using a handheld, but I’m finally taking the plunge, ready to set up a robust station. I’m also studying — everything feels new, as I’ve been dormant for a couple of years. The goal is to make one station for field and home. I live in an HOA community, where outdoor antennas are verboten. So far, I’ve decided on the Yaesu FT-991A (HF VHF UHF) and I’m still researching other elements of the rig. I’ve been thinking about assembling my station in a go box (good for hurricane and any other emergency)… plus it would contain the station in a way that I could move it around, maybe even inside or outside the Oliver. I’m still in early stages of planning, so need to figure out how I will accommodate power, antenna connections, etc. I’m interested in seeing more photos of everyone’s rigs. My Chevy Silverado has a fiberglass cap on the bed. Can you post some photos of your truck antenna mount, and explain about the brass straps? Any suggestions and options to consider are appreciated. Even though I’m a General, I feel like a newbie operator — I am excited about finally getting experience with real equipment beyond the handy. Thanks in advance, 73 de KN4NBV
  7. My trailer was also in the affected group. I don’t know exactly how the local shop implemented the fix, but I didn’t have any issues this summer, towing at least 8,000 miles. I ended my journey with service at OTT, and they rotated and balanced the tires, but now I wonder about this. I’ll have to check my records to see if they included detailed information about this.
  8. Cort, Can you post a photo of the items on the forward side of your pantry? The manual includes everything possible — not always specific to your individual Oliver. Once I realized that, I went through my manual and put Xs on things that don’t apply, and stars on things that do apply to my unit.
  9. My 2022 Oliver’s inverter is on the forward side of the pantry, not the aft side. I’m sorry I don’t have a better photo right now. It’s the lowest of 3 devices mounted to the right of the pantry. Those are (top to bottom) AquaGo WH control, SeaLevel control, and then the inverter.
  10. I looked at the chemical composition of formaldehyde (and the EPA data sheet) and I don’t know enough about the chemistry to know its various forms. It could very well be that many product manufacturers have stopped using it, given its carcinogenic effects. It’s still used in a lot of things though (wood products, clothing, building materials, etc). One article actually reports on the use of desiccants to absorb and remove formaldehyde from the air — so it’s hard to say. Maybe just ignore my comment about it.
  11. Since I’ve had bad reactions, I haven’t shopped these products in years. Maybe they have changed them, but I believe they still have the distinct odor of formaldehyde that I remember — as I encounter them on store shelves now and then.
