I use a Meade smart phone adapter PN 608007. Should work with any 1-1/4 eyepeice. I agree with your assessment of the BS BL performance. It gets me to where I want to go. Also, to those who don't like the auto head lights. Huh!! Although the Sport works well on curvy roads, the Twistee's in the...

I can vouch for the fact that the bash plates are not for show. A week ago at about 11:00 at night, just north of Oklahoma City on I-35, I ran over what looked like a tire on a rim. No damage, just a few scrapes.

Will be here all summer. Enjoy your trips!!

Not really, I used clips to route the coax to a safe place plus the coax is actually thinner than the gap between the body and the lift gate. RG-316 is a low loss PTFE coax about the same diameter as RG-174 but still capable of use at microwave frequencies.

HI I'm Bob and have now had my BS BL+BL for about a month now and am loving it. I got it because the places I like to go are way off the beaten path thru some pretty rugged country. Rock and fossil hunting are much better where fewer people have been. Being almost 72, retired, and having lost my...

I installed the antenna on the rear hatch with a 3-way adjustable lip mount. The mount is a Diamond K412SNMO from HRO. I was going to get a mount with a wider base, but there is just a little too much curvature where I wanted to mount it. The mount comes with 13.5 ft of thin RG-316 low loss coax...

Got my radio and antenna mounted and every thing is working fine. The radio body is mounted under the drivers seat to the left of the heater duct. I bolted a piece of 2X4 to the bottom of the mount to lift it a bit off of the floor. For the time being, I'm using a lighter plug for power. The...

Installed an Icom ID-5100 2m/70cm radio. Radio body is tucked under drivers seat. Control head uses an A-tach mount with magnetic holder. (see pics) the antenna is mag mounted until I get a SUV lip mount for the rear hatch. Power comes from the 12 lighter jack up front.

Went for a nice drive Saturday afternoon. Then one last hill to climb before heading home.

Just some nice tumbling material.

BS Badlands at Badlands National Park

Spent a day out in the Buffalo Gap National Grasslands trails enjoying the ride and doing a little rock hunting. All I can say is wow!!

Same thing happened to me. Sync could not find my home wifi or my phone set up as a hot spot. Tried it a few days later and didn't have a problem. I wonder if Sync updated during that time thru the built in ATT hot spot and that changed things.
