    First time riding there.  Holy mother of God this place is awesome!! Pine Valley/Corral Canyon used to be my favorite place to ride, but this place is now on top.  Good mix of flowwy single track, rock climbing, etc.  Anyone know of a way to drop down into Carrizo Creek wash from up there?  Looks like it’s possible.  Asking for a friend...

    Yes, they always sound good to the transmitter. But they don’t sound so good to the receivers! 
     

    The microphones are not the noise- rejection type, so at speed when you push the button, all your riding buddies hear a very loud blast of noise and unintelligible voice. They’re very disruptive in a riding group. 

    Ah.  I’ll have to do some experimenting.  I did a static test using it to transmit from my baofeng and receiving on my yaesu.  Haven’t tried at speed yet.  If it turns out to be too noisy, I’ll buy the mic a la cart from rugged radios and solder it on.  It’s only $30

    I picked one of these up to use with my Baofeng.  https://ebay.us/kaOq5n  Doesn't sound that bad from the QSO's I've made.  I haven't figured out a way to mount the PTT in a way that I feel comfortable during a get-off.  I'm thinking of just putting it to my backpack strap since my hydration pack mouthpiece is there anyway.  I've convinced other riders in my group to snag their ham radio license and join in on the fun!  K6KDC aka Kyle aka Kilé

    Wait a minute. You two passed each other and then realized "He is by himself" and neither turned around to go ride back to the dude for a friendly chat? Well at least you now kinda know each other for future ride plans. 

    While I do it, riding alone sucks and I've chased guys down just to shake a fellow riders hand. 

    Normally I would, but he was going the opposite direction and relatively close to the trailhead.  If I see riders stopped or lugging along, I’d stop for a chat.
