Congrats first, hope all goes well.
Re the convoy, basically when you get to any intersection you must wait for the car behind you to see you and indicate so they know which way to go

It's all good steve johno got them both. Just reterminated my coax connection to the UHF this afternoon and found that no one can hear me. The tx symbol comes up on the display and I can hear everyone else no problems! Oh well, the 4wding will be good nonetheless.

PM's seem to stay in the 'outbox' until the recipient has actually read them.

If you can hear everyone else your aerial (and its wiring) must be OK... Sounds like a problem with the UHF itself. Just guessing here, but the transmission circuit might have a blown internal fuse or other component... Hopefully not a big deal to get it fixed!

Re: Sat May 22nd - VIC Day Trip

What a top day!!

13 Cars

A big Thank you to Deeptank for arranging the trip. It takes some one to do it and well done. Now you have to explain how you damaged your side steeps and those scratches......... dont blame me..

The 1st track was a bit dodgy, actually it was more low rent than dodgy. A really narrow,unused track - lots of scratches.

The rest of the day had some great hills, bog holes (the big ones we left) and some great slippery tracks, very nice. What a great area.

I've been to the high country up around Mansfield a bit and this was different. Lots of hard core up there especially if it was wet.

Hope to load a few photos up in the next day, no doubt someone will do aswell.

This was my 4th Pradopoint tour and it was a ripper.

Re: Sat May 22nd - VIC Day Trip

Yep great day all round. Thanks Deeptank and thanks to everyone else for the great turnout - seems we beat the WA PPers this time .
Now to sort out all the vids and photos..
Someone else can write up the trip report - I did the last one!
Even with the burnt out bridge at the bottom of Bull Ck track, I'm glad we went down there - the regrowth was amazing.

Looking forward to the next one!

Cheers.
