Signs Along the Marathon Course

I'm running the Knoxville Half Marathon today, so here are few of my favorite signs that you see around the marathon course..

• Worst parade - ever.
• They lied - it isn't 2.62 miles.
• Getting up early to make this sign wasn't easy either!
• You think you are tired, I've been holding this sign for minutes!
• You are the slowest runner so far.
• Pain is temporary - results on the internet are forever!
• I'm sure this seemed like a good idea four months ago.
• Chuck Norris never ran a marathon.
• Shortcut -->
• Running is my sport's punishment.

But my favorite is the one held by my little girl that says "Yay Daddy!"

TYT TH-UV3R: More Tri-band Success

This makes three people that have three bands working on their TYT TH-UV3R:

"I have a pair the 2m/1.25m versions. I even got the 70cm band unlocked and working. I am just wondering, is the 70cm band putting out the same watts as the 2m/1.25m bands or not? If not, how many watts? Or does anyone know?"

And, if I read all these correctly, the first guys had 2M/440 radios and added 220. The last guy above had a 2M/220 and added 440.

Also, Jay updates to say he gets:

"1.8 watts on 2 m, 1.9 watts 440, and 1.7 watts 220"
