KK4IB is the call sign of an Amateur Radio Station. Pictures can be found in the Radio Station Album, see the table of contents. This radio station is licensed by the FCC. Among other activities, it provides emergency communications to the community when no other forms will work.
While in the "monitor mode" at home I'll be at 146.52, 146.94, 147.18, 447.325, ~14.200 MHz or 14.300 MHz. When active, we can be found on 7268.5 kHz in the mornings 0900 - 1000 Pacific time (It's an RV net), or on 7248 kHz mobile for WestCars and other nets; otherwise I'll be monitoring 7280 kHz. When the bands are open, I'll be on 15 and 10 meters.
We're CERT qualified and if there is a CERT action in progress nearby, we'll be in the action.
Regarding RV and Ham Radio combination. RVs have a device called "inverter/converter" to keep the batteries charged while AC is available and to produce AC from the batteries when its not available. It is succeptible to RF transmissions. Generous use of ferrite chokes is recommended.
You will find me always on 146.52 and 446.00 MHz simplex ... they are designated national calling frequencies. Give a call on the highway, monitor at home. If I'm driving, I'm listening, but may not talk much. Many of us scan all the time. When you call someone, announce the frequency you're on.... "on 52" or "on 79". Sometimes the scan function resumes before we can see where it was when you called.
