The Mojave Megaphone, Afton Canyon and Spooky Cave
We take a quick off road trip into Afton Canyon, we check out Spooky Cave, aka Spooky Canyon, and then we do a little 4x4 drive out to the mysterious Mojave Desert Megaphone - the giant metal structure in the middle of the desert that looks like a huge megaphone on top of a mountain. This video includes directions and GPS coordinates to the Mojave Megaphone and Afton Canyon. These are the GPS coordinates mentioned in the video. You can copy and paste these coordinates into Google Maps or Google Earth: The starting point, just off of Interstate 15 at the Basin Road Exit: 35.096839, -116.263855 Spooky Canyon: 35.031106, -116.329966 The Mojave Megaphone: 35.006159, -116.196492 ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7566ON2aDx0
Just past the beginning of the Cake Walk trail at Cougar Buttes is "The Wedge", aka "The Butt Crack" (if you have a different name please post a comment). The Wedge is moderately difficult but has little room for error. One mistake can result in body damage, dented doors or fenders, missing mirrors or worst case, flopped. There is a mildly difficult bypass on the right that is a small ledge, but most stock Jeeps or other 4x4 trucks should have little problem with it.
Thank you to Ron Rivet for the aerial footage.

Jeeps doing some rock-crawling at Marble Canyon. This little-known spot is hidden away in the hills near Hesperia and got it's name from the way the rocks roll around when you try to go over them.

Minor correction: The KG-916 stores 400 channels, not 800.

In this episode of "Shorter is Better" I explain why there are no multiple-service HAM / GMRS / MURS radios. I also talk about how we can take-back the Youtube comments section from the trolls and idiots and how we can Make Youtube Great Again! #MYGA!

---- In a previous video I talked about how often the FCC goes after people for talking to their friends without a ham license or GMRS license and what the FCC does if you use a non FCC type-accepted radio on GMRS - aka using a ham radio like a Baofeng UV-5R on GMRS channels. The response from the "youtube experts" was incredible!
In this video I talk about some of the examples provided to me by the Youtube FCC Law Experts - Examples that according to the FCC experts, the FCC went after people for using a non-type accepted radio on GMRS or talking with their friends on ham or GMRS without a license.

The NotaRubicon and the Tierra Del Sol Four Wheel Drive Club of San Diego led a group of over 65 off-road vehicles through some of Salton Sea's more interesting locations. Along the way we stopped and helped The Ecomedia Compass do something very special to help raise attention and awareness for Salton Sea.

Ever notice the "Compander" option on your GMRS or ham radio and wonder what the Compander feature does, how to use it, or how companding works? I explain what companding is and what the compander feature does on GMRS and ham radios.
In this demonstration of the compander feature both myself and Chris530 are using Wouxun KG-935G GMRS HT / Walkie Talkie radios. You can get a Wouxun KG935G radio here: https://www.buytwowayradios.com/wouxun-kg-935g.html?cmid=amsreGRvTmttM0k9&afid=MTc0SmRGN2tRQW89&ats=R2gzcjcwaHdoZ1E9

I needed some side-facing LED lights on my Jeep so this is my review of the Nilight 4 pcs 18W flood pods.
You can purchase these LED lights direct at: https://amzn.to/2Hkic2R
Use the coupon code: NotARubi and get $2 off your purchase.
These are great little LED pods, especially for the price. Good, sturdy construction, IP67 waterproof, they dissipate heat very well and come with fully adjustable brackets that let you turn/aim them any direction - left/right or up/down.
