The Very Remote And Winding Hwy 25 Nsx Run - 3/29/08

[NSFRBLX]

I have this type of radio (Motorola XU2100)

Will this work for the club frequency?

The NSX Club of America has selected the frequency of 464.55 MHz

According to the tech sheet on the Radio Shack website.... your radio covers Frequency Range 461-470


I'd say it should work

Hi Jack and Yolanda,

Just a quick question about the duration of the trip, are we expecting to be back in San Jose around 4:00? just want to make sure I will be able to make it back on time with another commitment at 5:00.

Thanks for setting it up,

-Nat

We shouldn't be leaving any later than about 1:30 PM from Harris Ranch which should put you back in Hollister at 3:30-4:00 PM tops. If that is cutting it too close, you can always have lunch and head back up Hwy 5. Hope you can still make it.

Jack

Gabe,

Looking at the specs on your radio should work just fine. I believed the NSXCA frequency is 464.55.

Edit: NSFRBLX beat me to the punch =)

i've done this run numerous times before on my honda RC51 years ago and it's an absolutely beautiful drive especially when you're getting close to coalinga...long smooth, high speed corners. it's a work of beauty. can't wait to see all of you guys again, i've been mia.

 

[quack]

Can't wait, I'm definitely bringing a camera. I hope there will be scenic stops, the landscapes around here looks great! (I'm an eastcoaster, the only TRUE coast hehe ).

Mine is the VHF version, so it won't work out. I can't find a UHF 2 way radio anywhere except on-line.

According to your link you supplied:

Radio System Type
UHF

Channels
1 Channels

Power
2 watts

Frequency Range
461-470

 

[juejaimon]

All,

Please consider getting the 5 watt units instead. They are much better than the 2 watt units in terms of clarity and distance.

Correct me if i'm wrong, but if one in the group is using a 2 watt unit, it renders all the 5 watt users to operate at 2 watts?

[BluryNSX]

someone order the peppercorn ribeye and remind me of how good it is next time I see you

 

[NSX GT]

I have a different model Motorola "V" VHF. It won't work. No ones sells UHF except on line. I think. It's okay, I'll just follow the pack. Weather still looking good for Sat. I'll see ya at Hollister.

I'm pretty sure that's not the case. If it's a 5W radio it'll transmit at 5 Watts. Higher power radios definitely will have better clarity over a longer distance :smile:

There are usually good deals on ebay for both new and used UHF radios, but that may not be of any help for this weekend :wink:

Sounds good... i don't know where I read that from...i thought it was from here a few years back....

[EndLeSS]

Is this a high speed run?
How many lanes is the road?
How is the pavement/ angles of the road? All of us have low cars.

I didn't check this thread until today.

I've had my NSX for a bit over 2 months, and I DEFINITELY do not want to push my limits on the car.

Let me know, thanks.

PLEASE NOTE NEW TIME AND ROUTE FOR HIGHWAY 25 RUN
PLEASE NOTE NEW TIME AND ROUTE FOR HIGHWAY 25 RUN


I’ll bet not many of you have traveled this route before! They could have carved it out and then laid down asphalt with the NSX in mind. Back in those days, they were just looking for a way through. If you can find Hollister, you can find Highway 25. After heading south on Highway 25 we will be heading east on 198 to Coalinga and HARRIS RANCH FOR LUNCH. [/color][/b] We have reserved space in the Farm House Room for our lunch. Harris Ranch will provide individual checks to everyone to make it easier on our minds!! [/color]Our return trip will head back on Coalinga Road towards Highway 25 and Hollister. Bring a passenger, this is not going to be a high speed run.

DATE: Saturday, March 29th (if bad weather, run will move to April 5th)

AREA START:
Starbucks Coffee - LEAVING 8:30 A.M.
125 Bernal Road, Suite 20
San Jose, CA 95119
MAP

MAIN START: McDonald’s LEAVING 9:45 A.M.
1711 Airline Highway
Hollister, CA 95023

I'm on BRAND new tires (less than a 100 miles on them as of this writing but I'll try to get more miles on them by tomorrow morning :biggrin: ) Plus there's the drive "to" the drive. But basically, I'll be on tires that I won't be able to push so I've already figured I'll put myself at the back of the pack. I'll be going "slow" so we can hang back and watch.

Oh, and I'm sure the route is safe for our cars...
