Good to here form you TW, >>> When traveling on road in the U.S.A. and on road in Baja, I monitor C.B. channel 19. >>> When I am
off-road with others the C.B. will be on channel 37 or 38. >>> I prefer to not take the 2 meter south because of not having the proper Mex.
license to operate with impunity. >>> That license is tied to your tourist permit. ... Your t. permit dies and so does the license.
>>> Fee is reported to be 50- 75 dollars! >>> You know, as if the law is created on the spot. >>> Maybe this is what some
like about Mexico!!! >>> The small and cheap but capable "family GMRS/ FRS" radios down south must also be be licensed if used on GMRS freqs.
in both U.S.A. and Mex. >>> These have also been confiscated down south, but the dollar loss minimal. >>> I tend to be a minimalist
when risking my comm. gear! >>> Do you plan on caravaning? I look forward to seeing you and BJ. >>> Best Regards, sq.

You guys have a great time and much success! I have work all week up here in Alta California... so, I will only be there in spirit...
Remember, the left (south) side of the valley has the brush/ cactus and the right side has the boulders...
The bikes stay to the right and wiggle through the boulders to get to the bottom of the grade... But a truck/ SUV won't be able to do that.
Roy has a plan, I am sure!! May the force be with you!!

Oh Roy, stop it. I have never heard of anyone even purchasing said license let alone getting asked if they have one or having the radio confiscated
because they don't. 
I guess you can pretty much pay for anything in Mex if you ask them to take your money for it.
Just think what an industry this could be during a SCORE race, with officials checking every vehicle with an antenna on the roof for proper licensing
of the 2 meter inside. It would be chaos!

A couple of years ago I went south after a SF250 race and just before Gonzaga Bay at the military check point the captain saw my radios in the back
seat and antennas on the roof and ask for my Mexican license. I explained they were race radios and the license was part of the entry fee paid to
SCORE for the race. [There is a radio fee charged for the 1000 I think.] Any way we went back and forth over this for several minutes and he finally
told me to go on. That is the only time I have ever been asked for a license for my radios. I don't know what the Mexican law is for two way radios.

 Jeeebus!
What is all the uproar about radios? At the risk of starting a radio info pfi$$ing match, here is the general info.
CBs are legal there anywhere, anytime, FRS/GMRS are used regularly by folks up and down the penninsula, like RV caravans, lost seniors in WalMart,
beachcombers and parents with teenagers they're trying to keep track of. Ham two meter (144-148 MHz) rigs are used legally through RECIPROCAL
LICENSING AGREEMENTS between the Mexican and U.S. governments (a standing question on the FCC license test in the U.S.). VHF marine band radios are
used by locals, hotels, ejidos and pangeros for daily communication, marine and otherwise.
Race radios use U.S. commercial band FM frequencies in Mexico through an agreement between race organizers and the Mexican communications authorities.
If anybody confiscates your gear, you have a legitimate grievance with somebody higher up the Baja food chain.

Good luck on locating the route. I hope everything goes as planned. I will report back from the Goa Gil event in Tijuana next week.
Just can't wait to hear 24 hours of Goa Trance.

Attention Taco Feliz,
"IF ANYBODY CONFISCATES YOUR GEAR, YOU HAVE A LEGITMATE GRIEVANCE WITH SAMEBODY HIGHER UP THE BAJA FOOD CHAIN."
" LEGITMATE GRIEVANCE" You resemble a man with a paper rectum fighting a forest fire!
I assume you would enjoy TRANCE music 24 hrs. straight by GOA TRANCE.
Jeeeebus ? You are truly lost and just wandering aimlessly.
Good luck, sq.

Gadget, as they say, come on down. I'll be in my silver GMC Z71 and I'll have my XR250 Honda so I can maybe do some scouting. I've got 4 pry bars.

Chris can't go to Goa Gil, and I'm not leaving my Rubicon parked on the street in TJ, so unfortunately I'm not gonna hear my Psychedelic Trance guru,
either.
Waaaa!!!
