Thanks for the info. 4 Lucid Hams is not bad. I worked on lots of ARC-5's as a kid. They were $10 new at radio row in NY. I think I still have some parts here. Enjoy your AIR. I love mine more every day, especially the days after AA arrived. I have reached a truce with the locking wizard.

Nice! I wonder how many other Lucid Hams there are out there? In case you are worried about EMP, here is a pix of vacuum tube ARC-5's from WW II in a car.

I made it out of parts in my junkbox. Check Amazon and ham radio sites.

I use the kind of suction cup that has a lever to remove the air. Its fairly reliable and has only come loose once, when I brushed a bush in my driveway. The parts are coated metal or plastic and caused no damage.

I'm also a ham. I have a 2025 Air PURE. My IC - 208H works well sitting behind the screen, fed with 12V from the trunk. I solved the antenna problem by using a suction cup from an old HP GPS mount. Thin coax is fed through trunk lid seam. All works better than the 6 M Saturn 6 Halo on my 56...

As a representative of the NERD and math/science folks, who buy things based on technology and Specs, I found the Adv. fun to watch, but useless.

V2L should be much easier than V2H, uses some similar parts, and would be very useful to run a Refrig. during a power failure. Why not do it first? The Gravity already has the needed technology available.

Here is where I tried this in my 63 T-Bird.

When all works = Lucy When door locks or other things fail = Lucifer

Great photo! I had mine delivered to my driveway from Miami via enclosed trailer (included in original $1500 delivery charge). That's me in the photo at the left with my 56 Merc. and Ham radio antenna. My Lucid has a more modest Ham antenna. I only use the key fob, so wired in a larger...

I have a 2025 Pure on Hilton Head, and also no lease. Best parts of car are drive, library quiet, appearance, and all the cameras to help get in/out of parking spaces and garage. Worst parts (NOT deal killers) are flakey key fob and door handles not always popping out when pushed in. The car is...

BRAVO!!!

I've noticed somethig similar with my fob. I have passive unlock turned off. Sometimes pushing front or rear driver side handles works, other times it does not. I can see the yellow light blink when its going to work. When the driver side fails, I have better luck with the passenger side...

The contract and and seeming gag oder must come from the key manufacturer Pektron. I wrote to them once, but got no answer. A group effort might help.

I think you may be correct. But that then suggests that there may be a muzzling clause in the contract. As I said before, I have found ways around the issue, in order to enjoy this great car, but it refelects poorly when others see it.

I know that part. But why wouldnt they try to work a fix with the vendor that might be offered as an extra cost item. e.g. just one simple example: Turn in your key and we will give you one with a real button or buttons and a larger battery. In other words, show that you are working within the...

Good philosophy. I use a combination of 'work around +live with it' to enjoy the car. However, the Silence of Lucid is what is amazing. Do you think they are bound by a silence clause in their contract?

I think the door handles and key fob have a sensor. Whenever you want to show off the car, or the weather is bad, they fail. Overall probablity of getting in the car on one try = 50%. On 2-3 tries = 100%.

I do not use the ap. I use the FOB with PU off
