Dude?! No shout out for Ghost energy drinks?! Would you any activations without Ghost?

i am using the yaesu ft-857d and was using the atas 120 antenna but not really pleased with it. i wish there was a better version of that antenna that could auto tune and be an all mode antenna.. any suggestions would be greatly apppreciated. and sadly, life prevents me from being an active radio operator like i want to be but maybe in time. thank you for the great videos you always put out!

It's not a ham radio, ham you can buy and eat:-) It may be used as amatour radio:-P

The little devices are pretty cool however using them city they have a limited range 2-3 kms at most.

Those who violate the FCC rules by running excessive power interfere with other licensed services. Therefore, the FCC is doing what we pay them to do. The same goes for people who operate on the Ham bands without the appropriate Amateur license.

There's no one on the air because they're busy calling "CQ the internet".

I have a true story for Y'all. My wife and I once lived in a trailer Park. The Lady across the street was ALWAYS complaining about me interfering with her TV, simply because she saw the R-5 on mu House. She constantly complained to the Park Manager. She even filed a complaint with the FCC-interesting because on the dates she specified in her complaint, my wife and I were visiting friends in CANADA! What finally brought the thing to a head was when she saw me on my Porch one day. She stormed over to me, and started yelling that the "Radio" sitting in front of me was was messing up her TV yer again. What she identified as my Interference causing "Radio" was MY PISTOL THAT I WAS CLEANING AT THE TIME! Perhaps Smithy & Wesson needs to be Checked out by FCC, LOL!

Ham radio is dead. You can bet your ass someone out there would like to grab the 220 and 440 bands.

no ones on in the morning or during the day only evening.. well people are working alot of hams are retired and had to go back to work or tired of doing ham stuff things get boring they may have changed hobbies

It's probably the old fillings in her teeth

As we get closer to the war. Communication is going silent. It's basic security to any observation.

Most repeaters have been silent for YEARS! If you think this has suddenly happened, you’ve had your head up your… The internet and cell phones killed them (and most of ham radio, BTW.)

Were can we talk about radio operators giving out their call sign every 3rd sentence? Drives me fucking nuts. 😅

Our practice is to not respond to GMRS call signs.

I wonder if the Texas ham grid would last long after a nuclear exchange? Would there be utility in a ham radio after? "Hope for the best but plan for the worse..."

We friends are using 5 FRS for about 7 years now. It's allowed frequency. So back at the time when we start using. A man started to claim that his router is not emitting signals and he is unable to use internet properly due to our walkie talkies.

She is most likely hearing a CBer running a lot of power. A lady on my street when I was a kid said she heard a male voice in her house and she called the police. After investigation the police discovered the sound was coming from an incandescent light bulb in her kitchen. The voice was the guy next door that had a set of golden eagles and a large amplifier. He donated his equipment to the FCC when they showed up at his door.

I grew up on a Tempo 2020 trans. Those where the days.

Thanks for the video. My family and I do a decent amount of camping trips and boating. I'm not looking for the prepping aspect. My use case is radio between my wife and I when backing in the camper/boat to tight areas, communicating between ourselves when she's on the boat and I'm at the storage unit getting the trailer, and potentially communicating between family members on the lake where cell service is non-existent. The lake is in TN so it's hilly terrain, and the lake is about 50 miles long I think. What's your suggestion for radios? What's the max range I can do without a license?

yeah but a tri-band for $56 ain’t to shabby

Ham is the old term for home amateur mechanic

I REALLY wish Baofeng would build a scanner. I bought the DMR radio they made and it worked well I don't know how much more it takes to get Phase 2 digital simulcast. I think DMR dual slot is similar I would love to see Baofeng make a scanner and demolish Uniden the way they demolished Icom , Yaseu, Kenwood and the other companies that were making Radios for 10 dollars and charging customers 800 dollars. Uniden does this and It is my dream to see a Baofeng SC-2R scanner for 100 dollars that does NXDN, OPEN SKY, PHASE 2 DIGITAL SIMULCAST, DMR AND Standard analog with coverage from 25 MHz to 1.3 Ghz, all mode, AM, NFM, FM, WFM It was such a an eye opener seeing the 5R the first time for 35 dollars and out of the box it was VHF / 222 / UHF I thought that the big guys would cut their prices, but they didn't. I saw a video of a sneaker factory in an Asian country, and they we're making sneakers for four major retailers and they were making them for a big online seller and they were also making them for the just do it company and the price for the big box stores was $20 and the difference in the material was that the just do it was a little bit thicker and the graphics were different and the color was different but I fell off my chair when I saw that the cost of the sneakers was 2,800 dollars Corporate greed they literally will charge anything they can and seeing the videos made by employees from factories where they make the same exact products for huge American companies and they make a generic version for the people in Asia and just like the Baofeng where you can buy one for $20 in the store in Asia, they sell for 800 in America. I saw on auction last year a scanner that was in Japan in 1983, and it was 1000 channels and it was all mode and .5 MHz to 1 Ghz It was way ahead of its time. It is awesome to live in these countries and be able to buy American goods for a fraction of what America pays I remember when I first saw the 700 /800 MHz Yagi antenna and it was 20 dollars from China. I bought 2 and they were awesome and I went back to the company to buy more and they said that their entire inventory had been purchased by an antenna company and sure enough I saw the $20 antenna being sold for $120 on Wilson.

she’s def 3 fries short of a happy meal

CB fun got boring.

Because all the old controlling buzzards asses died? Because it's only platform are morons that believe in the moon landing?

Hf is 1000000000x superior. Repeaters are trash.

They say ear ringing is a health problem. Nope. I had a friend growing up. His dad did Ham radio. Also worked on the AirForce radios. Either one he turned on. I could hear them. If AirForce is flying over. They use that radio. I hear it. Anyone uses a HAM radio near me. I hear it. I even hear cell towers. If the AirForce one is close enough. It just about blows out my ear dumb. No words. Just ringing. Every once while morus code. One time, I counted seven different ones. Nothing I can do about it.

Directly going to put a lot of trees here

Noticed that the WIN system was down when I checked.

Yea these are awesome. kind of feels like you got them just to crap on them for a video.

Grammar nazi? No. There's a difference between "Let's eat, Grandma" and "Let's eat Grandma"

This is why no one wants to talk on those... too much bullshit.

Well, it's pretty simple. Most existing hams are contemptuous egotistical gatekeeping elderly boomers who are generally insufferable to deal with most of the time and have been slowly dying off for decades; while simultaneously those of the cohort that continue to live on to achieve ancient status, continue to abuse, gate-keep and dishearten anyone new blood that might try to move into the hobby. Old hams are basically the Discord and Reddit mods of antiquity.

Radio "waves" do NOT hang around and cause problems later.... neighbors how ever DO.

Back in the 90s I was really big into CB, and was running a *cough* Heathkit sb220 and a 2 element quad antenna. My next door neighbor came over and said I was wiping out his tape answering machine, and my voice was vibrating the coils in his toaster. I was like no! lol. I had d-104 mic, so I slid the clip up on the mic to keep it keyed, and put on my fm radio.. Walked next door and sure, enough I heard my the radio on his toaster. It was even coming out of his tv speaker that wasnt even on or plugged in lol. 73. Now I play by uncle sams rules.

I've noticed (on occasion) when I transmit, my air cleaners and touch lamps cycle power... Off to on, on to off.

Hey Jason, do you have your tunnel server back up and running? There is no activity around me looking to tunnel in. Waiting on new equipment to show up since mine has sunset.

Would have loved to see the controller of the antennas.

Strange thoughts, strange people, better get out your tin foil hats to protect you from mind scans!

The trees ate telling birds to doo doo on my truck. Stop it!

They are making claims that if all 3 major carriers go down but the towers still have power, Rapid Radios will continue to work basically using the cell signals from those towers as repeaters because of the technology they use. Right now, they are also offering a free faraday bag with your order so if you don’t want them tracking, drop the radios in the faraday bag.

It's weird that volunteers trying to do a good thing like MMSN and Intercon get criticized for using 14.3MHz. Given them thanks and use other frequencies... 73 W4GAP

What the hell did I stumble into here on my video suggestions……Revenge of the Ham Nerds?😂 Robot voice….Hello I’m Ed McMan with a ham LOL I use a better antenna than you. Yessir that is correct sir!😂

Maybe trees can radiate radio waves?? Perhaps they should obtain a license from an arborist and get their own call signs?

Not a ham but I have had sporadic rf on baofeng that causes my bedroom lights go dim when I I key up on it frs. Feq.

Okay. Maybe she has out door speakers and the CB transmission is coming over them. I remember we had an RCA cabinet system when I was a young boy. It had a stereo, 8 track, and record player. Guy at the bottom of the block had a huge tower and amplified CB. We could hear him talking in the speakers of the system when it was turned off Eventually the fcc busted the guy. True story.

What ate you saying? They’re active in central Florida

One of the hams in my club years ago told a story of how, when he was a new ham as a teenager in the 1960s, his neighbors came over furious at him because "his big antenna was stealing all of the TV signals from their antennas" and they couldn't watch TV. That one was pretty special LOL

When ever I get approached by a non-HAM, they almost always make some stupid joke about talking to Space Aliens. I usually just keep a totally neutral and tell them not Aliens, NSA. Peoples eyes will get real big. I then give a smile with dead eyes and say "Would you mind giving me your name. It's for Science." They usually run.

Trees along with everything else sticking up above the ground will actually degrade radio signals.
