Subscribed! Passed my test on Sunday and got my callsign today. Hopped on and made 3 contacts, was pretty exciting.

Did you connect to a repeater?

Do I need both an APRS cable and a programming cable? Are they different?

This is the most helpful video I’ve seen about the UV-5R. Thank you!!

I talk to anyone, I want anytime I want, on any channel I want, with no repercussions. Fuck the FEDS.

Great to see you again!!!

How are you able to talk that far

How about ISS (International Space Station) when their orbit is right above you (I read it's only for 10 minutes)?

FYI, this video is a few years old and there is now a GMRS type-certified version of the UV-5R.

FBI. Holland. Chesney still harrassing. Remove his disability, please, Navy.

Can do the same on a bloody phone! It is not radio to radio.

21 years and no license, I will pass on that part. Keep my money and talk on.

But every government channel does it. You know, the channels and services our tax dollars pay for.

my own record with UV5R is 270Km

That's funny as I can't make a contact period. Maybe my area is a dead zone.

Watched upto what equipment have you,,,,that like one chippy asking another chippy ..have you got a big drilling tool?

For those of you saying you will use this when stuff hits the fan....Echolink runs off of internet...when cell towers and wifi goes down you'll get about a mile of range tops with the Baofeng lmao

Can you please help I just got the uv5r and cannot transmit I’ve done everything I know to do

Lost me at get a license

What are the better cheap versions to “listen” in

How dumb would that be to disable the transmit function!

What does it means "K4BBL" and how you get it?

Very surprising as 4 years later there are still multiple KZbin videos praising the BF-F8HP.

Great to see you back Brian. You have been missed. Please make more videos. M7TTI

Brian, your videos got me into Ham Radio -- studying for my general now after getting my Tech in April. I'm also the father of 2 daughters (2 and 9 months), so I hope that one day I can get my girls into amateur radio. SO GLAD TO SEE YOU MAKING NEW VIDEOS! 73 from KQ4QXW in southeastern Kentucky! Great job, Mora!

You cant use for FRS or GMRS, but you can take a hammer to your cell phone and destroy evidence.

K4BBL tel your daughter. I am from Brazil and I congratulate you for this first QSO. My call sign is PY5DG.

Not sure if you're aware, but Rapid Radios (Rapid Consulting) is using one of your video thumbnails to advertise their POC radios on Facebook (and likely elsewhere).

THIS IS WHY IM DOING THIS!!! THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!

Your voided FCC license wrong Ham

Pretty cool. Good luck in your studies at UCF. Have a great day. 73 KD2ZZE.

Congratulations

What is that huge handheld radio☺ give a UV5r her hands

Brilliant job! ;)

That´s an awsome antenna man! Would you give us the model/brand and maybe where to find it? Thanks in advance!!🤗🤗🙏🙏😇😇

Congratulations de VU3UUI from lndia

Thank you for this plain language explanation.

HT for Christmas could get her more interested, Dad.

Cool to see! She might not get her ham ticket, but it looks like a future KZbin star was born.

A proud Dad and a wonderful prospective ham. Congrats to both of you.

well done, great interaction. much appreciated.

Must be a proud dad. My daughter's first qsl was in 1997, and it was via CW, and she was 7 years old. Back in the days when there was such a thing called the novice license. I am grateful to this hobby. It gave me a lot of career opportunities. Mora, if I spelled it correctly. Learn all you can!

Awesome! I know K4WCL! I live in Clermont, Georgia! I have a repeater in view of my room... the repeater on Wauka Mountain in White County! Aw, dad, get her to get her license!❤️

joli contact, il faut passer la licence maintenant.73 F4LFY QTH Nice sud est France.

Wow great to see you back. You videos helped me tremendously as a tech a several years ago.

Awesome stuff. My daughter's live playing around with radios, my 8 year old loves tuning in on HF and writing down the call signs of everyone she hears.

Going to see you back!

prolly the first time "that's cute" has been said on 2m 🤣

K4BBL thanks for helping me get my start in this awesome hobby so many years ago. Bill K2WWS Cornwall NY
