Any chance of any more videos please mate?

I love lowband vhf handhelds

QUIT BANGING WITH YOUR HT!!!!!!!! Use something that is not sensitive to vibration. The jumper across the meter is to damp the meter movement. When in use the meter is reacting to voltage generated by the slug/element. When in in travel the motion moves the needle. That movement can damage the mechanics in the meter. The jumper shorts out the electricity generated and minimizes the indicator movement. To accomplish the same thing when the Bird is being moved, you need to turn the slug to midway between forward and reverse. I am a retired broadcast engineer.

I’ve got the old serial port cable but where to I plug the other end into? Still using the pic port?

What kind of console box is that, i want to add multiple radio transceivers in my dodge truck. For GMRS, CB, UHF/VHF, HF and Scanner.

This is a notch filter aka a mobile duplexer. It doesn’t filter out any other out of band sources like a BpBr Band pass band reject duplexer. The BpBr is the type of duplexer you would use at repeater tower site.

I’ve got the Navigator 5’s too, even in our deep snow I just put on my running shoes and these on over them and super comfortable dry and warm all day.

I don’t like the P25 audio quality, for me an analog radio is easier to understand. I guess officers get used to p25

This is a fantastic video, the only video that no one should complain about it’s audio quality ❤

Dude… WHERE ARE YOU? I miss the Big Guerrilla ! Over a dozen years ago, you got me thinking about “prepper” uses of communications after being in the field for 37+ years. (Using radios as a firefighter / ham / / radio service & installs & vehicle upfitting back in my youth) Now with the Commies ready to take over again (Summer 2024) in the upcoming “Fall of Love & Riots”, comms are truly a necessity. I have a pair of UHF P25 phase 1 repeaters (Quantars) and a pair of DMR repeaters (Hytera & a /\/\ XPR8400) set up on 2 mountaintop sites w/utility AC power and standby gensets at both sites. It was worth the freq. coordination & licensing to avoid the mess of GMRS and itinerants . I get portable coverage over the entire area we are in. Any friend or family member who wants to make use of the gear just has to pick up a UHF transceiver and get a MOU letter from me. (Most already have dept. issued radios, but the rest have been buying used /\/\ otorola XTS5000’s, XPR7550’s, XPR5550’s or Hytera DMR PD-782’s or the AnyTone 878UViii plus or 578UV mobiles. The AnyTone dual-band (UHF VHF) are a great value for Chinesium gear. They are just not nearly as rugged as the others. Just a thought for the prepper folks. OR… you could also license a few itinerant frequencies. It doesn’t require the use of frequency coordination (very $ pricey) and all of these FCC “IG” (aka “Business Band”) frequencies can be included under a single FCC license for approx $250 (+/-) for a 10 year period. You can use ENCRYPTION on these vs. no E on ham bands or GMRS/FRS. We spent approx $4500 for all engineering / frequency coordination and FCC licensing back in the early 2000’s. That’s way higher than today’s pricing (we went with UHF “T-BAND” 470-52xMHz at the time when it was first opened up for public safety and some business use.. we escaped the Obama “stimulus act” theft of this spectrum she. Pres. Trump was in office and saved us. LOL Split up amongst a large group of friends and family , it’s very affordable nowadays. I know you know all of this , just thought I’d mention to the viewers. Hope all is well GC!

I just purchased two Steiners. The first one was the new Navigator 7 X 50 without compass. After 30 minutes of viewing, I packed them up and shipped them right back. Absolutely terrible in every respect. Poor low light performance, inconsistent collimation where the right side was sharp across the field but the left was only sharp through about 60% of the viewing field. Lenses were fully multi coated but Steiner forgot to put any anti reflecting coatings on the prisms resulting in terrible internal reflections when looking at the moon. That cheap plastic body was for a lack of better words, CHEAP. Steiners Navigator series is just a kids toy with a $600+ price tag. I decided to buy the Commander which was $1400! It was acceptable, much better than the Navigator but still suffered from that CHEAP recycled plastic housing. I compared it to my 15 year old Fujinon FMTR 7 X 50 and the Commander still couldn't match the image quality, or fit and finish of the FMTR which is less than half the price. I sent the Commander back as well as it just wasn't worth the money at all.

Would the MR frame work with the older 2 piece molle ii woodland rucksack?

This is also how pirate radio beacons are installed, just with a wire antenna ran through the treetops instead. HiFers are so much more fun.

@12:30 I went and sealed my ends with the liquid electrical tape stuff, and I used another little piece of the shrink wrap tube for the gap. It works great I measured a SWR of 1.0044385:1 lol, return loss of like 52dB so I would say it should work jut fine

Come back to KZbin!! We miss you!

bro you can not freaking just pull that down with your hands (or easy at least) after 30 minutes of googling they literally got a tool lmao sheesh

Dude, I really wish you would still do videos. I really like your stuff, man.

I miss going out on strike teams as a wildland firefighter. It's amazing to see how fast ICS works and logistics gets spun up and assets move in. Best times of my life.

Where to buy wood grip for my taurus.38 snub nose rev

Can I ask question sir ?in terms of range .?in meter sir?how many meters range of discone antenna ?

Una instalación pristina y muy ordenada felicitaciones !

10 years ago I got my technician license because of your videos. Your remote mountain repeater videos are absolute gold. I later went general and was studying for extra when covid hit but never got there. My ticket expired last month and I probably won't renew the excitement is gone. Thanks for your enthusiastic videos

I have a Black one on lay away. I wanna try the Hornady Critical defense Lite 90 gr. FTX. Hello from Lubbock Texas.

What are you doing Papi! Was soooo cute.

Just seeing your Video, Great one. I have the 605. If I can ask? Where did you get the Nicer Grips for Yours, It ads a great Look to the finish Great Statements on What you cary and why, never feel bad for not being wasteful with an overpriced Revolver. I sure love colt ( I do not own one due to cost ) Brazil is a Great source of Quality Firearms.

I like that song at the beginning. Who is it ?

You’re over paying for the mags because you’re in CA, mecgar is the oem for cz so mecgar mags are cz mags.

If I had 10 cents for every 'uhhh' I could buy a new ball mount.

Where did you go.

How does this placement fare for reducing road noise? Do you wish you had mounted it all the way to the rear of the canopy? I'm looking at doing the same thing, but I have a 102" whip that I would lay flat.

How tall are you?

Still up and running??? 4S7JL

We used these extensively in battalion FDC in the early 80s. 8 of these for 8 batteries. Those were the days!

It will last 3-6 hours. That’s like saying you might die when you’re 1 or 101!

Way too much gear.

Your mods took the ability to adjust the load properly

Cramps come from lack of practice it only gets better with time. Your also humpin way too much gear for your age. GO to light weight gear, drop the Sleeping bag add a woobie and a bivy bag

Any usb to serial will work.

burney is a nice area

Just ordered one today.

Wow 👍🙌🏻👍👍👍👍🙌🏻🙌🏻👍👍👍

Tengo uno higusl tiene valor

Safety last!

YYZ? You must be a Rush fan, close to Toronto. My bad, not near Toronto.

why doesnt it work with civilian radios?

I haven't viewed your channel in a while, usually for the comms, but I was looking for your cellular tower video that selects only priority users in a crowded area. I can't remember what that is called. I'm thinking the recent att outage is a drill. Love the backpack video, I've been doing 10-12 mile hikes with my osprey aether 60. I like it, but I wouldn't mind trying some surplus to make it interesting. I'll have to catchup on your new vids.

Quality control and recalls since 1997 are so bad it isn't funny, which is still happening with some of their GX 4 pistols in 2024. Own a Taurus 627 Tracker and have no issues with it. Rarely do I shoot 357 magnum loads out of it, just don't trust it's durability.

Use gloves when target pratis😊
