I watched the video and I am curious why you did the test inside a garage? I think the VHF would read better outside. Another thing, you didn’t same you recalibrated the nano nap between tests.

Get rid of testing just apply for ham radio Amature license there you go access to the bands have people come to the club to learn how to use equipment.send frequency list with radios. I can't believe they haven't done it already think of there profits. Manufacturing would make way more money.73s people already spending tons of money on illegal c b radio equipment. Why not sell amateur radio equipment. You can KZbin any antenna for that matter if you have license we have name and address. If you are a problem we know where you are.

Hello, The old CEO at my workplace purchased Btech Mursv2 radios and they won't reach as far as we need them to or penetrate the walls/roof. What I'm gathering from this is we could purchase 2 and see if they would span on the FRS band and if they don't then they absolutely would reach using the UHF band? but first we would need a business fcc license. They would need to be programmed before we could attempt to try the UHF. How difficult is it to program one of these I'm new to radios but work in IT so hopefully that would help and would it penetrate a steel/asphalt roof? Thank you in advance.

Too bad Icom can't seem to make a reasonably price desk mic of their own.

Anything is possible remember humans develop the encryption system😂 human beings develop the system that scrambles the data you don't think that they can unscramble the data also they produced the key codes to give to law enforcement to unscramble the date come on guys think that's all I'm going to say about that.

If people are listening to their encryption system I'm pretty sure they're not going to tell the media or law enforcement are the public because if that were the case they would immediately shut it down or find a way to circumvent what the person is done so if someone is listening it will be highly secretive to say they're not going to tell anyone and for good reason

People are still going to show up at the crime scene if you got a fire in your neighborhood that's been started by an arsonist people are going to come if you have a robbery in the street is blocked off people are going to come people are still going to come encryption doesn't stop that people are already at the crime scene before police get there and they have their own cell phone communication I mean it's ridiculous the argument that's being made here and it does not work they just don't want people listening to their radio broadcast but it was social media you can't stop the public from observing what's going on it's almost impossible

I think jaming will become thing of a past in Cuba because they will become economicliy strong again do to them joining brics. I hope US embargo would not be as effective 🙏. I love cuban HAM operaters and brodcast stations their short wave is just always interesting and fun.

My radio trys transmitting, but no power is leaving the radio, thoughts. I

DMR does NOT have better quality voice. Cons outweighs the pros

The FT-3DR had terrible receive audio and the FT-5DR really isn't much better. Ft-70DR still has much better audio quality. Pretty sad considering the FT-5DR is suppose to be Yaesu's flagship HT! I sold my FT-3DR and would not buy the FT-5DR! Yaesu lately seems to be throwing crap against the wall and hopes it sticks. Unfortunately the FT-70 is not as versatile as the FT-5DR. You cannot use the Wires-X software with the 70DR like you can the 3DR and 5DR.

I don't know if adding FM will improve things on CB at all. England has FM-only CB. I used a Ranger 2950 and tuned to their calling channel during the last sunspot peak cycle from the East coast of Virginia. I have a whole drawer full of QSL cards from the UK. So FM works skip just fine.... before trying it, the word was that FM wouldn't work for long distance skip. Not true at all!

lol. I wished I would’ve seen your review about 2 days ago. Maybe I’ll get lucky and the vhf will be tolerable. But at least maybe the magnet and coax will work well that comes with it. I’ll find out in a few days. Great review btw!

Major points that many fail to consider: In every crime there is likely a Victim a Suspect Witnesses Police need to be able to communicate confidential details about those without a third party jumping to and publicising wild conclusions about what they have heard or using that information to intimidate, harass, extort or commit further crime based on that. For example, the suspect may turn out to be completely innocent but the damage is already done. If there is a genuine requirement for disclosure of events, police communications are recorded (in the UK specifically) and can be solicited via a 'Freedom Of Information' request to the Police. Uncontrolled disclosure of sensitive details of an event may seriously compromise an ongoing investigation or cause the failure of a conviction on a technicality. Ham conditions are such because it is deemed an experimental hobby type activity where those transmitting are fully aware that they are being monitored and should behave accordingly. This keeps the activity open to all and transparent. Using encryption for unregistered private purposes immediately suggests a clandestine and probably criminal action. Where there is a genuine need for encrypted radio communications, licences for such can be bought and the activity registered based on a legitimate requirement. For most people this just means using a mobile phone. To be able to listen to emergency services activity or private mobile phone calls might have been entertaining whilst it lasted but there is certainly no 'right' to do so. Like CB radio, it was good until the moronic 'majority' got into it, then it was trashed.

😂🙈

I really wish you would have talked a little more about the actual INSTALL. For example, how did you mount your rig? Did you have to drill holes / put screws in anything? How did you route the wire from the antenna to the rig? w/ no engine, I assume there is no firewall, per se, but I've never pulled much apart on mine to see just how many holes there are (and where they're at) to route stuff trough. I'm sure they're there; there's plenty of stuff that has to route around through various places, but I know one thing that has kept me from putting any of my ham stuff in my Model Y is that I don't want to make any "permanent" alterations to the car (i.e. no drilling holes in anything, no sheet metal screws, etc.)

⚰️ 😂

Not the least bit surprised. What would surprise me is if it works again after it dries out. Corrosion on the circuit board could be a big problem.

Rádios chineses nunca pensar que dizem a verdade

Crud. Bought some for this rating

Excellent video and amazing software. I started using the ordinary commercial noise reduction a few years ago and it worked quite well even though it used road and office noise for training, rather than radio noise. I did a blog post on it. Google VK4ZXI, then "noise reduction" within my blog. Great to see amateur radio pushing the technology boundaries.

Do you like trump

So cringe the thumbnail

...aka, the "Ted Kennedy Edition". :)

I kinda love that this has become a thing you do.

I passed my Tech with HRP and I only missed 2. The practice tests were WAY harder than the real test.

I agree as a taxpayer should have a right to know what is going on in your community, I agree with swat channels etc being encrypted, but if they are looking for a certain car or missing p[erson id like the opportunity to be an additional eye in my neighborhood.

Citizens have the right to hear our Law Enforcement in action...unless they have something to hide...

Agree with the OP & K2EPM. There are certain things or operations that do NOT need to be in the clear. Other do. For instance major traffic problems??

I remember when Echo link came out and all of the old hams at the local club said if it's connected to the internet it's not ham radio and they opted out of the nodes for the club and all of the young hams decided not to join the club or renew.

EPCOM is based here in El Paso, Tx. Proud to have a local business being promoted

Just ran across this video. 😮 80m is unusable for me with +15 to +20dB over S-9! 😢 Not sure I understand everything but will look into it. 🧐 Thanks & 73… 😊

The license required aspect and how to get licensed should be part of the main presentation. Then who gets to program it to what frequencies? Sadly most businesses don't have any tech-savvy friends, end up buying Retevis RT-29s off Amazons - and worse pre-programmed to several ham frequencies - too many of them out there to solve that minor interference/annoyance issue.

Is an FCC license required to transmit with this radio?

Wish you showe how to program the CTCSS/DCS codes!

FCC can go to hell

What kind of pipe did you use for antenna.?

What lip mount are you using on the rear of your Tesla?

Can you change this on a XPR7550?

Hi great video and great questions I have had a scanner for 45 years and I loved listening I think they should have it like you said so we can listen except for when they are making a bust or something like that the people who listen help the police out as well I helped them once so yeah I think so we should be able to listen thank you

I've been talking on the raideo for 40 year's and I will be the first to say that putting fm on a cb radio is the most pointless thing thay could have done. No respectable CBer at least by today's standards is ever going to use it. Not only is the sound quality horrible but there's no point to it when SSB is and has always been the best and most long distance means of communication on 11 meters. If someone is serious enough to talk on FM they're not going to buy a CB radio they're going to buy a HF or VHF radio.

The moron did a half assed apology, where he called The Dipole "Complete garbage", like we are responsible for his comprehension skills, and now he has pulled down the orignal video. I declare this Traffic Passing QRT.

0 Encryption Ever

Well there you go... throw the idea out there and it will happen. This would not surprise me (when it happens).

We actually get taxed here in Chile for that , we pay a license for each repeater , its 19 usd or so every a couple of years ..

Well keep your head in the sand dude and get a better toque One that fits your empty head

Why is this better than AREDN which can do the same thing?

Ham Radio is a dying breed. The FCC could better use the spectrum for the general public. Many Ham operators have no technical skills and because of modern technology they are not needed in emergency communications any longer.

Dear Sir: It is on the home owners, we recently bought a new home near Daytona Beach, FL. We are both 70 years old. My father was in real estate sales for decades. Few of our requirements was the geography, topography, is there a dump site, land fill, bodies of water, major roads, routes for disaster evacuations, how close is EMS, fire, Hospital. Always Buyers Beware. Especially with the largest purchase in owner lives.

It’s sad there’s an economy for misinformation… you’ll see more videos about fake news while actual information you have to dig for.
