I think that screen and font styles are on point. Could be bigger for us blind folks, but I like it.

[@Barry_Mcockiner]

Once you have DTMF turned on in the menu, press the # key to enter DTMF typing. It transmits on whatever band you have selected.

[@ScanFan_Ed]

I have heard that this radio comes with wideband TX already enabled. Is that correct? Surprised the FCC is okay with that!

[@PaulGriffith]

I'm using a Radioddity RD-371 Tri-Band Antenna on my BF-F8HP

[@jamesharrison2041]

I HAD A 57 CHEVY THAT MADE A NOISE LIKE THAT EVERYTIME A HIT A CHUG HOLE "

[@rigadan]

Thank you, Dan

[@HamRadioCrusader]

I do not have this radio any longer. But I am willing to be that it does. Hope this helps 73

[@rigadan]

@@HamRadioCrusader is it easy to use if i give it to my 18 year old ? and TYVM for replying

[@HamRadioCrusader]

@ Does you 18 year old have Ham Radio Experience? There are a lot of features and settings on these radios. But that is nothing a KZbin video won’t remedy.

[@davidlapointe4710]

That's what VHF radio is for.

[@Assorted12]

How do you program channels into the different Zones of the radio? Can it be done in Chirp?

[@rigadan]

if you had to recommend a vhf marine radio for weather and emergencies for a teen, what would it be? TYVM

[@HamRadioCrusader]

@@rigadan somewhat but If it’s going to be used on a boat you would want a radio that’s IP67 rated for waterproofing

[@HamRadioCrusader]

@@rigadan I haven’t messed with Marine radios very much but Motarola and Kenwood are too very good brands. But definitely something that is IP 67 rated.

[@radiotory]

What is inside the radio? RDA or Beken?

[@HamRadioCrusader]

I didn’t open it up to find out

[@HoosierOrdnance]

Hope this finds you, but as far as time zone goes when you chose -6 what Time was it for you? Trying to figure out what to put for my zone

[@HamRadioCrusader]

@@HoosierOrdnance Where do you live?

[@HoosierOrdnance]

@ I'm based off Chicago time zone

[@HamRadioCrusader]

@ you are a -6 as well

[@JR-bt5dy]

Tri-band?

[@zach240]

This or BTech UV-Pro?

[@HamRadioCrusader]

UV-Pro Hands Down

[@djoverspingaming2733]

How do you make these radios work long range? I am dead confused and getting really frustrated on how to get these radios to work. I can only get less than a quarter of a mile range on these radios and I'm getting upset on how these radios should work. I have been googling everything and there are no sources. It's really pissing me off. PLEASE HELP!!

[@HamRadioCrusader]

I only have one of this model so far. I have a second video dropping on Thursday but it will not answer all of these questions until I can get ahold of a second radio. The fist two Baofeng's with GPS that i did the video's on would not pass the data through a repeater so it ay never happen until they fix that.

[@djoverspingaming2733]

@HamRadioCrusader ok. I wasn't sure what all I'm missing, because they advertised it to where it reaches 100 miles, but I can't get any range. I even did the firmware update on them and set high frequency on the channels and still nothing. I'm not sure if I'm missing any other device to call home frequency, or what I'm missing, but it's aggravating. I'm able to pick up FM radio signals, which are long range, but nothing radio call wise. I already sent an email out to them, because I'm getting irritated.

[@michaelliebe5028]

@@djoverspingaming2733 How do you expect to get 100 miles? These are 8W handheld radios. Also you do know that these are HAM radios right? You need a HAM license to transmit. I'm not exactly sure what you are using these for?

[@radiotory]

Such type of the cheap radios has no any filters and use direct conversion. If you trying to use the radio close to the powerful broadcast radios or police station or something like that, you could get a such results. Because the receiver of the radio affected by a signal which is close to the working band of the radio, and loosing the sensitivity.

[@mattkeefer8542]

@HamRadioCrusader you got a lot more reading to do my friend. I'll give you some advice... start asking your questions to ai to break things down.

[@lloydsplace2]

if i buy one of these ,how do i get my ham license?

👋FREDDIE WHATS UP 🤷‍♂️

[@Redbelly357]

Get a job and you could afford a decent radio.

[@bulldogbrower6732]

You must designate a radio as #1 and the other as #2 through the ANI menu.

[@HamRadioCrusader]

@@bulldogbrower6732 yup did that. But the format of data they are sending are different from the other model.

[@T49ers1968]

Is there a part 2 yet?

[@T49ers1968]

I'm as fresh as whole bean coffee in the grinder to ham radio. 😆. I decided on this model as a starter. Also, after searching KZbin for a ham radio influencer, I have chosen you at the moment! Any videos for beginners/prepping for disasters with a family?

@@T49ers1968 I don’t have anything on that specifically yet, but you got me thinking on some good topics now. I will work on that.
