Love hearing the Not a Rubicon music in background

[@BaaSicStuff]

For sure, unlike some KZbinrs I reply to most comments ;)

[@jeffreycarroll5920]

Good video! As an electrician one thing you need to do for safety is this……. Your ground wire from the antenna is run in a metal or aluminum flex sleeve. You need a jumper from the sleeve to the ground wire to avoid a potential… Easiest way to do this is at the ground rod end of the flex, install a (flex connector with a ground lug) on the flex then a short jumper wire from that lug to the ground rod. Only need to do this on one end of the flex. So in essence you are bonding the metal flex to the ground system.

[@BaaSicStuff]

Thank you....makes sense, We bond everything of aircraft due to static build up

[@javiergarcia298]

Great setup. I love it....

[@BaaSicStuff]

Thank you Sir

turn the phone sideways next time

[@BaaSicStuff]

80% of my videos are watched on phones, tablets; not on a computer or TV. So out of the 250,000 views a day I get 200,000 are watch on phone. My videos are optimized for that experience, try it; no need to hold your phone sideways.

[@baron1c]

@@BaaSicStuff I’m watching on a phone right now. For you tube. I turn the phone sideways. (Widescreen) the format you are using is indeed optimized for phones, but not you tube. More like reels or tic toc. I would definitely recommend turning tour phone sideways and filming for you tube. Then you can use an editor to crop and change the format for reels/tic toc later. Pretty “basic stuff” imo

[@dcentral]

I have a similar GMRS setup with a Kenwood and a copper Slim Jim antenna with a 6db gain from KB9VBR antennas. I also chose M&P coax over the LMR. Now I’m trying to figure out how to setup a solar powered battery backup that will run a 45 watt radio in case of power outages.

[@BaaSicStuff]

sounds like a nice idea with the solar

[@ozone385]

I think i would have put the coax near the bottom of the wall with my lightning block near ground level with a ground rod near in, shorter run. You may want to check local codes for grounding.

Can I power two base stations with one DC power unit? These Wouxuns can only work as a repeater if two are connected. I just wonder if I'd need to purchase another DC power unit if ever decided to go with a second Wouxun or get a HAM base station for instance. Great video by the way!

[@BaaSicStuff]

I forget the math on this one....but; I personally have 2 units and use two units for KZbin testing; but my $38 dollar one could power both my units easy. www.amazon.com/shop/baasicstuff?ref=ac_inf_hm_vp clickable links are not useful here I know but on my Amazon store I listed everything I use and recommend. My samlex power DC unit is pretty nice but $200, very clean power as my PYRAMD has a cig lighter type for testing my mobile set up, I set up both these bas stations with their own gear for testing; one is budget set up at $140 and very compact; the other is the KG 1000G Plus 20 foot antenna and the best COAX cable money can buy $800, metered power supply. Which one is the best? the $800 set up lol

[@hartranft66]

is that a KB9VBR antenna??

[@BaaSicStuff]

Yes that’s what I’m using a j pole

[@hartranft66]

@@BaaSicStuff i like him, he caters to the HAM and GMRS community. He doesnt talk down to people. More people should watch him. Notarubicon and KB9VBR got me into the hobby. Including yourself! 73

Products given to you is awesome - todays overpriced products is a normal guy selling his left kidney to achieve similar results. Congrats!

[@BaaSicStuff]

I just posted a $99 base station set up, mobile plus I got you $15 off with my link. The DB25G hits all the repeaters this one does. The set up pictured in this video would be around $850, worth it? Sure its clear as hell

I’d rather let the lightning strike me dead than have something in between my radio and my antenna…. except for maybe a 1000 Watt amp… Mother nature…Hugh…come and get me….bahhahaaa

My wife would shoot me if I punched a obvious hole in the wall like you did. That's why I hid the hole that I punched in my wall behind a bookcase. What she doesn't know won't hurt her.

[@ricdonato4328]

The following is meant as helpful criticism: Suggestion, when capturing video always orientate the camera horizontally (landscape), never orientate it vertically (portrait). Notice in your video how much of your body is cut out of the video; not good. Every TV screen, monitor screen, computer screen, movie theater screen (AKA wide screen theaters), are orientated horizontally never vertical. In videos where the camera is vertical (portrait orientation), then played back on the aforementioned devices the left one-third, and right one-third of the screen is cut off, causing the video to appear as tall and narrow confusing stick video. We humans, maybe all lifeforms, view our surroundings more horizontally than vertically. Holding a cellphone or camera vertically the video produced is similar to looking through a tight vertical keyhole or wearing horse blinders, again not good. In addition, when held vertically, to view the entire scene the camera person must pan more left and right creating too much camera movement; not good. Also, because us humans view our world more horizontally, a video captured vertically becomes spatially disorientating.

[@BaaSicStuff]

The key to getting over 100k subscribers is experimentation, KZbin from time to time gives suggestions, on video orientation, opening up my content to those that watch on their phones has really increased my audience. It's not so much what this old guy wants but what my audience responds too. I can assure you at 52 and my audience being 18-35 they are not sitting in front of a nice big computer in their custom office. So 98% of all my video are shot vertically and since doing this I went from a channel with 8k subs to not 130k. So I may agree with your but the world we now find ourselves does not. As for the other 3% that I do shoot horizontally, its all for extermination as my audience has little patience for my long videos, in many cases I lose subscribers...ironically this video has been the MOST successful recently. Funny how our opinions while they make sense in our heads in real life just don't pan out
