Handheld Radio Mobile

[@drewby4563]

Uv5r"s are quiet & what magmount did you use ... I use an extended battery abit more juice

[@lancegaerte6778]

Great vid man! this gave me some great ideas for my mobile baofeng setup.

[@DoriasLives]

Excellent vid Duane, keep em' coming fella......73 for now, Dave M0SAD

[@allsortsabouteverything]

Have you tried using the "Vox" setting on the radio instead of the speaker mic. My personal experience of the Baofeng mic's is that they are terrible. I now have the uv9r+ that I take with me in the truck connected the a diamond sg-m507 dual band. 73 De 2E0LFD, Baz.

01:17...is that not illegal to put it on your windscreen? 😂😂 Anyway, subscribed.

[@tonyeng2006]

Do you have a Link to the mount? is it sturdy enough when traveling? Thank you.

[@HamRadioAdventures]

Looks good to me!

[@TheHairyRainDrop]

What antenna are you using on your vehicle? Sorry if I missed that in the video.

[@rosianarosalimoedjenan4521]

Awesome.. Looks ok 👌

[@Jakelol1980]

Will i get a lot better signal with a 5/8 wave length mobile antenna for 2m with a handheld? Im thinking about buying a antenna and relocate it to the back of a backpack.

[@Bluejay1968]

Hi Jakelol1980, theoreticaly yes, but there are factors that affect it. In areas where the landscape is undulating a 1/4 wave can perform better due to its wider angle of transmitted signal. Your best bet is do some tests and see what works best. 73 Duane

"you're a little bit quiet" this is because on narrow-fm (UK ham) deviation on these cheap Chinese handhelds is below par. I use to drive people up the wall because I'd cause them to turn up their AF gain to talk to me and they'd get blasted in the ears when the repeater call or anyone with a decent mobile rig would call in. Participating in local natter nets I'd cop loads of heat for it. These work and they're great for talking amongst mates at a ham fest or getting started but definitely invest in a quality mobile rig if you're going to be enjoying the hobby. Or even a quality handheld rig. Want to test it? I know this is certainly the case in my situation as all my uv-5r, uv-82 and bf-888s were tested just by monitoring gqrx using an SDR. You can see just how poor the deviation is, plain as day in the waterfall diagram if you compare it to that of a decent brand name handheld rig.

[@imsaucy8885]

What connecter is that?

[@krist7697]

How far was that contact from your location

[@Bluejay1968]

Hi kris t, that contact was 9.8 miles or if you prefer 15.7 km.

[@radioaficionadocafetero4143]

THIS BAOFENG IS DIFFERENT THAN MINE. IS THIS Uv5R?

[@Bluejay1968]

Radioaficionado Cafetero yes that is a uv5r. There are quite a few styles of the uv5.

[@ELITEMESSIAH]

Nope, tried all this, the Baofengs are not gripped properly in those phone holders so as soon as you start putting your foot down the darn handheld wobbles about or slips completely out of the mount.

[@j0llyroger889]

I watched the video you posted on the pocket warmer review and subscribed to your channel and checked your other videos out to find out your a radio amateur like myself, Do you get on 40 meters much ? maybe arrange a sked sometime.

[@Bluejay1968]

I have been known too but unfortunately I don't have hf capability at the moment and i am limited to 2 and 70. I do use echolink etc so maybe that would be an option.

[@EdwardVanNatta]

I am looking for about your product place lace me a message .When I post this this, I am looking for more information no this everything you have inside the studio you use on in this video I like to know where you get all these parts and how much they they run and how much did it cost you to put all this together and set this video up get back to me soon as possible speedsafe at their whatever you're doing hope I hear back from you soon

[@Bluejay1968]

Hi Edward, there is nothing expensive here, the mount was from a bargain discount shop around £2.99, the radio can vary depending on what you use, but baofengs are very cheap under £25. Speaker mikes again vary but can be bought for under £10. The antenna adapter around £3, and the antenna again depends on how well you want it to perform and much you want to spend. A small magmount that will do the job can be bought for under £20.

[@abelthesaint]

I like it.

[@josebravo4063]

Whats the name of that adaptador? Plss

[@24nov67]

[@Bluejay1968]

Tony Carr its not meant to be aesthetically beautiful, its a simple practical method of getting a radio set up in a vehicle.
