I enjoy watching your videos and would like to see in the future something regarding radio emergency preparedness and long range communication devices. Keep up the good work!

[@TRIPPLEJAY00]

This is awesome pocket-sized fun

[@4X4-RADIO]

Very Interesting..

[@GregoryWellington]

I tried these nearer when they were first released. I've got v4 so need to solder a board on to each to make them work again with the latest firmware. I even got two PAs to work with them. I think my hope was that others would start using NPR in SE England with a NOV. So far beyond testing things myself I haven't found a serious use for them as I cannot set up any gateway etc myself as I'm a 2E. It would be good if NPR was integrated the existing Packet network and was put into the 44net setup.

Fajny materiał Pozdrawiam

These would be ideal for Raynet as we have been asked to look into the feasibility of providing data links between User Service locations - effectively replacing the Internet with a point-to-point link capable of carrying email, VoIP etc. with possible encryption provided by another layer such as a VPN...

Nothing to do with this video love your reviews did you do anything on the icom icr 8600 👍

[@belstar1128]

Cool faster speeds than i expected. i wish you could get internet via the radio that would have been very useful to me in the 2000s and still a little bit useful today. i guess we got 4g and 5g internet now but at least in my region its still expensive and i run out of data sometimes. but 10/15 years ago this would have been amazing to plug in my laptop when on the go. but i heard that in a lot of countries basic encryption over the radio is illegal for some reason. so the modern internet wont work well. and the speeds are faster than i expected but you still wouldn't want to use it as your main way of using the internet. more bloated websites wont work maybe on the fastest setting i can watch this video in 144p.

While these are slow relative to current gear they should be useful for Ham circuits going a few miles which isn't possible with high end WiFi gear.

[@MrRW1980]

i think this concept would be very powerful on CB radio but not on 2m band......or a system that supports CB radio and 2m great video

[@BrianG61UK]

We saw the really disappointing ping times on mode 20, (actually longer than some default TCP/IP timeouts). Were they better on the wider mode? Is the wider mode legal in the UK?

[@keithschreiter3885]

Can I use one as a master and one as a client without anything connected to the internet to control my remote shack with is out about 100 feet from the the house, I want to control my repeaters from the house. Thanks Keith N9QDS

[@AbuSous2000PR]

thx... I got almost a mile without Digital Amplifier. With Digital Amplifier at most I got 2 miles

[@roosboom]

Can you recommend a good antenna that I can use with NPR? A Link to Amazon product would help. Many thanks in advance!

[@timbookedtwo2375]

is a radio amateur license required for each modem? Call sign must be transmitted every 10 minutes or so. How does this modem do it?

[@box420]

Can you use this with a gmrs license. Gmrs is around 460mhz and I believe in the US they allow data

[@m1geo]

I have two of these and PA modules. I really must fire them up!

[@henrikkristiansen3869]

Seems that you can use this in the EU on the 433.42 Mhz ISM band on 1MHz bandwidth without issue.

[@febriansasi]

I have 2 walkie talkie, can I use it as modem?

[@joeblow8593]

Yeah, I'd need at least 25 to 30 watts, 500 mw is just way too small. I see these are 92 Euro so I guess that would be $ 150 including shipping to the states. Add another $200 or so for an amplifier and $100 for a directional antenna and we are up to $450...Besides I doubt they are legal here.
