What Amateur Radio is For with Ham Radio Crash Course

Ham Radio Crash Course has some of the best KZbin content for both beginners who are getting into radio, and experienced Hams. Josh regularly experiments with and demonstrates new technology and explains old established radios and techniques. In this conversation we go over upcoming trends and the one thing that he would change about the FCC.

Loved this crossover of two of my favorite channels! I recently passed my Technician license with the help of @HamRadioCrashCourse videos.

As a ham I can confirm I remember people by their call sign not their name

I'd like to see a test of the body worn antenna on something like a ready rig vs a plate carrier with different types of plates (Ceramic vs steel vs hybrid) The thought being the plates acting like a ground plane and not attenuating the signal like our water filled sacks of a body. 😂

I'm studying for my technician and general so I can set up a 40m NVIS as I'm down in a canyon.

Regarding your comment about the Chinese radios - THEY are listening to the users - meaning they are adding features that the big 3 Japanese makers are not! Its disappointing that Yaesu and Icom don't add an actual TNC to their flagship HT's, but Kenwood does. There are also apps that allow you to connect to your HT from your phone to program the radio. The next big thing to drop in HT space will be SSB transmit. Licensed amateurs have been asking for this in an HT for a long time - but they don't listen! I can't wait for the Chinese to come out with one first AND for less!

Citation needed here. I’ve never seen it.

@@HamRadioCrashCourse The closest we have to SSB in a handheld package is the IC-705. With the fact that that SDR's are becoming common place, it's only a matter of time that we see it as an offering by someone - but it won't be from Japan. I don't have any knowledge of what may be released - I only know that in other videos that have been posted on YT that it was mentioned that the Chinese manufacture of the specific radio that was being reviewed, wanted to hear what features their users wanted - and lots of folks commented in the video that they wanted SSB offered in an HT. The mere fact that they were asking what we wanted shows they are listening.

Thanks for the information. Am very "old school" and have noticed that "voice over the air" HAM radio has almost been replaced by digital data signals on the local HAM nets. When can find OTA voice nets hear folks bragging about using the Internet to connect without using a radio🧐.

Searched for atac and got fitness stuff, I'm assuming the acronym wrong. Link?

Josh is what is wrong with America. Keep Gaston, ditch the traitor.

[@jurpo6]

Yes he is a lefty that has said on his livestreams that he is anti- tactical

[@Kq4hcuDan]

I still dont care for twink Lucas, Issac but i enjoy learning off Josh for everything Ham radio. At least i dont wear skinny jeans, wearing plad pretending with an AR 😂

Botkins are 2a powerhouses. Isaac testified on our behalf in Oregon and helped us get an injunction again a very, very bad bill. His tech knowledge and ability to teach it are much appreciated. Yes, I'm a fan boy.. .but it was earned.. Note...thought this was on Josh's channel (half asleep) but keeping it for peeps that don't know of him.
