I can't believe that you are holding the radio by the antenna. That is bad for the radio. Just taking the antenna off and on is not good but holding it by the antenna is terrible.

@TheNotaRubicon 7 дней назад

and yet, it still works perfectly. Obviously you don't understand how antennas and radios work.

@JawTooth 7 дней назад

@@TheNotaRubicon I have damaged radios that way. The connection from the antenna to the radio can come loose and I have had that happen. Your radio will not receive or transmit as well if you keep doing that. I have had these radios since the mid 80s and I know what I'm talking about. Through normal wear and tear, an antenna can become kinked or broken. Another way antenna can become damaged is if users pick the radio up by the antenna. This can cause damage at the connection point to the radio.

The roger beep setting is absolutely the most important setting, especially when ker-chunking my local ham repeaters.

Someone, a radio reference member is having a heart attack.

@sexybitch6605 9 месяцев назад

Well radio reference website is dead. Those moderators banned so many members that it killed the hobby off let alone what technology did. Those moderators did not contribute to keeping the radio hobby alive instead they killed it off by not offering any kind of assistance or information. No technical support. The salespeople in the stores always said go to that website because the salepeople didn't know a thing about the radio hobby they were just into the marketing aspect of it. So now radio reference is just a mere shell of its self. It serves them well. 🤣🤣😂🤣

@crominion6045 9 месяцев назад

I think the roger beep should be a 200dB Hollywood style sonar ping. That would liven up the repeaters. 👍

Now...i've got about 10 handhelds, 2 mobiles, 1 base, antennas, meters, testers, SDR dongles, f*ing coax and connectors everywhere......but no Boofwang UV-5R. So...i'm ordering one today......just for the roger beep......cause that will complete my happiness

Great introduction for beginners! I have a problem setting my new Baofeng GT-3TP (Mark III) to permanently TXR-power = low. When i change the mode (frequency/channel) or switch the channel it always resets to TXR-power = High. I want low as a default setting for all channels and frequencies. I can program it to every channel but when i switch the radio off and on again, all settings of TXR-pwr are back to 'high' as default. Am i missing something here?

@PatrickKanatzer 9 месяцев назад

I have the Baofeng UV-5R+PLUS. I tried changing the WN to wide from narrow through the radio. It keeps defaulting to narrow. Is this a setting that needs to be changed through chirp? My other radios are the opposite. BF-F8HP UV-82HP

There are about 5 states that you can be arrested in for having this radio in your car. You are exempt if you are an amateur radio operator like me. However, if the police don't know about the exemption you are screwed. I was arrested in Kentucky. They towed my car and went through all my stuff. I had to go to court where all charges were dropped when I showed the judge the exemption in the law. Did I get an apology from the police? No.

I understand they would be the final communication tool when the apocalypse hits - so, go ahead, have fun, keep it running. But at this point in human civilization everybody carries a radio, sans license, that can communicate around the world. I own a Baofeng AND a full ham radio but don't have nor need a license. Should the occasion ever require the use of either devices, having a license will be the bottom of anything anyone cares about. TL;DR - hams, your close to useless hobby does not deserve the dead serious behavior you all seem to want to push. It is no longer the pre 1970's - lighten up.
