Thank you my friend, Eric. As manufacturer of Rangerfone series, I am happy to see that. S15 is a pretty old model, we made it few years ago , but we don't have any idea on RU-vid at that time. But thanks to Eric for being interested in our rugged/android/radio/sexy phone. We will bring up some more product in future

Hey James....you should make more rugged phones with radio transmitters in the future! Try making a phone with a higher transmitting power to increase the range.

@Coalrollinfurry
@Coalrollinfurry 6 лет назад
Really need a newer android version but for what it is id say yes its very cool, sounded quite good on the repeater and for 1.5 watts i just feel like if you actually had to use it heavily tho that it would need to be plugged into a charger. But better then the devices zello offers i think. Could it fit a negoya ant.? Then it may have better range, but looks like negoya may be a bit large to fit.

Cool device, I like the idea. About the CTCSS, this is in fact the "standard codes" use with PMR446 (licence free radio in Europe). It's more simple to use for free licence radio like GMRS/FRS PMR446. But it's weird on an amateur radio device: moreover if you only have 1 to 38, you will only have tones from 67 to 250,3 Hz. 73's Adrien F4GVE

@challenger2ultralightadventure
The radio is software based, which means that in order to make it APRS, D-Star, or any other open source digital format compatible, requires only that someone with far greater knowledge than I have, write the code for the radio.

Really liked the video thank you. Not a ham radio user personally but this could be useful for a group I'm with who use 2 way radios when on duty. Couple of questions 1) as we use a group of radios and not into a repeater would that still work same way when programming the frequency? Would we have to offset the tx/rx? 2) does the walkie talkie app come on the phone already? 3) if using roip apps such as zello, will the PTT work with them too? Thanks all. Hope you can answer some of these as this phone seems really neat.

With an extra battery is $207. it's in the cart for future purchase. I wonder if there is an adapter for an external antenna hook up? Tony KD5SSQ

@HamRadioConcepts
@HamRadioConcepts 7 лет назад
the app running in the background is still ok, the radio breaks in no matter what u are looking at on the phone, and it doesnt change to the app upon receive, you can also tx with the app in the background running.

@matthewpina4719 7 лет назад
8digitPDX that's what I was saying I'd rather have 8 Watt
@8digitPDX
@8digitPDX 7 лет назад
Yeah, it's a low wattage setup. A heck of a lot of good promise for having HAM enabled apps just built in. A friend of mine does all sorts of videos with a couple grand worth of high end HAM radio gear all cobbled together to do some basic text and picture messaging, but it has long setup times and requires a lot of menu options and programming on some tempermental android applications.

I have a bad feeling about this... It's running 12.5khz wide channels. aren't ham frequencies 5khz?
@AnthonyJohnson-plus
@AnthonyJohnson-plus 7 лет назад
12.5khz is narrow band. Most ham radio analog uses 25khz but digital uses 12.5khz though dstar only uses 6.25khz the only bad thing about that would be it'd sound bad when talking on a wideband channel.
@BEdmonson85
@BEdmonson85 6 лет назад
Nope, as Anthony says, it's 25k for wideband and 12.5k for narrowband. We're talking about the bandwidth of the signal not channel spacing.

Im no Ham, my work is licenced and we use them so pls excuse my ignorance. I wanted to use my Alinco sdr to sorta log all our calls from my house but cant.
@HamRadioConcepts
@HamRadioConcepts 6 лет назад
Should set the SDR to FM, wide, and if the radio is transmitting a CTCSS tone or PL tone the SDR needs to be set to listen to that tone.

@mrfyisms
@mrfyisms 7 лет назад
w8mpx You still need a license to transmit on amateur radio frequencies. Anybody can purchase a ham radio without a license. The only bad thing about this device, he did say it's only 1.5 watts.
@nbookie
@nbookie 7 лет назад
w8mpx so by your logic this phone is as deadly as a gun with 8 people killed a day and 1100+ injured by people texting and driving or walking into traffic. never mind the hundreds killed by people who used the phone to setup the murder.
