Im an amatur radio operator, so watching this was intresting. Couple of comments. First, about your last: this is true for army, or police or whatever - use the equipment you are trained on and comfortable with. the middle of an emergency (or firefight) is not the time to be figuring out how to use the features on the radio. Second. It was beautiful. It was like watching a caveman describe nuclear physics and getting it right. Aside from some vocab stuff (most of which is pedantic anyway) you could have taught an amateur Novice training class.
Couldn't agree more. Don't get sucked into the caveman thing by the F-bombs. I had the chance to sit in on some stuff that Chuck taught at Friends of Pat. Chuck is a fiercely intelligent individual. If you think his knowledge is broad here, wait until he starts talking night vision. Guy is one of the foremost experts on the planet in using it operationally. Very glad I talked to him before I bought. Two words: 2600 FOM (WP x 2).
Oh, I agree. I've watched a bunch of stuff on P&S hes done. I can say I sleep better at night knowing people like him are at the tippy tip of the spear when it comes to national defense.
Lots of great information here, Chuck. All I knew of radios was the damn PRC-77s we could get when I was a ROTC cadidiot. And i like "fishing - Fighting In Someone's House". First learned that term from Chappy who said at that point "fighting in shitholes" I'm definitely going to point my buddy who's a commo guy at this content.
Awesome you mention Sabre. Those were used with great effect for rough-up purposes by NYPD back in the day. I know for a fact that Uncle Pat put a few turbans on people with them :)
I'm private sector and not a commo dude, but here's my $0.02: I like the Wouxon KGUV9D+. It's easy to program, rugged, low cost, and works well for VHF/UFH assault net comms. While it doesn't have the multi band capabilities of the MBITR, you can at least RX the airband to know what's going on. We have different best use cases and backgrounds, so obviously we may disagree, but I wanted to throw it out there for state side use with what most of your viewers actually use thier radios for.
Chuck, thanks for your service man! I live just 15 mins south of fort polk La, bet u spent some time there bubba! Man please consider a pistol and carbine course down this way!!!! Merry Christmas sir. Brad
Wtf! Where was this my last 3 deployments. Commo fucks need to see/show us this. Thanks for the info. I’m late to P&S I’ve listened to you on 2-3 podcasts. Thanks again. Sent the 3 videos to all my dudes.
Hi, men i need your help, my prc148 tri, dont transmit to baofeng 888s radio, the baofeng radio can transmit and hear it on my prc, but when i talk dont listen my voice in baofeng, but the indkcator light on baofeng is on when i press the ptt. Do you know if is something with menu.?
@@6.8SuperDutyDriver It`s not, its a replica. Not secure of encrypted at all. How ever the real deal did not have secure on the whole range, only on the higher freq.
Yeah, it's one of those, "not available to the public" Kind of bad ass things. we cant get them. I dont know if its just because shakespeare doesn't want to sell, or if its actually got classified tech.
I didn't even know they made a gooseneck model of that antenna!!! Time to make few phone calls. I would love to test gooseneck mounted to radio and routed under my armpit with the antenna pointing away rearward VS Remoting to the back of my armor and routing up my back plate.
Please please please set your camera on something steady! It looks like you have it helmet mounted and every micro shift of your head is captured in wonderful, nauseating detail. I’m sure you have good things to say about the radio but I simply couldn’t watch the whole thing because of the movement. It really takes away from what you’re trying to do.
