While we were down on the Texas Coast immediately after Hurricane Beryl checking on our home, we experienced a total grid down scenario. All power was lost in this area of the coast due to the Hurricane. It's time to get out the fun stuff! We were able to supply power to most of the home and establish communications when cell towers were not operable.
This is a quick video with brief descriptions to keep the video short, so check out the links below for the full information specs on each of the items we used to have power and stay in touch!

I didn’t know anybody still had autopatch capability on repeaters. It’s a good thing for emergencies. Autopatches were great before cellphones. :)

@diy_smith 2 месяца назад

Another option would be a solar generator. Most of them have a 24 volt lithium ion phosphate battery with a regulated 13.8 volt power outlet and inverter. Most can function as a UPS and of course offer solar charging capability. Which may not be that big a deal in a hurricane when there’s no sun. You basically choose what size inverter you want. The one I’ve seen has a 2400 watt inverter witha 2400 watt hour battery. So when you’re using the 13.8 V power outlet it is direct DC. The inverter can be utilized or left turned off.

@FirstUnitedTactical 2 месяца назад

@diy_smith Man, a 2400 WH battery is insane! I looked at different ones like 4Patriot and others no name brands on Amazon before this setup. I love the idea of a solar panel to charge the power source, but that entire setup costs more than this setup. After it's all said and done, a solar setup with inverter generator would be better. You live and learn! Thanks for the info bud!

Amazing video

@FirstUnitedTactical 2 месяца назад

@thomasthewatchman Appreciate it Watch Guru! I forgot to show a Pic or talk about my antenna. Tram 1486 UHF. (2nd oldest video I made). I am going to make another specific video for that GoldenMate, AND I'm ordering the Radioddity DB50 to replace the truck BTECH 50v2 soon.

I just bought a full bundled set of Tidradio TD-H3. Comes with 2 radios, 4 batteries, 2 chargers, 4 antennas, and 2 programming cables, $80+ on Amazon. Receives 8 bands and will also transmit on any frequency you can unlock. 😎

@FirstUnitedTactical 2 месяца назад

Yeppers! Does it transmit on 27mhz yet, CB? I know a new update came out and allowed it to receive, but back then it wouldn't transmit.

@royrobinson4636 2 месяца назад

@@FirstUnitedTactical ~ I haven't tried to hack into the CB Band yet, but I understand (from Little Birdies) that it is possible with a TD-H3.

Hi I also have the tyt th-9800 quad band how do I unlock it for gmrs? Can you help me???

@FirstUnitedTactical 2 месяца назад

I googled TYT 9800 Unlock and got a lot of links. I used this page from Radioddity and it walked me through it step by step. Unlocked in GMRS it will push about 25W max, just so you know. I have talked to them, and they informed me that the db50 is just like it, dual band, but it pushes 40w on GMRS and UHF. I will be buying that one because 15W difference is a huge deal. I love my tyt, because it does 10m, and the db50 does not, so I will definately keep the tyt as a home base and the db50 will replace my truck radio, BTECH 50v2... Check out this link for the unlock: www.radioddity.com/blogs/all/th-9800-unlock

@Novoworks 2 месяца назад

uhm... why not just run the radio on the 12v battery you have vs using a 12v to 110v inverter, to then go from a 110v to DC power supply -- losing efficiency along the way. I just run my radio off the 12v+ LifePo4 battery 👍

@FirstUnitedTactical 2 месяца назад

@Novoworks You need a 110 switching supply to provide 13.8+ volts required by the radio. You can receive all day long with the normal 12v, but it won't transmit properly. That would be easy, but it requires more power that a 12v supply. I used to think the exact same thing until I actually did it without the BTECH supply, and it wouldn't even key up. (That was on 15-30 at 50w).

@Novoworks 2 месяца назад

@@FirstUnitedTactical I haven't had any issues with transmission, but again you can run a buck converter stepping up to the 13.8v for around $30

@FirstUnitedTactical 2 месяца назад

@Novoworks you're right, a buck converter would do the trick. We have always had switching supplies and that's just what I've stuck with. I used to have a true variable supply, but when I would transmit on 50w, it would drop, so when I turned it up, at rest the radio would be higher and I didn't want to cause damage. That's why I just stick with this one. There's always ways around things, especially in this industry.
