I love the VX6 so much, I can’t recommend Baofengs to anyone who actually wants to use their radio. I made a 98 mile contact last week from 8000’. The Baofeng’s sensitivity and squelch struggles every time I go hiking. Neat to have, but a Japanese radio is night and day difference. Plus the 5 watts your Japanese radio puts out is all where you need it. Baofengs may be just within spec for spurs, but your power meter still counts all power leaving the radio, on frequency or not.

I'd love to see an updated VX-6. Not sure how much more they could cram into that little baby though, and the size and weight are part of it's charm.

But as the prices go up(thx to inflation and taxes), it is $43 now. Greetings from Türkiye.

@ZHaunDK 3 месяца назад

i would avoid the high end handhelds for the single reason that they are limited tightly to the bandplan. the chinese radios can can rx/tx on pmr466, gmrs, marine, frnet, jagtradio and a variety of frequencies here in scandinavia. marine being the most important here due to the fact that marine channels are pretty much globally used. in a real SHTF problem, i worry more about getting in comms than hiding out on an obscure band. i dont break the rules, but that doesnt mean i will follow them no matter what happens. living on the baltic coast with warnings of war is a little different than dealing with dead cell towers.

In the last segment of your video when you are talking about BNC connectors you have an antenna with a long orange wire, what is that? What is the name or brand so I can do some research, perhaps add it to your links section? I would like something similar with a better gain when using a hand held.

@JanPeterson Месяц назад

Can you recommend a good tri-band (2m, 1.25m, 70cm) HT antenna with a BNC on it? I've been looking and haven't found one. I swear these used to be available, but I haven't had much luck. I know that the Signal Stick guy has a prototype for a tri-band antenna, but he says it's not ready for prime time yet.

@stevehildreth1934 3 месяца назад

I have several HT's, none expensive, Both GMRS and VHF/UHF. And, I have a couple mag mount antennas for my vehicles. They work, that said I will also say they don't work well. For me money is an issue. I just can't go out and spend over a thousand dollars on radio gear to set up an emcom or portable system. I can judicially pick up used equipment that fills my need and budget. Just research and know what to look for and how much to pay for things before buying. Hamfests are a great place and fellow hams will get you into some great gear just to help you out and into the club!

@MaryBrownForFreedom 3 месяца назад

1.25m actually does better propagation wise than 2m or 70cm... it hits a sweet spot in foliage penetration with the longer range of the 2m band... 100 watts 1.25m SSB to a short 10 element yagi netted me a 1,000 mile contact last summer!

Aftermarket batteries are totally acceptable to me if available to provide these capabilities. These are buildout items for "grab and go" kits.

I’ll post in discord too, but can I’m rocking a Yaesu FTM-7250DR in my truck and shack. I also have a FT-70D connected to a Mobilinkd TNC4. The problem is u can’t hit other APRS repeaters from my house with a 5w HT, so can I use the Mobilinkd with my mobile radios?

@John_Henry83 3 месяца назад

Josh can I suggest a video? If you go hiking or like me motorcycle camping. ( I do not consider pulling up in a car or suv and pitching a tent really camping ) You are going to be carrying a few things other than you ham equipment that might require power. What comes to mind is a laptop, cellphone, solar powered lanterns, head lamps, flash light e.t.c. If I carry a LIPO battery, a fold up solar panel, and a solar charge controller I would need to know the current draw of each device in order to know what capacity solar panel and battery I should carry. I have never seen a video on how to measure the current draw on these type of devices. I have seen a few on measuring the current draw of a radio.

I've heard some say that satellite phones are more practical and easy in survival scenarios than ham radio, e.g. HF. I'm a Ham so want them to be useful but could you do a comparison between pros and cons of both in a survival situation? To be trying to be impartial satellite seems pretty much the winner based on ease of use and accuracy, only downside I guess would be if you think satellites would be down as well.

@HamRadioCrashCourse 12 дней назад

It's a good option for layering comms, but sat phones suffer from their being someone else's platform. You're just paying to use it. HF radio is entirely under your control and within your hands.

I can hit 15 or so 2M and 440 repeaters from inside my house with it (I'm on a hill overlooking most of Utah county, Utah) but on 220 I can't even tickle any of the six or seven 220 repeaters in Utah county!! I can't get no satisfaction, can't even kerchunk one even standing out on my lawn. But do you really think I would just kerchunk a repeater? Now would I do something like that? It's time in Leavenworth of you get caught ya know.
