Radioddity Baofeng UV-5RM Plus: Power Test 

That’s great to hear, thank you for watching 👍

Thanks for the info TMK, it’s helpful 👍

Thanks for watching BA 👍

Thanks John, there will be additional tests of this radio.

I’ve done adjacent signal rejection and SINAD test videos on other HT radios, I plan to do the same with this…

Hey Dan, if you want to send any copies of the notes over the thesmokinape @ gmailDOTcom I'd love to check them out. Good luck on the test.

@TheSmokinApe will do Ape. The books tell you to learn all words in italics. Only about 1/3 of the words in italics are actually on the test. There is easily 4 times more information in these books that is on the test. I am also making so.e diagrams and actually working out the math problems without memorizing the answers. In many questions the answer given is "D, all of the above choices are correct". I write down all the answers. I am writing out, by hand the questions and answers to all 450 questions in both books. These books are excellent!!! Many say you don't need this much info on the how and why to get on the air. I disagree. I'm not gonna bet opinionated about this though, too many hams are way to opinionated -reminds me a lot of the gun culture! It's all good. I seek people like you and Dave. The hobby deserves deep learning, education, and dedication. I also bought the huge ARRL Antenna book and will read most of that too. I am planning a full wave 80 meter horizontal delta loop. Not sure of I told you I bought my first radio, with all the Yaesu extras. All used. The Yaesu FT-1000MP mark V. Will send you much data on my notes, study habits, flashcards, and my test scores. I will have had the books for 22 days before I take the test! But studying about 5 hours a day (OK I'm a little intesnse) I'm a homesteader who gardens. Have orchard, chickens, rabbits, bees, etc. I teach homesteading for free and do many old time types of things our grandfather's used to do. I am just a novice at ham, brand new, so not trying be an expert. I'm a loner who won't be on RU-vid, but I learn all the time. Just wanting to share some old school study habits (I invented nothing) but I believe there is a lot better way than memorizing the Q and A. The bands deserve better. The hobby deserves better. Thank you Ape.

P.S. Ape: by the amount of dedication you put into your hobby and channel I easily predict your channel will grow exponentially. Good to see a hard working dude win. You honor the hobby Sir. -Dan

@@user-os3ri3ky5g Dave is great, I’ve learned a ton from his videos. Sounds like your gonna have that test on lock down 👍

I would agree

you might be right about that, thanks for catching that 👍

We’re gonna find out 👍

Mine dose, except on air band.

I’d agree that Baofengs generally are consistently inconsistent 👍

It ain’t the meter mister 😮

@@TheSmokinApe 😂😂😂😂

No idea, didn’t test that

Maybe the Plus is for more power, didn’t see anything in the manual about it 🤔

@@TheSmokinApe

I believe that, thanks for the info 👍

Hey Adam, thanks for watching 👍

I don’t think this one was but I’m sure one of the TID radios I got sent was 👍

@@TheSmokinApe It would be nice if they would give you a voucher so you could get the radio of a place if you choosing

For sure

I’m wondering if they are all like this?

@@TheSmokinApemine is.

What frequency?

@@TheSmokinApe GMRS

@@TTV_VRT you probably have the Ham version and not the GMRS

@@TheSmokinApe f

@@TheSmokinApe thx for the help

Corn fed power 🌽

Come on now, it's a BooFwang - you know the answer to that.

We’ll find out 🤔

Lol

Lol

You don’t like cat videos?

@@TheSmokinApe my my, why does every YT ham have an issue when other operators mention product pandering? I honestly feel that when you are given a product for free or to review for free there’s no way a real honest review can be had. My opinion of course…. But to be told to go watch a cat video doesn’t give the warm and fuzzy for me to subscribe.

My friend, I really couldn't care less if you subscribe or not. I didn't ask you to... I am not sure if you are new to the channel or not but I do empirical tests and let the results speak for themselves, I am not peddling or pandering any product. I have no vested interest in what equipment you use. i.e., I don't care. If you do watch my videos, you would see that I regularly give bad reviews to products I am sent all the time. I turn down vendors all the time, because I know their product is junk. I have a long line of upset vendors in my wake for being honest about what they are selling. While I would agree that most Ham Tubers unbox and push crap on their views, I am not one of them and it's a little offensive for you to assume that. Now, it might be best for you to go get your warm a fuzzy watching cat videos...

@@TheSmokinApe Ouch, you really let me have it.. So wounded....

Maybe cat videos will help….

Apparently 👍
