I picked up your channel recently while researching before pulling the trigger on a Gmrs for my Jeep. I have to watch your videos 2-3 times to get the info, the first watch I’m laughing my ass off in appreciation of your masterful subtle, smart ass, deadpan skills. You give great info that’s easy to digest especially for the people who just need a casual radio and don’t need to know the salinity of the ground to push their signal over the curvature of the earth. You’ve cleared up some things that I never really understood from my rf engineering classes in college. If you are ever near St. Louis MO, I’ll buy you a beer.

@klikmaus Год назад

My KSUN came in today, it's definately going to be a game changer for me at work. I live in North Texas, only licensed HAM and active NOAA SKYWARN storm spotter at my job, none of my Baofengs can pick up the local ARES repeater inside the plant I work in. This radio will eliminate that problem. Rule of thumb with adverse weather such as tornados... there's as much as 5 minutes from the time a tornado is spotted by a storm spotter before alerts are sent out on NOAA radio and cell phone alerts.

@RisingTidesAC Год назад

Randy I just want to mention that this is the first network radio I purchased because of its price. It worked flawlessly on WiFi but after inserting a SIM card the radio did not connect. After hours of research I discovered that all KSUN IMEI numbers are blacklisted by all US cell carriers. I don't know if this is still the case but I don't see how that could have changed. Just a caveat for potential buyers.

@kidthorazine Год назад

It's very possible the manufacturer is just using old blacklisted ones.

@jamesslick4790 Год назад

I like it. I can see use cases for it. Sometimes form factor is key for the best use. Sure, you CAN use Zello on your phone, But this form factor seems more natural for the service. It's the same reason why I use a compact digital camera with an OPTICAL viewfinder. Yeah, My phone has a nice camera, however I cannot hold it as steady and compose a shot as naturally as I can with an actual camera on my face! A "walkie-talkie" app with the form factor of a walkie-talkie is a great idea.

I like the idea. I still don't know how you call someone specifically (ie. Your friend Chris!) These still seem to be better used for commercial applications, like cab drivers, hotel / resort staff, job site and factory workers. People who need clear audio, at the push of a button, NOT dialing a phone. Even eldery people, to call relatives, or for help! (Because my father does NOT want a cell phone!) Fun fact: The Ga. State Patrol tried something similar, 30 years ago, but it never worked good enough. We still have many areas of our state with dead cell phone service! So they dumped it, and later went digital, VHF radios!

I'm curious how well the radios will work on the cellular network, via the Data SIM Card? If Zello allows 'talk groups', without a repeater, one could in theory have a digital talk group, via Zello, with a cellular data connection. Reminds me of the Nextel PTT Feature. Depending if Zello allows semi-private groups on their network, I see many possibilities for these radios. Thanks for sharing! :)

@acidreign8551 Год назад

Well, it is a kind of niche thing. It is more convenient in some cases, i bet your loving it for your repeater there. Our GMRS repeater for our group isn't on Zello, and i am pretty sure the owner would not want to put it on there and make that public as we have enough problems as it is with local sad ham jammers. I could see it as a help to our local jamming problems possibly, but i don't know anything about setting up a repeater on Zello and if a repeater can be on Zello with access into it controlled and private, If it can, that would be a godsend to those in our group that cannot get over the jammers on our nets and so forth which is relentless. We have also recently had a member or two move out of state, and some that go out of town for weeks at a time once in a while, and Zello would allow them to still play radio with us. And we do miss our friends. I will have to look into Zello. But i can see the usefulness of this device. Thank you mighty Prince of Xenu! 😀

I just recently got an old OpenSky digital military/civil service IP radio kit (radio, repeater, RF combiner) (Harris/Tyco brand) and I had a big oof (and jaw-dropping) moment after discovering all the additional stuff that I need get just to use the damned thing! Even if I got the stuff, I would still need to get an expensive license just to even hit the PTT button! Still tempting to get all the rack mount equipment for it, and the radio (with repeater) is nice, but yikes! IP radio might have some faults/limitations, but it sure is a pretty nifty technology! Edit: I should also mention that the radios themselves, even for being small, ARE FREAKING HEAVY!

@billelkins994 Год назад

I have two of these. I use them to keep in touch with my sisters. As we are all old people calling out "I've fallen and I can't get up" is much easier than dialing a cellphone. Also my state has cellphone laws about driving and touching a cellphone. Two way radios are ok. Sort of an inter-resident intercom. The ones I have don't switch from wifi to the sim card reliably so I always use the sim card. The sim cards are from eiotclub and provide 720 MEGAbytes of data. Sim cost is $50 US and has a two year life. I don't think they sell that anymore. They do have 360 MEGAbytes 360 day for $27 US. Do not use for time critical events. Telling the backing up cement truck operator "Stop! Stop! Stop!" May not be heard for a few seconds or a minute, possibly never.

The FCC has an old rule about not allowing you to connect to "The Public Switched Telephone Network" - which is NOT the same as the internet, so by my (non attorney) interpretation of that rule, you may connect Zello to a repeater, as thousands do every day. The real question is, even if the FCC did NOT allow it, would they care or do anything? and the answer to that, based on the FCCs history of going after violators since 2012 is a hard "NO" ..
