right. A bunch of computer stuff. Well, that's kind of cool.
Intended Genius flex radio. I wonder what he wants for that? Hmm.
That one's uh, it says intenda Genius, but it's not the Flex version.
Although I think that Flex version's actually not made by them. I think
they put their name on it. So ooh, maestro cover. There you
go. Look at that sweet Okay, I'm not have to see what he
wants for that? It is? That is a Maestro? Yes, he
said, what is it? It looks like a Version one cause it's got
the button on the top. Here mine is a Version two has a button
on the side. There you go. I like that cover. I've never
seen a cover like that before, so yeah, that's what that is.
That's probably a nope. Oh that's his my stroke bag. Okay, I
thought there might be radio in there, but there's not. Well, there's
an any tone ten and eleven meter radio. Look at that. Here we
go. You never know what that's different? Okay, Ken would t t
W forty one hundred some Windham antennas there. Yeah, there's a lot of
uh arts and crafts here, honestly too many. There needs to be more
electronics on tables and less pieces of cloth our finder. Look at that.
So yeah, more needle point or whatever that is. I don't even know.
There's some test equipment here smoking ape in the chat. Hm. That's
fun. Ninety eight point one megahertz FM broadcast station. Hey, what were

this guy had a on this table here. He had a what looked like
a brand new It was used, but it would look very new. A
link O dr went thirty five te that I bought from him, And that's
gonna be the radio I put in my truck for my mobile eye Gate.
I'd be wanting to build cause repeater builder makes that interface for the back of
those monoband a Linko radios that interfaces directly into a Raspberry Pie and you can
do what you want to on it. So that's gonna be the that's gonna
be the mobile eye Gate soon than one. Now I've got I've got one
of those radios at home, but it's two twenty so I was wanting one
for two meters so I can do one forty four three nine. Obviously.
This is Jim, the Futer guy that I was talking about it Belton and
a couple of the ham Fest where I had him. Don says he's got
the full forty version of the linko. That's what he used it for All
Star. Yeah, I don't have a full forty one. I've got two
or three, got three different two twenty ones. I love the two twenty
band, of course, but that's the first two meter when I got so
im looking forward to building that out cam threads, Hey pick up. I
got this Arden set up here. If this guy's doing a forum, I
think next hour. He's got this ardent set up right here, trying to
get Arden more active in the Oklahoma area. Frequent seven pot kind of neat.
And there's some hardline for you, a hundred feet of seven eight hardline
right there. Shoesh excuse me? What a bunch of used stuff here.
It's pretty much all that. The only new vendor here is EMTC, and
he's on that. He's on that back table right there. EMPTC is so
cover twenty nine with bluetooth in it. Yeah I should no, no,
yeah, I was wondering if he was going to be here at that He
was at the show last year. Yeah, no, I know, I
know. I texted him a while ago and he and I were going to
meet up, but we didn't. We couldn't mess our schedules together. So
okay, all right, does he does he still live in that same house?

it looked like he was on the road a lot though, on his bike.
Ask you about it? Yeah right, yeah, yeah, good good,
Yeah I missed talking to him though. Yeah, I know what I
know. This is Lee's table. He's always got some really cool stuff,
don't I don't want to contract and contract those well, let me think about
it. It's Lenny, you know, negotiation. Here go, Jason.
Everybody needs a brand new in the box in seventeen? Is that actually brand
new? Wow? As clean as a pan? Look at that? Wow?
Huh? Obtain how much you want for that? Lee? Six fifty?
Okay, how much for me? Seven fifty six point fifty one?
A brand new dm D sevent g A yeah, that's right. Yeah,
the box looks like he's a little bit beat up. But shelf, shelf,
weere that that face does look cherry though. Let's see, these are
some Android tablets he got forty bucks. They're running Android seven though, so
a little bit a little bit outdated. This is a cool military radio right
here, he said, Guys are taking these old face plates off and putting
new LCD touch screens on him with a VFO knob. That's kind of neat.
He's got quite a bit of Motorola radios right there too. Seventy five
fifties, sixty five fifties, seventy five eighties. Oh here you go,
two meters amplifier one to twenty wats in, two hundred wats out and then
the building and met Billy gets the ground to the bad building and the ground.
This guy's got a nine ninety one. That's not the A model.
See Keith Kidd right here this one, Mike, is that the one you're
talking about. There's a couple of them around here. You have any questions
from interesting three to thirteen mega hurts ten watts in ninety one, hundred wats
out. I got an old YESU amp. Then we'll do that. Uhh,
Tokyo high power two meter all mode amp two to ten wats in thirty
five to eighty out. Interesting kind of reminds me of my basement all that.

That's what happened out the Kinwood two meter Kinwood. Oh, this guy the
t M twenty five fifty a meter fifty one and the AMP two meters amplifier.
Jay's u f L twelve hundred B. I have one of those.
Yes, but that is that's pretty much it. I thought this was a
neat looking rig. What do you talk about ken Yeah? Uh JF commercial
a mic. What's Lee's call sign? The Kenwood mob like the kin would?
Oh, the his call sign is eighty five I G Alpha Brother five
India Golf. Than he's in Dallas. We talk on simplex sometimes there's a
pretty good simplex channel two meters simplex channel throughout DFW that gets used. So
but that's kind of it. Not a really big show. This show used
to be bigger years ago. I mean, it's never a bad idea to
go to a hamfest. I just got up this morning and drove up here
about an hour and a half, reigning the whole way, and uh oh,
here we go. Look at this. I see two at two meters.
As far as I know, they don't have ton boards in them,
but yeah, they generally don't. But you can add him. I think,
ye kind of neat. I used to have one of these a long
time ago. But that that's pretty pretty much it. They could sell a
lot more tables. You want to be on camera? Hello, everybody,
we're on the wrong hand of the camera. That's right, Yeah, yeah,
everybody should be here. T Man, right, that's T Man in
the chat side. Yeah, that's right. Yeah, yeah, you too.

okay, good okay, yeah, yeah, I know the other day on
Simplex, Yes, yes, yeah, yes, somebody was just asking about
Lee and I'm like, he's on Simplex all the time, so yeah,
yeah, yeah, yeah, so yeah, yeah, that's right, right
right. Well, see, and I go to my hunting lease in Forestburgh
and there's two or three guys up there around the Springtown Decatur area and they're
on it. And then the guys way out and like he's Plano Richardson.
They're on it and I'm like, you guys can't hear each other. So
everybody's using frequency at the same time, which is cool. Yeah, but
it's it's a fun. It's fun to be on for sure. It's good
to meet you. Yeah, you too. What's up, David? I
saw you earlier, buddy, How are you? You can see you try
not to? Yeah, I was dark back there, all right. So
anyway, that's it pretty much. Several tables here are kind of empty,
and you know, the rain probably had a factor in it. It's been
raining, cats and dogs all day. Woke up at about five this morning
it was raining, let the dogs out they were soaking wet coming back in,
and then drove all the way up here an hour and a half.
Should have taken me about an hour and thirty five minutes according to Google.
Took me about an hour and fifty minutes. Fifty five minutes. But I
did stop for breakfast, drove through McDonald's for breakfast sandwich, but it took
longer, but just because there was puddles of water on parts of the highway,
people driving slow. I drove slow, and part of it kind of
hard to see. It was dark out, but I always get to get
out to a Hamfest, regardless of how big or small it is, So
thanks thanks for following along with me. I think I'm probably gonna walk back
up see see how the rain is outside, walk back out to the truck
and head back home because I got some I'm gonna be putting together mystery boxes
today because I was gonna do that this week and I just ran out of
time. So BUCkies for breakfast not Pickton. Yeah, there is a I
didn't go buy a BUCkies on the way here. There's one. No,
wait a minute, I did not go buy a BUCkies in the way here.
There's a BUCkies on thirty five vee coming up out of Denton, but
I didn't go that way I went. I went on thirty five W coming
up through Fort Worth area, So I didn't actually pass the BUCkies. But
that's okay, hey, but that's okay. Uh. I have the O

price on that. Speakers of Presentations, Yes, there's two forum rooms.
