But 9 00:00:54.159 --> 00:00:59.799 forty five the A C and the shack works because I'm having a shack, 10 00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:06.480 an actual hamshack that's a building in my backyard, and that air conditioner works 11 00:01:06.480 --> 00:01:11.239 just fine. That one. That one works. Actually, it's probably not 12 00:01:11.359 --> 00:01:18.079 quite big enough for the hamshack because last year it was running most of the 13 00:01:18.120 --> 00:01:22.480 day. We haven't we haven't really gotten hot in North Texas until like about 14 00:01:22.480 --> 00:01:26.920 a week ago, and we're talking about AC being out in the chat. 15 00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:29.719 Good afternoon, everybody, it is twelve oh one. Thank you for joining 16 00:01:29.760 --> 00:01:33.400 the lunchtime livestream today. I'm just talking talking to forty five Auto in there 17 00:01:33.439 --> 00:01:36.239 because he's talking about how he hadn't turned his AC on yet this year, 18 00:01:36.879 --> 00:01:42.680 and I'm like, yeah, well, I have my bedrooms upstairs, our 19 00:01:42.680 --> 00:01:47.920 acre upstairs. AC went out on Sunday night, and it's been hard to 20 00:01:47.959 --> 00:01:51.280 sleep because it's all just kind of sticky. Now it's been raining, started 21 00:01:51.359 --> 00:01:55.599 raining on Monday. It's been cloudy, muggy, and humid. Not too 22 00:01:55.640 --> 00:02:01.640 hot since then, but still not pleasant. And if I'm sweating and sticking, 23 00:02:01.760 --> 00:02:05.159 my arms are sticking to my side, I don't sleep very well. 24 00:02:05.200 --> 00:02:10.159 So I haven't had a decent night's sleep and probably two nights I don't know. 25 00:02:10.879 --> 00:02:14.319 We'll see A C guy is supposed to come out. Myc's under warranty 26 00:02:14.400 --> 00:02:16.039 until twenty twenty seven because we put a new one in twenty seventeen. It 27 00:02:16.039 --> 00:02:20.199 had a ten year warranty. MYC guy's out of town. I use a 28 00:02:20.240 --> 00:02:24.360 small company, single independent, independently owned. Dude did a great job in 29 00:02:24.400 --> 00:02:28.120 the North Texas area. If anybody needs an AC guy, but he's been 30 00:02:28.159 --> 00:02:29.759 out of town. I was like, why do you go out of town 31 00:02:29.800 --> 00:02:34.680 in June? In Texas? Bro? Oh my goodness. So he's supposed 32 00:02:34.680 --> 00:02:37.759 to be back today, so hopefully. I don't know. I'm trying to 33 00:02:37.800 --> 00:02:38.919 get him to come out tonight, but it might be moral.

But I got a couple of 61 00:04:39.600 --> 00:04:43.439 links I want to share with you guys today, And usually when I do 62 00:04:43.480 --> 00:04:46.439 these live streams around Amazon Day, they're pretty well received, so I wanted 63 00:04:46.480 --> 00:04:48.519 to talk about that today. I have a question, where can we start 64 00:04:49.079 --> 00:04:57.199 a class to learn? Where? Where can we start a class to learn 65 00:04:57.439 --> 00:05:00.639 your radio here in Oklahoma. Every time I ask, it's like being thrown 66 00:05:00.639 --> 00:05:06.839 out to was with no direction. I'm hoping you're David. I hope you 67 00:05:06.920 --> 00:05:11.839 use voice to text because that's not English. You're typing in there. That's 68 00:05:11.839 --> 00:05:15.879 almost like frank type that. I'm just teasing you if I understand what you're 69 00:05:15.879 --> 00:05:19.319 asking. You're asking, where can we start a class to learn radio? 70 00:05:19.399 --> 00:05:24.680 Okay, so I'm glad you asked that question. If you're asking how to 71 00:05:24.759 --> 00:05:29.959 get your first Ham radio license? Okay, here is my suggestion to you. 72 00:05:30.199 --> 00:05:33.519 Right now. You go to my YouTube channel right here, and you 73 00:05:33.600 --> 00:05:39.519 scroll down to this very first row. This is usually a channel trailer at 74 00:05:39.519 --> 00:05:43.879 the top. Here this very first row getting your first Ham radio license. 75 00:05:44.319 --> 00:05:47.639 This second video right here is four ways to get your Ham radio license, 76 00:05:47.680 --> 00:05:51.800 four places to study, four places to get the material. And this get 77 00:05:51.800 --> 00:05:56.000 your first Ham Radio license now is an actual class that was put on by 78 00:05:56.079 --> 00:06:00.079 Dan KB six in you in last November. That question pool is good for 79 00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:04.199 another three years, so you can do that right there. And I am 80 00:06:04.240 --> 00:06:12.319 happy I haven't announced this yet, but um yeah kq h x Q, 81 00:06:12.519 --> 00:06:15.480 yeah, you're right about that. I haven't announced this yet, but Chris 82 00:06:15.519 --> 00:06:18.040 Caught or Katie five, Hi Y and myself. Now those of you who 83 00:06:18.079 --> 00:06:24.800 don't who might remember Chris, he is the one who taught the technician class 84 00:06:25.160 --> 00:06:29.399 live stream that we did on this channel in twenty twenty was summer of twenty 85 00:06:29.439 --> 00:06:31.800 twenty. So the Hirst Dammate Radio Club, which is about twenty minutes that 86 00:06:31.879 --> 00:06:39.199 direction, it's the most active club that I'm a member of, and they 87 00:06:39.279 --> 00:06:45.439 would hold free technician in general classes twice a year, usually in the fall 88 00:06:45.519 --> 00:06:48.879 and the h and the spring every year. Well, when COVID came around 89 00:06:48.920 --> 00:06:55.680 in early twenty twenty, there they're EOC. They're meeting places inside of a 90 00:06:55.720 --> 00:06:59.399 fire station. Well the government controlled agency. We couldn't go there. We 91 00:06:59.639 --> 00:07:02.920 spent a whole year not be able to go to the fire station doing zoom 92 00:07:02.920 --> 00:07:06.600 meetings over zoom. So when that happened, I reached out to the club 93 00:07:06.680 --> 00:07:10.560 and Chris and I said, hey, y'all want to do a live stream 94 00:07:11.279 --> 00:07:14.360 about the technician class. And it's on this channel now. And even though 95 00:07:14.360 --> 00:07:15.959 that question pool expired about a year ago, I still get a lot of 96 00:07:16.040 --> 00:07:19.879 views and comments on that video. He does a deep dive into all and 97 00:07:20.000 --> 00:07:24.480 he follows the W five YI material does a deep dive into all the things. 98 00:07:25.040 --> 00:07:29.360 The class that's on my channel now by Dan KB six in You is 99 00:07:29.439 --> 00:07:32.399 a no nonsense study guide's He gives you the bare minimum you need to pass 100 00:07:32.480 --> 00:07:36.199 the test. The Hearst Club does a deep dive and they explain the question. 101 00:07:36.240 --> 00:07:40.160 They explain the answer, they explain why the answer is whatnot. Some 102 00:07:40.199 --> 00:07:43.839 people like to learn one way, some people like to learn another way. 103 00:07:44.040 --> 00:07:46.839 Doesn't matter. Neither one is right, neither one is wrong. They both 104 00:07:46.879 --> 00:07:50.040 work. They're both going to get you licensed. So Chris is going to 105 00:07:50.079 --> 00:07:55.319 come back onto this channel with the new question pool that updated in July of 106 00:07:55.439 --> 00:07:57.959 last year. He's going to come back on this channel. We're going to 107 00:07:58.040 --> 00:08:01.319 do a three day live stream about new tech for new technicians at the end 108 00:08:01.360 --> 00:08:03.600 of July, about a month and a half from now. So more to 109 00:08:03.639 --> 00:08:07.040 come on that later. We've got a plan in place. I don't know, 110 00:08:07.319 --> 00:08:09.759 I know the exact dates, but I don't know the exact time yet, 111 00:08:09.120 --> 00:08:13.959 probably like a Thursday, Friday night and a Saturday morning, which I 112 00:08:13.959 --> 00:08:18.240 think is what we did last time. So we're we have that on the 113 00:08:18.279 --> 00:08:22.000 calendar and scheduled for the end of July, so just be watching for that. 114 00:08:22.639 --> 00:08:28.040 I'll be sending emails out about that, tweeting about it, putting it 115 00:08:28.040 --> 00:08:30.680 out on social media. Sign up on my email list Ham Radio two dot 116 00:08:30.680 --> 00:08:33.240 com, forward slash email dash sign up. Go check that out there and 117 00:08:33.480 --> 00:08:37.480 I'll send a bunch of emails about it. So anybody you know who wants 118 00:08:37.519 --> 00:08:41.080 to get licenses as an excellent opportunity to do so. It because Christa's a 119 00:08:41.080 --> 00:08:46.120 fantastic job of explaining why the answers are the way they are. And of 120 00:08:46.120 --> 00:08:48.200 course those will be replaced. You don't have to catch the live stream. 121 00:08:48.200 --> 00:08:50.840 They'll be replayable on the channel from now on, so just like the old 122 00:08:50.840 --> 00:08:56.519 one is. So yes, let's see, I would love a Ham Radio 123 00:08:56.519 --> 00:08:58.759 Happy I our T shirt. I need to get those on the website. 124 00:08:58.759 --> 00:09:03.559 They're ready. I need to get those on the website. Racer XO seven. 125 00:09:03.639 --> 00:09:07.960 I will see if I can do that this afternoon, En and Amateur 126 00:09:07.039 --> 00:09:09.879 Radio is trying to get a class going, but we don't have many interested 127 00:09:11.080 --> 00:09:15.840 persons. Great thing about doing a live stream is we don't really need anybody. 128 00:09:16.080 --> 00:09:18.320 There'll be people watching the chat, of course, but it's then it's 129 00:09:18.320 --> 00:09:24.519 replayable over and over and over again. So yeah, but en At Oklahoma 130 00:09:24.559 --> 00:09:26.080 has a really good ham RADI they have a ham Fest every year. They 131 00:09:26.159 --> 00:09:30.960 used to, I think they still do. But yeah, a good deal. 132 00:09:31.440 --> 00:09:33.440 So yeah, y'all. Let y'all let me know the best place to 133 00:09:33.480 --> 00:09:39.240 find well, that's study sessions. You can find classes on a r has 134 00:09:39.279 --> 00:09:43.120 a web page that where you can find classes. So all right, so 135 00:09:43.240 --> 00:09:48.080 let's hop into this real quick. I will say at the beginning, as 136 00:09:48.120 --> 00:09:52.600 an Amazon associate, I can earn commissions from qualifying purchases. It's kind of 137 00:09:52.639 --> 00:09:56.399 a thing that Amazon makes you say when you have a store. So anytime 138 00:09:56.440 --> 00:10:01.519 you guys click on any links from my store, or if you click on 139 00:10:01.559 --> 00:10:03.000 links from my store and don't buy anything at all, but then go buy 140 00:10:03.000 --> 00:10:07.240 toilet paper or something, I still can I can get. Not everything on 141 00:10:07.240 --> 00:10:11.759 Amazon has commissions, but some most everything does. So even when you are 142 00:10:13.600 --> 00:10:18.000 not buying stuff that's directly on my store, if you start your browser session 143 00:10:18.080 --> 00:10:24.960 by clicking on my store, it will continue to provide me with commissions for 144 00:10:24.000 --> 00:10:28.360 twenty four hours. They have a twenty four hour cookie on their website. 145 00:10:28.480 --> 00:10:31.919 So today is flag day. Yes it is. Yes, it is flag 146 00:10:33.000 --> 00:10:35.639 Day.

I should put my flag out. 147 00:10:37.399 --> 00:10:39.440 The guy, the construction guys are in and out of my front door, 148 00:10:39.480 --> 00:10:41.519 up and down the driveway. I didn't want them to. I thought 149 00:10:41.519 --> 00:10:43.639 about this morning. I thought, well, I don't want to get messed 150 00:10:43.679 --> 00:10:46.480 up. So I didn't put the flag out today. So let's talk about 151 00:10:46.480 --> 00:10:50.600 a couple of things first. That mute that. Let's talk about a couple 152 00:10:50.600 --> 00:10:56.360 of things first that are going on two websites before we get to Amazon. 153 00:10:56.919 --> 00:11:03.399 Okay, So hamrhid Bridge com is doing the Ultimate Smoked Ham Giveaway six thousand 154 00:11:03.399 --> 00:11:07.279 dollars value give away.

And again you can get five percent with the code of Ham 200 00:14:13.639 --> 00:14:16.720 Radio, So check that out. I've been very happy with my fifty M 201 00:14:16.759 --> 00:14:22.440 power battery. That is, I put it in a battery box and I 202 00:14:22.600 --> 00:14:24.960 use it that that auto dunk battery box that I got from Amazon. I 203 00:14:24.960 --> 00:14:31.039 did a video on that a while back. It's been it's been a killer. 204 00:14:31.200 --> 00:14:33.559 I've I've loved I've done lots of Poto activations with that. If you 205 00:14:33.600 --> 00:14:39.080 were at Daytenham vention, you saw that battery box sitting on on the table 206 00:14:39.120 --> 00:14:43.480 outside of my RV. Charlie comes by, Red sumitar F. Charlie comes 207 00:14:43.480 --> 00:14:46.759 by and he's like you guys, because Mike was with me. So Mike 208 00:14:46.799 --> 00:14:50.440 and I were camping together and uh, and he's like, you guys got 209 00:14:50.440 --> 00:14:52.240 a lot of battery boxes. We had like seven battery boxes out there. 210 00:14:52.240 --> 00:14:54.200 I was like, uh, Mike, and I don't play around. We 211 00:14:54.279 --> 00:14:58.600 got plenty of charging power coming by. It's fine. But one of those 212 00:14:58.639 --> 00:15:01.440 battery boxes had my fifty red Otto and it's been real happy with that battery. 213 00:15:03.480 --> 00:15:05.799 Charge it up, used it, charge it back up, used it 214 00:15:05.879 --> 00:15:07.360 several times, I don't know a dozen or so times since I made that 215 00:15:07.480 --> 00:15:11.360 video, and it's been I don't carry around a fifty mp hower battery with 216 00:15:11.399 --> 00:15:13.159 me everywhere I go, but I usually due to Poda. So it's been 217 00:15:13.200 --> 00:15:16.039 really good. I'm real happy. And that that little mini one hundred they've 218 00:15:16.039 --> 00:15:20.960 got's pretty slick. Also, it's one hundred amp hours. That's just slightly 219 00:15:20.000 --> 00:15:24.639 bigger than their fifty amp hour, so it it'll fit in a battery box 220 00:15:24.679 --> 00:15:28.240 and whatnot. So red Otto's a good supporter of the channel. They have 221 00:15:28.399 --> 00:15:30.919 sent me a few things, but they send me. They put me on 222 00:15:30.960 --> 00:15:33.840 their email list and said, hey, share our sales if you don't mind. 223 00:15:33.879 --> 00:15:39.879 I've done that several times and they are appreciative of that. So link 224 00:15:39.080 --> 00:15:43.480 is in the chat once again and the link to this and to the Everything 225 00:15:43.519 --> 00:15:50.440 we talked about today is in the description. So Enid Amateur Radio Hamfest on 226 00:15:50.440 --> 00:15:54.600 September ninth. Cool. All right, so this is my Amazon store. 227 00:15:54.799 --> 00:15:58.720 Oops, I was clicking around on stuff. I guess this is my Amazon 228 00:16:00.279 --> 00:16:06.200 and once again I can earn commissions from qualifying items there. So we're just 229 00:16:06.240 --> 00:16:11.480 going to go through everything that I put. I created this brand new Father's 230 00:16:11.559 --> 00:16:17.799 Day twenty twenty three gift idea list here. I created it last week. 231 00:16:17.840 --> 00:16:21.559 I talked about it on the Friday Shopping video, and then I have been 232 00:16:21.600 --> 00:16:23.159 adding to it since then, kind of a little bit here and there. 233 00:16:23.480 --> 00:16:30.519 I added a few items since a few items this morning actually, So this 234 00:16:30.600 --> 00:16:33.120 is pretty cool. Okay, So this if you guys remember that video that 235 00:16:33.240 --> 00:16:37.799 Josh put up like a year ago about a sixty twelve volt laptop. It's 236 00:16:37.840 --> 00:16:41.799 no longer sixty dollars. But this is the laptop, the Evolve three Maestro. 237 00:16:41.240 --> 00:16:49.559 It is twelve volt chargeable. In fact, they have these, they 238 00:16:49.600 --> 00:16:52.919 have these bear Wire. This doesn't come with it comes with its own charging 239 00:16:52.960 --> 00:16:57.159 cable, of course, but this bear Wire adapter right here, it comes 240 00:16:57.200 --> 00:17:03.399 with the perfect plug for that laptop. Then it comes with bare wires on 241 00:17:03.399 --> 00:17:06.000 the end, which of course I put power polls on so I can plug 242 00:17:06.079 --> 00:17:11.119 that laptop into any of my battery boxes and charge that laptop because it'll take 243 00:17:11.160 --> 00:17:14.400 up to like fourteen volts or something like that. So they were when Josh 244 00:17:14.400 --> 00:17:18.319 did that video. I think they sold out pretty quickly and then evolved got 245 00:17:18.359 --> 00:17:21.680 smart and raised the price on it, and then finally put them back on 246 00:17:21.759 --> 00:17:26.599 Amazon because they were out of stock for a long time. So ninety nine 247 00:17:26.599 --> 00:17:30.599 bucks is not a bad price for a laptop. But the cool thing about 248 00:17:30.599 --> 00:17:33.000 it is this is a great PODA or field day laptop. Field days in 249 00:17:33.039 --> 00:17:36.480 a week and a half. It's a great field day laptop because you can 250 00:17:36.480 --> 00:17:41.440 plug it into your battery box that you're running your radio from that you hopefully 251 00:17:41.480 --> 00:17:45.079 have a solar panel attached to, and boom, you're in business. This 252 00:17:45.119 --> 00:17:48.839 thing runs Hammers great. I've got all of the Flex Radio smart str the 253 00:17:48.960 --> 00:17:52.880 dacks and the cat control and all the all the software for smart SDR on 254 00:17:53.000 --> 00:17:59.759 this laptop. It runs it just fine. Mike runs. Mike has something 255 00:17:59.799 --> 00:18:02.720 on is that I don't have. I don't remember what it is. I 256 00:18:02.880 --> 00:18:07.920 we both run hammers, and we both run um oh in three FJP we're 257 00:18:07.920 --> 00:18:11.359 gonna be using for logging this week at at field Day next weekend, so 258 00:18:11.400 --> 00:18:12.279 I haven't put that on there yet, so I don't. I don't, 259 00:18:14.000 --> 00:18:15.720 I don't know, but I think it'll be fine. W s JTX works 260 00:18:15.759 --> 00:18:18.759 fine on it. We can plug in. It's got Bluetooth in it and 261 00:18:18.839 --> 00:18:22.359 that new FX four CR radio with Bluetooth. I connected it to this evolved 262 00:18:22.400 --> 00:18:29.720 Maestro laptop and guess what it bluetooths. It connects and recognize it has cat 263 00:18:29.759 --> 00:18:34.839 control and boom it is there. So not the greatest um, not the 264 00:18:34.880 --> 00:18:38.559 greatest quality laptop in the world. It is a little bit. You gotta 265 00:18:38.559 --> 00:18:41.519 be careful with it. The screen's a little weird. Frank bought one and 266 00:18:41.559 --> 00:18:48.359 says is in a constant boot loop and he never has gotten to use is. 267 00:18:48.400 --> 00:18:49.799 However, I bought like six of them, and I gave away three 268 00:18:49.880 --> 00:18:52.480 or four of them. I've got three left. My wife wanted one, 269 00:18:52.519 --> 00:18:56.640 so I gave one to her. Hers works fine. She just wanted something 270 00:18:56.880 --> 00:18:59.880 small and lightweight to carry around. It's not her main laptop, but she 271 00:19:00.079 --> 00:19:02.960 does use it from time to time. And then uh, and then I've 272 00:19:02.960 --> 00:19:04.839 got a spare back up that I that I booted up one time and it 273 00:19:04.880 --> 00:19:07.200 works, but I haven't. I don't take it out, but I keep 274 00:19:07.279 --> 00:19:12.920 this in my UM Gigaparts explore backpack where I keep a lot of antennas and 275 00:19:14.240 --> 00:19:17.880 feedline and in fed halfway of antennas and whatnot to take out to Poda. 276 00:19:18.000 --> 00:19:21.839 So ninety nine bucks, it's not sixty bucks anymore, but it's still twelve 277 00:19:22.200 --> 00:19:26.559 chargeable and there's only five lest says there's five left in stock. Um yeah, 278 00:19:26.640 --> 00:19:29.880 still says five left in stock. So none of you have clicked on 279 00:19:29.920 --> 00:19:37.720 it yet, but you have to de bloat it. I didn't. I 280 00:19:37.759 --> 00:19:41.000 didn't de bloat mine. I didn't. I didn't do anything to mind I 281 00:19:41.279 --> 00:19:48.119 uh. I booted it up, I installed Hammers, I logged into my 282 00:19:48.160 --> 00:19:51.279 Google account, and I go from there. I don't have very much running 283 00:19:51.279 --> 00:19:53.240 on it. It's only got like a sixty four gig hard drive, so 284 00:19:53.279 --> 00:19:56.640 it's not a huge hard drive. So I'm not going to do any video 285 00:19:56.759 --> 00:19:59.839 editing, editing on it or anything like that, although Mike says he's running 286 00:19:59.839 --> 00:20:04.799 over on his cool But I did not deploat mine. If I did, 287 00:20:06.119 --> 00:20:07.640 perhaps it would run a little bit quicker, but I've never really had a 288 00:20:07.640 --> 00:20:11.759 problem with it, So do what you will. You can do whatever. 289 00:20:11.799 --> 00:20:15.440 I know. Uh, Jason came for Ack. He loaded freaking Lennox on 290 00:20:15.480 --> 00:20:19.279 it, so I think a boon two I think he put it. Was 291 00:20:19.279 --> 00:20:22.160 either a Boontoo or Mint he put on it. So yeah, you can. 292 00:20:22.720 --> 00:20:26.559 You can load a new operating system one. It's got a USV plug 293 00:20:26.559 --> 00:20:27.720 on the side of it, which is always cool to see on a laptop 294 00:20:27.799 --> 00:20:33.160 that's small. But twelve volts, twelve volt chargeable. That's the best thing 295 00:20:33.160 --> 00:20:37.000 about that laptop. It's not great quality, it's not gonna win any awards 296 00:20:37.000 --> 00:20:40.519 anywhere, but it's twelve volt. And if you want to twelve volt all 297 00:20:40.519 --> 00:20:41.960 the things in your life, like I do, that's it's a great It's 298 00:20:41.960 --> 00:20:47.319 a great laptop. Mike has it. Mike had issues with it. He 299 00:20:47.359 --> 00:20:49.079 may have, but he uses his all the time. He uses his more 300 00:20:49.119 --> 00:20:53.680 than I do. Maybe he deploated his. I don't know. I have 301 00:20:53.680 --> 00:20:57.279 to check with him on that. However, whatever he did to his, 302 00:20:57.359 --> 00:21:00.119 he uses his all the time, more often than I use mine. So 303 00:21:00.200 --> 00:21:03.480 that's that. But there's only five in stock, so go grab one if 304 00:21:03.480 --> 00:21:08.000 you want a twelve volt chargeable laptop.

Might I mentioned on 330 00:22:51.079 --> 00:22:53.000 some video recently because I remember reading a comment saying, hey, you had 331 00:22:53.000 --> 00:22:59.920 mentioned a way to USB charge your um, I took it inside your yasu 332 00:23:00.160 --> 00:23:03.680 HT the FT five, the VX six R. I think the VF seven 333 00:23:03.720 --> 00:23:06.720 and eight are as well. I'm not sure on those, but definitely the 334 00:23:06.759 --> 00:23:10.279 FT three and the FT five. And somebody said they looked around for it 335 00:23:10.319 --> 00:23:12.799 and they couldn't find it. This is the cable to charge In fact, 336 00:23:12.799 --> 00:23:17.079 this one says Yazoo on it, although it's not made by yay Zu. 337 00:23:18.480 --> 00:23:23.680 This is an up converter that converts five volts to twelve volts and will and 338 00:23:23.759 --> 00:23:27.160 that's the that's the Yazoo plug that goes into the side of the most most 339 00:23:27.160 --> 00:23:33.599 your common Yazoo hts. Now, since Yazoo hts are twelve volt chargeable, 340 00:23:33.000 --> 00:23:37.839 you can take this cable, which I think is this I can't. I 341 00:23:37.920 --> 00:23:41.559 meant to check this before the stream and I forgot. I think this is 342 00:23:41.559 --> 00:23:45.240 a three point five millimeter barrel connector here. I think that's the same size. 343 00:23:45.279 --> 00:23:48.640 You just got to make sure that the positive negative on the pin is 344 00:23:48.279 --> 00:23:52.039 the same. I think that's the same thing as the Yazoo. I need 345 00:23:52.079 --> 00:23:53.720 to check that. I haven't done that yet. But you can plug. 346 00:23:53.759 --> 00:24:00.400 You can take your Yayzu Walward that came with the came with the radio and 347 00:24:00.480 --> 00:24:04.000 cut the Walboart, cut the AC plug off the Walwart and wired up to 348 00:24:04.000 --> 00:24:07.319 power pols and plug it direct on the end. Because if you look at 349 00:24:07.319 --> 00:24:11.400 that Walbart says it outputs twelve volts. Those hts charge on twelve volts. 350 00:24:11.440 --> 00:24:14.279 Also, again, I'm kind of on a mission to twelve volts. All 351 00:24:14.319 --> 00:24:18.759 of the things and and you know USB's good enough USS the twelve voltes I 352 00:24:18.799 --> 00:24:22.680 assume will charge a little bit faster. I don't know. This is an 353 00:24:22.720 --> 00:24:25.319 UP converter, so it's technically charging at twelve volts, even though it's a 354 00:24:25.400 --> 00:24:30.039 fake twelve volts. But but this is the u USB A cable, twelve 355 00:24:30.079 --> 00:24:37.519 bucks on Amazon, free one day shipping, and compatible with most serious model 356 00:24:37.559 --> 00:24:41.039 of yayzowakie talkie yay zoowaukie talkie. You can tell that the manufacturer doesn't know 357 00:24:41.079 --> 00:24:45.880 what they're doing because they're calling it a yay zoowakie talkie. Nothing technically wrong 358 00:24:45.960 --> 00:24:48.960 with that, but that's not what they're called. But yeah, so but 359 00:24:48.039 --> 00:24:52.119 I've you know, I've got two of these. I keep one in my 360 00:24:52.519 --> 00:24:56.119 ht box and one in my battery box and they work fine. So not 361 00:24:56.200 --> 00:25:00.039 fast charging, but it will absolutely charge your yay zoo radio from a USB 362 00:25:00.160 --> 00:25:06.200 A connection. HM. So there's that. These are kind of cool. 363 00:25:06.240 --> 00:25:07.519 I just found these. I don't know how well these work or not. 364 00:25:07.680 --> 00:25:12.759 I need to buy a couple of these. Um it's USBA to four four 365 00:25:12.880 --> 00:25:22.440 different USBC cables, and it says it's a fast charger cable multi charging. 366 00:25:23.559 --> 00:25:29.519 I question whether the current is very strong since it's splitting it into four. 367 00:25:30.319 --> 00:25:34.359 But will it work? Of course? Is it fast charging? Maybe? 368 00:25:34.440 --> 00:25:40.640 I don't know. So they look cool. You got four colors on them 369 00:25:40.880 --> 00:25:44.720 on the four USB red, red, black, green, and blue. 370 00:25:44.759 --> 00:25:49.000 You can't can't complain with that, so be interested to see if anybody's tried 371 00:25:49.039 --> 00:26:00.160 those. Uh, you know they have a constant underrupted forty eight DC our 372 00:26:00.200 --> 00:26:04.880 source in your house. Right. Oh, there's somebody talking. I'm six 373 00:26:04.920 --> 00:26:12.759 to five two a constant uninterrupted forty eight volt DC power source in your house, 374 00:26:12.839 --> 00:26:19.519 right sure, Now I don't know what you're talking about. But yeah, 375 00:26:19.599 --> 00:26:23.559 let's see. So these are I picked up. Did I put that 376 00:26:23.680 --> 00:26:26.200 in here? I don't think I put that in here. There's some battery 377 00:26:26.200 --> 00:26:30.799 boxes that are just empty battery boxes on on Amazon. It's kind of like 378 00:26:30.799 --> 00:26:34.400 the ones that Mike gets at Harbor Freight, and um, I picked up 379 00:26:34.440 --> 00:26:37.160 one or two of them because I'm gonna attempt to build one of my own 380 00:26:37.160 --> 00:26:42.200 just to do it. And these are some meters that I found that that 381 00:26:42.319 --> 00:26:45.680 look really good and got some good like this one right here's got four point 382 00:26:45.680 --> 00:26:49.000 through out of five stars, So that one looks good there. Um, 383 00:26:49.240 --> 00:26:56.599 This one here has got the PD, the the power power distribution PD whatever 384 00:26:56.599 --> 00:27:00.160 it's called, power delivery, power delivery, I think sixty five power deliver 385 00:27:00.359 --> 00:27:04.920 USBC connector and the quick Charge three dot O for USBA. So got a 386 00:27:04.920 --> 00:27:07.400 few of those in there, stuff like that. There's a panel right there 387 00:27:07.480 --> 00:27:11.960 that's got I don't care for these cigarette lighter adapter ones. I'm like, 388 00:27:11.000 --> 00:27:14.640 I'll take those out and put some power polls in it or something. I 389 00:27:14.680 --> 00:27:17.039 don't know. But that one's got a voltage meter so that's kind of fun. 390 00:27:17.440 --> 00:27:21.119 But I put some of those in there. These look, these look 391 00:27:21.160 --> 00:27:26.039 pretty cool here. So these are guideline cord adjusters for tents. Well, 392 00:27:26.359 --> 00:27:32.440 what else do you use guidelines for? I don't know what do you use 393 00:27:32.480 --> 00:27:34.960 guidelines for. So there's a cool video right here that shows you basically how 394 00:27:34.960 --> 00:27:40.519 to tie that. But you can wrap it in a certain way that um, 395 00:27:40.799 --> 00:27:45.160 I don't think that does he yeah, right there, you can tie 396 00:27:45.279 --> 00:27:48.880 you can tie it into a loop and go through that way, loop it 397 00:27:48.920 --> 00:27:53.880 around. Nope, sorry, kind of like that multiple ways. So I 398 00:27:53.960 --> 00:27:56.400 thought that was pretty neat. I'm like, man, you could you could, 399 00:27:56.440 --> 00:28:00.480 guy, you could make your long guy wire a little bit shorter time 400 00:28:00.559 --> 00:28:03.920 down a little bit for your for your tent, which is what it's advertised 401 00:28:03.960 --> 00:28:08.400 for, or just for your antenna, or for your single mass single push 402 00:28:08.440 --> 00:28:11.640 up poll that you're using on Poda, something like that. I was just 403 00:28:11.759 --> 00:28:14.680 I was just browsing Amazon. I'm like, oh, wow, you get 404 00:28:14.960 --> 00:28:18.519 twenty pieces for twelve bucks. That's kind of fun. So I always like 405 00:28:18.599 --> 00:28:23.839 finding neat stuff like that. This is a power station. I think somebody 406 00:28:23.920 --> 00:28:26.880 sent me this, not sent me the power station, but sent me a 407 00:28:26.920 --> 00:28:33.480 link to it. Uh this this, this is a big freaking power station. 408 00:28:33.599 --> 00:28:38.519 Portable power station. Input is the XT sixty and the barrel connector. 409 00:28:38.519 --> 00:28:41.839 Okay, that kind of thing. Yeah, if you've got six hundred bucks 410 00:28:41.880 --> 00:28:45.759 laying around, Actually it's a two hundred dollars off coup that might be why 411 00:28:45.759 --> 00:28:48.079 I put it in here. It's five ninety nine. Normally they have a 412 00:28:48.079 --> 00:28:52.000 two hundred dollars off coupon right now, so it's four hundred dollars three ninety 413 00:28:52.079 --> 00:28:55.000 nine. So if you got four hundred dollars laying around and you need a 414 00:28:55.039 --> 00:28:59.920 power station, there you go. There. It's probably it probably produces RFI, 415 00:29:00.480 --> 00:29:04.920 but they all do. I haven't found one yet that did not produce 416 00:29:06.039 --> 00:29:11.759 RFI when the DC to AC inverter is kicked on. Okay, now I 417 00:29:11.759 --> 00:29:15.640 haven't gone out and spent ten thousand dollars on one yet. Perhaps the ones 418 00:29:15.680 --> 00:29:22.559 that are that expensive actually quiet, I certainly hope so. But yeah, 419 00:29:22.640 --> 00:29:25.000 yeah, they're all going to produce a little bit of r a little bit 420 00:29:25.000 --> 00:29:27.359 of r IF I at least when the inverter is on. But that's just 421 00:29:27.440 --> 00:29:33.680 how it is, all right, let's see trying to watch the chat here. 422 00:29:33.680 --> 00:29:37.519 I don't have a frank today. Have you tried tim you instead of 423 00:29:37.519 --> 00:29:42.160 Amazon? Very good prices, pretty quick from China. I've heard of that, 424 00:29:42.240 --> 00:29:47.839 but I have not tried it. No Amazon, I can get stuff 425 00:29:47.880 --> 00:29:49.359 a lot of times. I can get stuff same day from Amazon, but 426 00:29:49.400 --> 00:29:56.440 at least next day. So sorry, Steve. I love that YouTube. 427 00:29:56.480 --> 00:29:57.960 Notified me in the stream twenty eight minutes after it started. Well, I'm 428 00:29:59.119 --> 00:30:03.079 at least you're here now. Sign up for my text messaging service. I 429 00:30:03.119 --> 00:30:08.559 sent a text out thirty minutes before the stream started today, and yeah, 430 00:30:08.559 --> 00:30:15.799 hand radio two dot com forward slash text me no spaces, what's up, 431 00:30:15.839 --> 00:30:18.400 Fry. I have a hard time trusting reviews for stuff on Amazon that have 432 00:30:18.519 --> 00:30:22.359 less than three hundred ratings and take it with you, grands. Oh yeah, 433 00:30:22.400 --> 00:30:23.839 I'm I'm with you on that. Actually. You know, if something 434 00:30:23.880 --> 00:30:29.680 has like ten or twenty or thirty ratings, yeah, if they haven't one, 435 00:30:29.720 --> 00:30:30.759 I like the one. I like the stuff that has one rating and 436 00:30:30.759 --> 00:30:33.160 it's five stars. This is awesome. I'm like, oh, so you're 437 00:30:33.200 --> 00:30:40.720 the guy selling it. Okay, cool? But uh yeah, oh the 438 00:30:40.799 --> 00:30:45.319 Evolve is USBC now is it really? Is it really USBC? Now? 439 00:30:47.559 --> 00:30:51.400 That might be worth I wonder I would like to see. I would like 440 00:30:51.440 --> 00:30:56.319 to see a test of a charging take the laptop down to take two laptops 441 00:30:56.319 --> 00:31:00.440 down to ten percent, plug them both in one USBC and one two Anderson 442 00:31:00.960 --> 00:31:07.119 twelve volt, and h see which one charges faster. I would like to 443 00:31:07.119 --> 00:31:12.440 do that. So, um, what's up, Arthur? Good to see 444 00:31:12.559 --> 00:31:18.240 here? Mass rent makes ten Yes they do. Mass rent does make tension 445 00:31:18.319 --> 00:31:26.359 or that's true. Uh yeah, there we go. Okay, so that's 446 00:31:26.599 --> 00:31:30.119 that's where we're at. Yeah, glad you got a buddy hat. Yeah. 447 00:31:30.200 --> 00:31:34.400 Dawn was in in five SKT. He was in Discord yesterday, I 448 00:31:34.440 --> 00:31:37.559 think maybe the day before. He's like dude, I just got an email 449 00:31:37.599 --> 00:31:41.039 from Chris My buddy hecks is on the way. He's been on the waiting 450 00:31:41.039 --> 00:31:45.079 list for a while, so um, congrats, you're gonna love it. 451 00:31:45.359 --> 00:31:52.079 I'm gonna set mine up next weekend. So we've got these uh power pulls, 452 00:31:52.160 --> 00:31:55.240 these fake Anderson power pulls, you see. I last purchased in August 453 00:31:55.319 --> 00:31:57.880 of twenty nineteen. Still got these, still use him. I really like 454 00:31:59.000 --> 00:32:04.039 these open ended crimp the metal pieces, the inserts in them. The ones 455 00:32:04.079 --> 00:32:07.519 that are open are easier to fit around ten and twelve gage wire. The 456 00:32:07.519 --> 00:32:10.200 ones that are closed the closed circle are made for like fourteen gage and smaller. 457 00:32:10.599 --> 00:32:15.720 So I really like these open ended ones these. Every now and then, 458 00:32:15.759 --> 00:32:17.680 you'll run across one of these that just flat doesn't fit for whatever reason, 459 00:32:19.200 --> 00:32:21.880 like the insert won't go in properly, or they don't fit together, 460 00:32:21.960 --> 00:32:23.519 the black and the red don't fit together properly, or something like that, 461 00:32:24.160 --> 00:32:28.440 and I just usually toss him and go on to the next one. When 462 00:32:28.440 --> 00:32:31.160 you compare the price of these to the price of real Anderson's, the number 463 00:32:31.160 --> 00:32:35.799 of these that fail is very, very minuscule. So yeah, you're gonna 464 00:32:35.799 --> 00:32:38.200 buy some that are a lot cheaper, and one out of every fifty fails. 465 00:32:39.480 --> 00:32:42.920 I don't care. I mean, I really don't care. I use 466 00:32:42.920 --> 00:32:46.640 these all the time and they're fine. So but get get what you want. 467 00:32:46.680 --> 00:32:49.680 And these come with those little boots on them too, which I like. 468 00:32:50.960 --> 00:32:53.119 So get what you want. If you want to get the real Anderson 469 00:32:53.160 --> 00:32:55.519 stuff, then do that. Nothing wrong with that. I'm just saying that 470 00:32:55.759 --> 00:32:58.680 some people will say, well, those are never fit to go. Well 471 00:32:58.680 --> 00:33:00.119 that's not true. It's not that they never fit together. It's just that 472 00:33:00.200 --> 00:33:04.119 every now and then you get one that's not good and blah blah blah. 473 00:33:04.160 --> 00:33:07.319 There you go. This pack of twenty. I bought this a while back 474 00:33:08.119 --> 00:33:14.079 and I keep that in my PoTA box because you can never have too many 475 00:33:14.759 --> 00:33:22.240 clip on fair eye beads for different stuff. And this is a trail camp 476 00:33:22.480 --> 00:33:24.880 I've got. I don't have this one, but I have one of these 477 00:33:24.880 --> 00:33:28.839 at the hunting Lease and I really like to set it up and watch it. 478 00:33:28.839 --> 00:33:31.680 And there's people people with large backyards should grab one of these and see 479 00:33:31.680 --> 00:33:36.279 what kind of wildlife you have crossing in the middle of the night. But 480 00:33:36.359 --> 00:33:38.440 hey, these your gift ideas for dad. So if your dad's a hunter, 481 00:33:38.519 --> 00:33:45.359 or Fisherman something like that. There you go. These these roto packs 482 00:33:45.440 --> 00:33:50.200 boxes here. I talked about those on my Friday video last week and somebody 483 00:33:50.200 --> 00:33:51.960 came by and said, yeah, I've got one, but it leaks. 484 00:33:51.960 --> 00:33:54.039 You can't really get these things to stop leaking, even with the with the 485 00:33:54.160 --> 00:33:58.000 name brand ones. And I'm like, well, okay, I don't know. 486 00:33:58.480 --> 00:34:00.640 I think you have to replace the caps on him every now and then 487 00:34:00.640 --> 00:34:02.960 when they start leaking. But I don't know. I'm gonna grab one and 488 00:34:02.960 --> 00:34:07.639 see put it on the truck kind of see what happens with it. But 489 00:34:08.000 --> 00:34:10.440 I will report back on that. This be in tech Go. This is 490 00:34:10.480 --> 00:34:14.480 the stuff that Mike uses in his battery boxes that he builds. It's very 491 00:34:14.480 --> 00:34:17.440 flexible. Twelve this is this is the twelve gage version, the red and 492 00:34:17.440 --> 00:34:20.719 black wire. You can buy him separately. You can buy red wire by 493 00:34:20.760 --> 00:34:22.760 it self, black wire by itself. I'm get him in different colors and 494 00:34:22.760 --> 00:34:28.519 whatnot, but twenty five foot stranded ten copper wire and we've had good luck. 495 00:34:28.760 --> 00:34:30.880 I actually I didn't know he was using this kind. I asked him 496 00:34:30.880 --> 00:34:32.880 what kind of he was using, and I went and looked it up on 497 00:34:32.880 --> 00:34:37.039 Amazon, and I had found that I had purchased some not this one obviously, 498 00:34:37.280 --> 00:34:38.039 but I had purchased some in the past. I'm like, oh, 499 00:34:38.119 --> 00:34:42.400 I know what that is. So I've actually I've never built any battery boxes, 500 00:34:42.400 --> 00:34:45.199 but I've used it in like the truck wiring stuff in the truck and 501 00:34:45.840 --> 00:34:51.599 building just um different various cables for stuff that I keep in my go kit, 502 00:34:51.760 --> 00:34:53.239 that kind of thing. So it's a very good cable and I really 503 00:34:53.519 --> 00:34:57.840 like it. It's it's a good quality stuff. There. This right here, 504 00:34:57.920 --> 00:35:00.679 this book by Mike Glover. It was just published in just released. 505 00:35:00.960 --> 00:35:04.199 I bought it. I um see, I bought it on June seventh, 506 00:35:05.360 --> 00:35:07.320 that was a week ago. I got it in the other day. I 507 00:35:07.400 --> 00:35:10.760 thumbed through it. I haven't read it yet because I'm I was reading another 508 00:35:10.800 --> 00:35:15.000 book that I just finished last night, So I might read that next or 509 00:35:15.039 --> 00:35:19.079 maybe a couple of books down the road. But Mike Glover feel Craft's Survival, 510 00:35:19.239 --> 00:35:23.119 if you've follow him on Instagram or anything, got some good uh, 511 00:35:23.239 --> 00:35:27.639 got some good comments on stuff, says a mantle for surviving the worst case 512 00:35:27.679 --> 00:35:37.639 scenarios. So perhaps the um what do they call it, the the sewage 513 00:35:37.679 --> 00:35:42.840 flood and her Arena circa twenty sixteen or so. Maybe that's in there for 514 00:35:42.960 --> 00:35:45.760 surviving worst case scenario. I don't know. I don't know if he included 515 00:35:45.760 --> 00:35:50.119 that or not. Probably do it, but you never know. So, 516 00:35:50.239 --> 00:35:53.280 but that's the stuff in there right now. I U. Yeah, this 517 00:35:53.360 --> 00:35:58.920 evolved Mastros is pretty cool, just because if it's USBC, that's even better. 518 00:35:59.559 --> 00:36:04.199 You know, my Dell xps will charge via USBC, but you've got 519 00:36:04.199 --> 00:36:08.280 to have a beefy beefy transformer on it to do that. You can't just 520 00:36:08.320 --> 00:36:15.880 plug a USBC cable into a regular old USBA or USBC power delivery port and 521 00:36:15.920 --> 00:36:19.039 have it charged. It doesn't recognize it. If it's not a certain wattage, 522 00:36:19.039 --> 00:36:22.039 it doesn't recognize it. I suspect that is not true for the Maestro 523 00:36:22.159 --> 00:36:28.280 since they were already charged on twelve volts. But I don't know. Good 524 00:36:29.199 --> 00:36:32.639 stuff there. So that's all I've got in the store right now. Again, 525 00:36:32.679 --> 00:36:38.719 I will share the link to this in the chat and it is in 526 00:36:38.760 --> 00:36:44.039 the description as well, and I'm probably gonna be adding this is for Father's 527 00:36:44.119 --> 00:36:45.320 Day, so I've got we've got a few days to Father's Day. I'm 528 00:36:45.360 --> 00:36:50.159 planning on doing a video on Friday to share several other things that I've got 529 00:36:50.840 --> 00:36:58.039 that I'm on mailing lists and got information about. So the the I'll be 530 00:36:58.119 --> 00:37:02.559 I'll be adding more stuff to this. So let me let me transition over 531 00:37:02.599 --> 00:37:14.719 here and see the chat here. Freddie Mack, what's up? Uh, 532 00:37:14.719 --> 00:37:22.840 I've seen fox raccoons, armadillan passa presumably on your trail cam. Yeah at 533 00:37:22.920 --> 00:37:28.800 night? Yes, at night has night vision on it and a flash so 534 00:37:28.960 --> 00:37:32.000 yes, um, moose in my front yard during the day. Um, 535 00:37:32.119 --> 00:37:37.199 we don't have any mess here, but yeah, car uses be in tech 536 00:37:37.280 --> 00:37:42.519 goo wire for their antennas. APE is specifically enamored with the pink colored wire 537 00:37:42.840 --> 00:37:45.800 that that sounds one accurate. I believe everything you just said on that. 538 00:37:46.119 --> 00:37:52.280 I can see that. I can totally see that. Um, let's see 539 00:37:55.039 --> 00:38:00.199 actually miss what you miss? Dayton dude, r dy murs, sir, 540 00:38:00.400 --> 00:38:02.760 you weren't at d yeah the Yeah, the DFWM expos last week. I 541 00:38:02.760 --> 00:38:06.519 heard it was pretty good. I don't know. I didn't. It was 542 00:38:06.519 --> 00:38:07.800 pot to weekend, so I didn't. I didn't get to go. We 543 00:38:07.800 --> 00:38:10.559 were at the park doing parks on the air at Lake Ray Roberts. But 544 00:38:12.280 --> 00:38:14.559 I heard it was good. A couple of guys said they went out there 545 00:38:14.559 --> 00:38:22.280 and it was good. Dawn, I might bring you on one day, 546 00:38:22.320 --> 00:38:24.719 buddy, that's a good idea. I've had a couple of people who are 547 00:38:24.719 --> 00:38:29.360 home during the day on with me. Cal four AFL has been on once 548 00:38:29.480 --> 00:38:32.320 or twice. I had a Ham Radio dude on once or twice. But 549 00:38:32.480 --> 00:38:35.800 yeah, I might hit you up. I'll hit you on a discord or 550 00:38:35.840 --> 00:38:39.920 something. But that is that once again for people who were not here a 551 00:38:39.920 --> 00:38:46.159 minute ago, we've got um. The Bridge Calm giveaway is going on here 552 00:38:46.159 --> 00:38:51.320 with all the stuff up at the top and the link to that I will 553 00:38:51.320 --> 00:38:52.719 share once again.

It doesn't cost anything to sign 560 00:39:16.320 --> 00:39:19.360 up for the bridge Com give away. And I hope one of you guys 561 00:39:19.400 --> 00:39:29.159 wins it, I really do. So that's a thing right there. Sixteen 562 00:39:29.199 --> 00:39:36.920 days to retirement for me. Hey, that's good. What's up Tom. 563 00:39:36.960 --> 00:39:57.840 Good to see you in there reading through the chat. Here there we go, 564 00:40:01.559 --> 00:40:07.400 smash the likes yep, and that's it. Okay. So when this, 565 00:40:07.599 --> 00:40:08.679 uh, when I was I was gonna go for a whole hour, 566 00:40:08.800 --> 00:40:12.440 we've only been going forty minutes. I usually try to go for a whole 567 00:40:12.440 --> 00:40:14.360 hour. I thought I had more stuff in there. I need to add 568 00:40:14.360 --> 00:40:17.519 more stuff to my Amazon store, so I'll do that at the end. 569 00:40:19.320 --> 00:40:22.280 Well at about five minutes after one. So in about twenty five minutes from 570 00:40:22.280 --> 00:40:27.280 now, somebody was asking about, uh my, if I'm going to do 571 00:40:27.360 --> 00:40:31.159 this shopping thing on my overlanding channel, and I said, no, I 572 00:40:31.199 --> 00:40:37.400 wasn't because I did the Black Friday thing in the over landing channel last November 573 00:40:37.400 --> 00:40:40.280 and it didn't really get much response. Maybe the channel is too new. 574 00:40:40.679 --> 00:40:44.400 I don't post on that channel enough. I'm trying to. I'm trying to 575 00:40:44.480 --> 00:40:45.599 update that. Well. I have a brand new video that's posting. And 576 00:40:45.639 --> 00:40:49.239 somebody else came by and said, wait a minute, you have an overlanding 577 00:40:49.280 --> 00:40:51.440 channel. I said, yes, I do, that's right, here. 578 00:40:51.440 --> 00:40:57.000 It's called Unplugged. It actually started as like a off grid gear review channel, 579 00:40:57.039 --> 00:40:59.760 so I was going to do reviews of like solar panels and batteries and 580 00:41:00.400 --> 00:41:05.760 stuff that runs on twelve volts and outdoor garments and coats and hats and that 581 00:41:05.840 --> 00:41:10.000 kind of thing. It kind of it kind of hasn't found its sea legs 582 00:41:10.079 --> 00:41:15.840 yet. I've done some overlanding stuff that's been decent. The most popular videos 583 00:41:15.840 --> 00:41:19.519 on the channel are actually my RV videos, so and I guess that's sort 584 00:41:19.519 --> 00:41:23.079 of in that same genre of stuff. But I'm going to share the link 585 00:41:23.119 --> 00:41:28.000 to this. I have a premiere about the More expo that Shane and Kyle 586 00:41:28.039 --> 00:41:34.119 and I attended last April in Springfield, Missouri, and it will premiere hearing 587 00:41:34.119 --> 00:41:37.800 about about twenty five minutes, about five minutes after one Central time, so 588 00:41:37.840 --> 00:41:42.559 whatever time it is for you right now, it's twenty minutes till the top 589 00:41:42.559 --> 00:41:45.199 of the hour, and this video will premiere at five minutes after the top 590 00:41:45.239 --> 00:41:47.599 of the hour. So I'm gonna be hanging out in that chat looking around 591 00:41:47.599 --> 00:41:53.960 in there. What is the Texas GMRS network is a network they're at They're 592 00:41:54.000 --> 00:41:59.480 at the ham fests. Dawn surprised you haven't seen them. Texas GMRS network 593 00:41:59.559 --> 00:42:01.559 is a network of GMRS repeaters. A lot of them are linked to overall 594 00:42:01.599 --> 00:42:05.840 Star in Texas. So I've talked on a couple They have a net on 595 00:42:05.920 --> 00:42:09.800 like Wednesday nights. I think Wednesday Nights I've talked on in a couple of 596 00:42:09.840 --> 00:42:21.360 times. Pretty cool. Have you looked at the AOIC cables? AOI c 597 00:42:21.639 --> 00:42:30.440 K. I don't know what that is? AOIC cable? AOI c oh? 598 00:42:31.559 --> 00:42:38.239 What the heck is that? Well, it's Ethernet? Is that right 599 00:42:38.280 --> 00:42:42.079 down? Do you miss type that AOIC? Or am I miss reading that? 600 00:42:45.599 --> 00:42:49.280 A I O c K. I don't know what that is. If 601 00:42:49.320 --> 00:42:51.960 I put that in Amazon, it comes up with a bunch of Ethernet stuff, 602 00:42:53.880 --> 00:43:07.840 Ethernet, Ethernet cables AI O C Yeah, a IOC cable? He 603 00:43:08.159 --> 00:43:17.000 I see, I'm not Yeah, I don't know what that is. Sorry, 604 00:43:19.239 --> 00:43:24.039 Hey, nope, yeah, I came up AOC cable. That's the 605 00:43:24.119 --> 00:43:27.960 last thing in the world that I want. Is any cable named AOC. 606 00:43:28.719 --> 00:43:37.000 Let's see A I O C. I don't think that's what you're looking at 607 00:43:37.000 --> 00:43:42.280 it either, all the one cable, all in one klea okay, see 608 00:43:42.320 --> 00:43:52.159 I don't. I don't um acronym very well, I guess boom, yeah, 609 00:43:52.199 --> 00:43:54.960 this one right here, I mean I shared those. Uh. That 610 00:43:55.000 --> 00:44:00.239 one's yeah. That one's the micro USB USBC and the FIN and the what's 611 00:44:00.239 --> 00:44:05.960 it called not FireWire lightning connector, the Apple lightning connector. I don't have 612 00:44:06.000 --> 00:44:07.079 any of those. No. In fact, the other oh, the other 613 00:44:07.199 --> 00:44:12.519 end is the USBC within with the USB A adapter. That's nice. Huh. 614 00:44:12.719 --> 00:44:15.920 I don't have any of those. No, I should probably get I 615 00:44:15.920 --> 00:44:19.239 should probably try that. I mean, why the heck not? Right? 616 00:44:22.960 --> 00:44:30.639 Only one cable there? Well, this braided cable. I like that braided 617 00:44:30.679 --> 00:44:35.760 cable eight hundred and seventy three ratings, four point three out of five stars. 618 00:44:35.840 --> 00:44:39.360 Let's put that in. I'm gonna put that in there. Okay, 619 00:44:39.440 --> 00:44:45.760 there we go, blue. There you go. A five percent off coupon 620 00:44:45.840 --> 00:44:47.960 on that one too. There you go. That's not it. Okay, 621 00:44:49.000 --> 00:44:52.480 I don't know what y'all are talking about. Sorry, HRD and car had 622 00:44:52.480 --> 00:44:57.519 talked about them. I use one and round aprs in my Balfang coffee and 623 00:44:57.519 --> 00:45:00.000 hand Rados has it on their side. Not okay, All right, Well, 624 00:45:00.079 --> 00:45:22.840 let's uh coffee bump AOYC board blaa boo shump now YC board out of 625 00:45:22.880 --> 00:45:31.480 stock. The only one from Simon Coopers is an amazing addition to your HT 626 00:45:31.679 --> 00:45:38.599 etc. Sometimes you can tell that to wrote this, wrote these descriptions, 627 00:45:39.239 --> 00:45:44.599 you can use this APRS winning programs K one. Oh. I see, 628 00:45:44.679 --> 00:45:49.119 Yeah, it goes into the Kinwood K connector doesn't it. Yeah if you're 629 00:45:49.119 --> 00:45:55.039 ETOs But dude, huh, okay, I will have to I'll have to 630 00:45:55.079 --> 00:45:59.119 get one of those from when they come back in stock, and then it 631 00:45:59.159 --> 00:46:04.360 goes to USB A. I guess so you can. It's just an easy 632 00:46:04.400 --> 00:46:10.719 way to add whatever computer connection to your HT. Okay, it's kind of 633 00:46:10.719 --> 00:46:21.559 neat all right. I haven't seen that yet that I recall. Good, 634 00:46:21.679 --> 00:46:24.960 Okay, cool, Well I'll go I'll go check that out. I'll hit 635 00:46:25.039 --> 00:46:27.719 up t O and say, hey, send me one of these. I 636 00:46:27.760 --> 00:46:31.239 can do a video about it. Good deal. He won't do it. 637 00:46:31.239 --> 00:46:35.920 He won't send me one, but I'll ask him anyway. Uh, let's 638 00:46:35.960 --> 00:46:39.840 see. Can we call him octopus or squid cables usp A one side micro 639 00:46:42.039 --> 00:46:45.800 h if they were eight ends of it, Yeah, you could call an 640 00:46:45.920 --> 00:46:49.199 octopus, but I don't think there's eight ends. I think there's four ends 641 00:46:49.199 --> 00:47:00.159 to those cables. Uh later a hand radio crusader, it's not actually a 642 00:47:00.199 --> 00:47:02.480 cable. Yeah that makes sense. Yeah, coffee and ham radios. If 643 00:47:02.519 --> 00:47:05.400 they put up something and call it a cable is probably not going to be 644 00:47:05.400 --> 00:47:08.360 a cable. Makes sense. It's like when Teo says, hey, I 645 00:47:08.400 --> 00:47:13.119 make funny videos. Yeah, yeah you do. No, I'm kidding, 646 00:47:13.559 --> 00:47:15.880 No, I'm not kind of well a little bit maybe, I don't know. 647 00:47:17.800 --> 00:47:20.920 All in one cable. Yeah, this is not a cable. It's 648 00:47:20.960 --> 00:47:29.320 a PC. It's a board with connections on it and no cover. How 649 00:47:29.480 --> 00:47:31.800 was your trip back home from Dayton? It was fine, no problems at 650 00:47:31.840 --> 00:47:38.599 all. Took too long, but you know, so be it is. 651 00:47:38.719 --> 00:47:43.719 Charging batteries quickly always a good idea. Probably not depends on what battery you're 652 00:47:43.719 --> 00:47:47.360 talking about. Depends on I mean, there's a difference between something that takes 653 00:47:47.400 --> 00:47:51.719 eight to ten hours to charge and someone that takes ten minutes to charge. 654 00:47:52.360 --> 00:47:55.199 You know, if my battery takes only one to two hours to charge, 655 00:47:55.239 --> 00:48:00.239 I'm not going to be unhappy. I wouldn't want to overcharge it of worse, 656 00:48:00.360 --> 00:48:02.239 but you know, I don't want to wait a day and a half 657 00:48:02.239 --> 00:48:14.239 for it to charge either yep, and there we go. Okay, let's 658 00:48:14.280 --> 00:48:17.440 see, I gave Mike the President Lincoln to review, and he is supposed 659 00:48:17.440 --> 00:48:22.000 to bring it to you next. I know what a President Lincoln you. 660 00:48:22.159 --> 00:48:25.440 I used to have a President Lincoln, long time ago, older model, 661 00:48:25.519 --> 00:48:32.639 I assume probably not probably probably not the same one you've got, unless you've 662 00:48:32.639 --> 00:48:37.320 got an older model too. But okay, ten twelve meters? Does it 663 00:48:37.360 --> 00:48:42.719 actually go to twelve meters? Actually go down that far? I wonder if 664 00:48:42.719 --> 00:48:45.239 it does?
