It is the season for mystery boxes.

7
00:00:35.679 --> 00:00:38.880
I did a video about a main
trading company mystery box, of which I

8
00:00:38.920 --> 00:00:42.719
actually bought last year. Also that
was a nice surprise. So I just

9
00:00:42.719 --> 00:00:46.920
googled Ham Radio mystery box and what
comes up? But another website called r

10
00:00:47.479 --> 00:00:51.000
w Antenna's. Their website says they've
been in business since nineteen eighty two.

11
00:00:51.039 --> 00:00:53.119
So how do I not know who
they are? I don't know. But

12
00:00:53.159 --> 00:01:00.159
we're going to open their fifty dollars
mystery box right now. So this the

13
00:01:00.200 --> 00:01:03.280
website right here. They've actually got
a forty, ten, twenty fifty,

14
00:01:03.359 --> 00:01:07.280
and thirty, so ten, twenty, thirty, forty and fifty dollars mystery

15
00:01:07.319 --> 00:01:10.159
box and I'm like, well,
the main trading company mystery box that I

16
00:01:10.200 --> 00:01:12.359
opened was twenty five dollars. It
might have been thirty. I think it

17
00:01:12.359 --> 00:01:15.519
was twenty five dollars, so I
thought, you know what, I'm gonna

18
00:01:15.519 --> 00:01:17.879
get a little bit something, something, a little bit bigger. I also

19
00:01:17.920 --> 00:01:25.000
looked at the gigaparts two hundred and
fifty dollars mystery box. Maybe maybe I

20
00:01:25.040 --> 00:01:29.480
don't know, maybe, but I
got but I got this in the mail

21
00:01:29.640 --> 00:01:33.640
just like two days ago, and
it's actually like a bag. I opened

22
00:01:33.640 --> 00:01:36.239
it up on the end here because
I'm like, oh, is there a

23
00:01:36.280 --> 00:01:38.560
box inside of here? No,
there's not There's not a box inside of

24
00:01:38.599 --> 00:01:41.359
here, So I didn't really take
any I took one thing out and then

25
00:01:41.400 --> 00:01:42.760
I put it back in and realized, Okay, I want to open this

26
00:01:42.799 --> 00:01:46.040
on camera because I want to be
surprised by what's in here. So I

27
00:01:46.040 --> 00:01:49.000
don't know, So let me take
Mezzi and PLOMMEI scissors here and open this

28
00:01:49.079 --> 00:01:55.680
thing up right there. Rwntennistore dot
com says they've been in business since nineteen

29
00:01:55.719 --> 00:01:59.280
eighty two, and uh, they've
got some holiday specials on the front of

30
00:01:59.280 --> 00:02:01.040
their website going on right now,
so I'm probably going to start adding them

31
00:02:01.040 --> 00:02:06.280
to my Friday shopping video. All
right, there's a Balfang cable programming cable

32
00:02:06.280 --> 00:02:09.479
with a K connector right there,
and the CD. All the times that

33
00:02:09.520 --> 00:02:15.039
I've installed drivers for Balfang, I've
never needed the CD, but sometimes you

34
00:02:15.080 --> 00:02:19.680
need the CD, so I'm told. Anyway, this is a patch cable

35
00:02:19.840 --> 00:02:23.240
with an SO two thirty nine on
one end and a SMA female on the

36
00:02:23.280 --> 00:02:28.000
other end, so that might come
in useful for some things. And here's

37
00:02:28.039 --> 00:02:30.639
a UV five R. And there's
a UV five R right there, two

38
00:02:30.680 --> 00:02:37.919
meters seventy centimeter actual UV five R
right there, and that's what that's what's

39
00:02:37.960 --> 00:02:39.879
in there is a UV five R
and there's nothing else in there. So

40
00:02:40.240 --> 00:02:45.319
hmmm, is that worth fifty bucks? Let me make sure I let make

41
00:02:45.360 --> 00:02:46.919
sure I got the right thing here. Okay, Well, there was a

42
00:02:47.000 --> 00:02:51.439
okay, mystery box special. There
was a five or a ten percent discount,

43
00:02:51.639 --> 00:02:54.199
so I got it for forty five
dollars. You know, that's probably

44
00:02:54.280 --> 00:02:58.840
about forty five dollars worth of stuff
if you consider this one. He's got

45
00:02:58.840 --> 00:03:00.199
a price stag on this one of
thirty five dollars. You can get him

46
00:03:00.240 --> 00:03:05.800
cheaper than that on Amazon. These
cables sell for about he's got a price

47
00:03:05.879 --> 00:03:09.199
tag on that of five dollars.
I've seen these cables sell for fifteen dollars

48
00:03:09.199 --> 00:03:13.639
on some websites, and then he's
got a price tag on this of twelve

49
00:03:13.719 --> 00:03:17.400
dollars, So twelve fifteen, Well
that's okay. So by his prices,

50
00:03:17.439 --> 00:03:23.360
that's fifty bucks. Twelve plus three
is fifteen plus thirty five is fifty.

51
00:03:23.400 --> 00:03:25.879
So that's a fifty dollars mystery box. A little bit overpriced on the balfang

52
00:03:25.919 --> 00:03:29.400
in my opinion, but I mean, if that's what he charges for him

53
00:03:29.439 --> 00:03:32.039
then, and if he's selling him
on his website, then okay. You

54
00:03:32.080 --> 00:03:37.520
know what, I wasn't really expecting
to get anything big and special in a

55
00:03:37.560 --> 00:03:40.120
fifty dollars mystery box. I just
wanted to open a mystery box for another

56
00:03:40.199 --> 00:03:45.039
video, so that's what I did
here. So where are some other websites

57
00:03:45.080 --> 00:03:49.240
that you guys are buying mystery boxes
from? I actually have another one right

58
00:03:49.759 --> 00:03:53.400
there that I got just like an
owery. This one came in like Friday

59
00:03:53.439 --> 00:03:55.919
of last week. This one down
here below me is came in earlier today

60
00:03:57.039 --> 00:03:59.039
and I didn't know what it was. I couldn't remember. I opened it

61
00:03:59.120 --> 00:04:00.599
up, I'm like, oh,
that's gonna be fun to open, so

62
00:04:00.800 --> 00:04:05.159
I'm gonna do another mystery box.
But have you bought mystery boxes this season,

63
00:04:05.319 --> 00:04:09.840
this Black Friday, this holiday season? And if so, where put

64
00:04:09.879 --> 00:04:10.879
a comment? Blow Thanks
