Most clubs that i've most clubs I'm aware of 24 00:02:07.799 --> 00:02:10.960 that do field Day. They welcome new people, or you don't even really 25 00:02:10.960 --> 00:02:15.560 have to be licensed at all. You could just go out there and kind 26 00:02:15.560 --> 00:02:17.439 of check out their setup and see what they're doing, and they'll be happy 27 00:02:17.479 --> 00:02:22.439 to explain things to you. If you're in the DFW area, there's a 28 00:02:22.439 --> 00:02:25.159 lot of really good clubs. Dallas Club, Didn't Club, a lot of 29 00:02:25.159 --> 00:02:29.759 the clubs in mid Cities, the Hearst Club, the net Ark Northeast tern 30 00:02:29.800 --> 00:02:36.560 Amateur Radio Club, the Bedford Club, the Uless Club, the Carrollton Metrocrest 31 00:02:36.599 --> 00:02:40.039 Amateur Radio Society, Mars Club they do.

So that is that is where it is this 34 00:02:53.280 --> 00:02:57.280 weekend. And I suspect you've got a club near you that's going to do 35 00:02:57.439 --> 00:03:00.560 field day, So check them out, email them, call them whatever and 36 00:03:00.680 --> 00:03:05.039 find out if you can go. Kind of just search through what they're doing 37 00:03:05.039 --> 00:03:07.560 and kind of watch them for a little bit and get a feel for it. 38 00:03:07.599 --> 00:03:09.680 If you've never done field day before, if you've done field day before, 39 00:03:10.240 --> 00:03:14.560 then plan on participating this weekend if you can. We're going to be 40 00:03:14.560 --> 00:03:19.479 operating as K and five t R Kilo November five Tangle Radio out at my 41 00:03:19.560 --> 00:03:23.240 hunting least. It's going to be pretty fun time. I suspect although it's 42 00:03:23.240 --> 00:03:29.120 going to be freaking hot, but I don't know. Whatever, it's it's 43 00:03:29.159 --> 00:03:31.000 all good. It's all good. Sign the book too, yeah, good 44 00:03:31.199 --> 00:03:37.039 good idea ed. Most of them have it like a guestbook at their field 45 00:03:37.080 --> 00:03:39.400 day event where they can get people sign up and if you don't want to 46 00:03:39.400 --> 00:03:43.159 give your phone number and email, you don't have to usually, but just 47 00:03:43.639 --> 00:03:46.400 kind of they like to get accounts of the community that comes by and checks 48 00:03:46.400 --> 00:03:54.280 out their set up for field Day. Let's see, look for the go 49 00:03:54.400 --> 00:03:58.840 to station at field Day. That's a good place to get Yeah. So 50 00:03:58.960 --> 00:04:02.319 a lot of a lot of clubs will set up a GODA station. Get 51 00:04:02.319 --> 00:04:08.199 on the air is what that means. Goota and it is a station set 52 00:04:08.280 --> 00:04:12.439 up specifically for people who are new to him radio, not club members, 53 00:04:14.439 --> 00:04:18.120 maybe not even licensed. As long as someone with the GODA call sign is 54 00:04:18.120 --> 00:04:20.639 sitting there right next to you, it's perfectly fine for you to get on 55 00:04:20.639 --> 00:04:24.920 the air with third party traffic and make a couple of contacts and see what 56 00:04:24.959 --> 00:04:28.160 it's all about. So a lot of stations have a GODA station set up 57 00:04:28.199 --> 00:04:31.600 as well, and that's they do that so that people can so that newcomers 58 00:04:31.600 --> 00:04:34.680 can come by, non licensed people or somebody who's just never done Field Bay 59 00:04:35.319 --> 00:04:39.319 field Day can come by and get on the air and see what it's all 60 00:04:39.360 --> 00:04:44.639 about.

So we did a well. 71 00:05:32.839 --> 00:05:39.040 First of all, let me let me start with this because those of you 72 00:05:39.079 --> 00:05:44.040 who were following me or who met up with me in Dayton, you know 73 00:05:44.160 --> 00:05:47.240 that my all Star node died. I rebuilt it yesterday. So I rebuilt 74 00:05:47.279 --> 00:05:50.680 my all Star node yesterday. I turned the camera on and I put a 75 00:05:50.680 --> 00:05:55.319 brand new micro SD card into my Sherry Note. Well, I imaged it, 76 00:05:55.399 --> 00:05:58.680 I showed how to image it, put it into the Sherry node, 77 00:05:59.240 --> 00:06:01.319 and went through the set up configuration. So that's going to be a video 78 00:06:01.399 --> 00:06:05.560 upcoming. I realized the other day, maybe maybe a week or two ago, 79 00:06:05.600 --> 00:06:10.519 I don't remember. I realized that I have never done a video on 80 00:06:10.639 --> 00:06:15.360 all Star that was not a live stream, so I didn't have anything edited 81 00:06:16.000 --> 00:06:20.079 shorter form edited uploaded video on the channel about how to set up all Star, 82 00:06:20.160 --> 00:06:24.519 and I wanted to do that for this note, my node conveniently died 83 00:06:24.560 --> 00:06:26.360 on me, so I was like, yeah, this is a good opportunity 84 00:06:26.360 --> 00:06:30.199 to go ahead and show how to set up a Sherry node from scratch, 85 00:06:30.360 --> 00:06:40.879 brand new SD card a micro SD card imaged for imaged with the ham Voipe 86 00:06:40.920 --> 00:06:43.600 image. Just the word I was looking for image with the ham Void image, 87 00:06:43.600 --> 00:06:48.279 which you can download and used image a micro SD card through a program 88 00:06:48.319 --> 00:06:54.519 on Windows called Win thirty two imager. When thirty two disc Manager, that's 89 00:06:54.560 --> 00:06:57.720 it. There's several of them out there. When thirty two disc Manager is 90 00:06:58.439 --> 00:07:00.399 one of the ones. That the fact if you go out and download the 91 00:07:00.439 --> 00:07:05.240 ham Voipe image, it's a self extracting ZIP file, so you it's a 92 00:07:05.319 --> 00:07:08.839 it's a dott ex file, so you just run the dott e xc and 93 00:07:08.879 --> 00:07:11.759 it self extracts to a folder and it has five or six files in it. 94 00:07:11.959 --> 00:07:15.920 One of those files is when thirty two disc Manager and when SCP is 95 00:07:15.959 --> 00:07:20.600 in there as well. It's another another way to image a microst card with 96 00:07:20.639 --> 00:07:26.120 a with a dot IMG file on a on a Windows box. So, 97 00:07:27.240 --> 00:07:32.000 um, that that is what I did. I recorded that yesterday, got 98 00:07:32.000 --> 00:07:39.279 my node backup going yesterday. This is my Superman page to the all Star 99 00:07:39.319 --> 00:07:43.560 server I'm running in the cloud. Those of you who might be who might 100 00:07:43.639 --> 00:07:49.680 have that's good Lorne. I like that, those of you who might have 101 00:07:49.720 --> 00:07:54.519 been connected yesterday. So I got an email from this gentleman in four LPK 102 00:07:55.399 --> 00:07:58.319 a week or so ago, and he's like, hey man, I'm trying 103 00:07:58.319 --> 00:08:01.160 to connect to your node. Is do you have me blacklisted? I'm like, 104 00:08:01.199 --> 00:08:03.879 no, dude, I haven't blacklisted anybody from my my Ulstar node. 105 00:08:05.600 --> 00:08:07.560 And he was having trouble connecting, but he was the only one reporting it. 106 00:08:07.639 --> 00:08:11.680 And at the time I had seven eight nine stations connected and they were 107 00:08:11.720 --> 00:08:13.399 all talking and I'm like, okay, so it's working well. When I 108 00:08:13.439 --> 00:08:18.079 got my Sherry node rebuilt yesterday, I tried to connect. I couldn't connect 109 00:08:18.120 --> 00:08:22.720 to it at all. It did not Yeah, I could not connect. 110 00:08:22.759 --> 00:08:24.439 I connected to another node. I tried to check and see if Kyle was 111 00:08:24.439 --> 00:08:30.720 online. Kyle was not even online. His nodes not even online. So 112 00:08:30.720 --> 00:08:33.799 so there's some other guys down in West Gulf Texas down there and around U 113 00:08:35.159 --> 00:08:39.000 League City and whatnot that keep a allstar node on a simplex frequency. So 114 00:08:39.039 --> 00:08:41.639 I connected to them and it worked just fine. It's like, Okay, 115 00:08:41.639 --> 00:08:45.879 maybe there's some kind of something something going on with the server. So I 116 00:08:45.960 --> 00:08:52.200 rebooted my cloud server yesterday. So if you were on and three or four 117 00:08:52.240 --> 00:08:56.840 stations auto can have auto connect enabled on their on their configuration file obviously because 118 00:08:56.879 --> 00:09:01.080 they've reconnected back up. But if we were on and connected yesterday and got 119 00:09:01.159 --> 00:09:05.120 kicked off, that's because I rebooted the server, feel free to reconnect. 120 00:09:05.440 --> 00:09:07.720 This is my cloud server at four three one three six. I am connected 121 00:09:07.799 --> 00:09:11.480 right here. This is my Sherry node. It's inside the house right now. 122 00:09:11.759 --> 00:09:16.279 I wanted to get that up and running and connected and configured and working 123 00:09:16.679 --> 00:09:18.519 prior to field Day because I'm gonna take that with me to field Day this 124 00:09:18.559 --> 00:09:26.039 weekend. So I am that's that's my plan for UM for this weekend, 125 00:09:26.120 --> 00:09:31.639 to have that share my Shrry node with me at the at the field day 126 00:09:31.679 --> 00:09:37.200 site and then connected to this server where I stay connected ninety nine percent of 127 00:09:37.279 --> 00:09:39.840 the time. So it is back up and running, it's working well. 128 00:09:39.879 --> 00:09:43.559 I held several quesos yesterday. I was listening to a guy some guys talk 129 00:09:43.919 --> 00:09:48.399 this morning, and that's that's where it's at. It's all. It's all 130 00:09:48.399 --> 00:09:52.120 good now, So please connect to all Star and talk with us if you 131 00:09:52.240 --> 00:09:54.720 choose to see two people that have already connected. So there we go, 132 00:09:56.559 --> 00:10:03.639 thanks guys. Yeah, Kyle at him? You start talking bad about Kyle, 133 00:10:03.679 --> 00:10:07.039 and all of a sudden he pops up in the chat. I can't 134 00:10:07.080 --> 00:10:09.679 even connect to my pie that runs aster. I know if you go to 135 00:10:09.679 --> 00:10:13.799 stats dot all Star linked dot org you and search for a zero Z, 136 00:10:13.039 --> 00:10:16.039 you don't show online at all. So yeah, I figured that. Um, 137 00:10:16.559 --> 00:10:20.399 I figured that you're you'd turn it off. Or maybe maybe it just 138 00:10:20.799 --> 00:10:24.559 you know, maybe it just is acting like a raspberry pie. It needs 139 00:10:24.559 --> 00:10:26.720 a kick in the pants, which you know that happens sometimes. Don that's 140 00:10:26.720 --> 00:10:31.039 a very good question. Where is KG five h J in that list? 141 00:10:31.120 --> 00:10:33.919 I don't know. That's a very good question. I would like to I 142 00:10:33.919 --> 00:10:39.039 would like to know the answer to that myself. Good old Frank.

This is and 168 00:12:13.039 --> 00:12:16.039 this used to be a sixty dollars laptop. I picked up, like I 169 00:12:16.080 --> 00:12:20.039 don't know, six seven eight of them back when they were new, when 170 00:12:20.039 --> 00:12:24.279 they were first discovered, I should say I think they were new, and 171 00:12:24.399 --> 00:12:26.480 I gave a bunch of them away on a live stream like I was doing 172 00:12:26.559 --> 00:12:30.519 last year. Well, they were out of stock for a while on Amazon. 173 00:12:30.600 --> 00:12:33.919 They've been back in stock for I don't know a month or two something 174 00:12:33.960 --> 00:12:35.519 like that. I don't know. They're no longer sixty dollars obviously, they're 175 00:12:35.600 --> 00:12:39.320 nine ninety eight right in one hundred bucks, twenty three percent off of what 176 00:12:39.360 --> 00:12:43.080 they call their list price, which is one twenty nine ninety nine. The 177 00:12:43.120 --> 00:12:48.879 great thing about this laptop is that it charges from twelve volts twelve votes, 178 00:12:48.919 --> 00:12:52.080 no transformer, no step up or step down converters needed. You plug it 179 00:12:52.159 --> 00:12:56.879 directly into It doesn't come with a twelve volte charger. It comes with a 180 00:12:58.039 --> 00:13:03.360 with a little proprietary semi rietary plug, this little barrel connector that goes to 181 00:13:03.519 --> 00:13:07.480 a regular one hundred ten volts AC outlet. Okay, And what you can 182 00:13:07.519 --> 00:13:09.159 do is you can cut that plug off the end of it and put power 183 00:13:09.240 --> 00:13:13.360 poles on it and plug that the rest of that cable directly into a battery 184 00:13:13.360 --> 00:13:16.960 box or a biwino or something like that, and then keep the plug and 185 00:13:18.000 --> 00:13:20.840 put the put the power poles on the plug also so that you can plug 186 00:13:20.879 --> 00:13:24.679 the power poles on both ends of that cable you just cut together and plug 187 00:13:24.720 --> 00:13:28.320 it back into the wall as well, because that little transformer transforms from one 188 00:13:28.360 --> 00:13:33.279 hundred and ten vold AC down to twelve bold DC and it charges via twelve 189 00:13:33.320 --> 00:13:39.399 bolts. I picked up a couple of these fan case fan casey. However, 190 00:13:39.399 --> 00:13:43.039 you say that three foot replacement cables that come with these bare wires on 191 00:13:43.120 --> 00:13:48.720 them, and I put power pole. I think I got two, I 192 00:13:48.720 --> 00:13:50.440 got two or three of these, I don't remember which one, and I 193 00:13:50.480 --> 00:13:54.840 put power poles on all of them, and I put one in my battery 194 00:13:54.840 --> 00:13:56.759 box that I leave there with a bunch of other cables, and I kept 195 00:13:56.759 --> 00:14:00.440 one with the laptop. I gotta get it. I don't have a laptop 196 00:14:00.519 --> 00:14:01.960 sleeve. I need to get a laptop sleeve that I can put some stuff 197 00:14:01.960 --> 00:14:05.399 in with it. I might pick that up here in just a little bit, 198 00:14:05.840 --> 00:14:07.120 but um, in fact, let's put that in there, because it 199 00:14:07.159 --> 00:14:13.120 says that laptop sleeve fits this laptop. Field Day, twenty twenty three. 200 00:14:13.759 --> 00:14:16.919 But the great thing about this laptop is that it charges via twelve volts. 201 00:14:16.919 --> 00:14:22.399 Now I run the smart SDR software for Windows for Flex Radio runs it just 202 00:14:22.480 --> 00:14:24.639 fine, no problems at all. It's not the most powerful laptop in the 203 00:14:24.679 --> 00:14:30.360 world. It's not even it's not even that well put together. I shouldn't 204 00:14:30.360 --> 00:14:33.679 say it's not well, it's it's it's a little bit fragile. I'll put 205 00:14:33.679 --> 00:14:35.679 it that way. You know, the screen, if you if you if 206 00:14:35.679 --> 00:14:37.720 you're to put a lot of pressure on the screen and bend it, you'd 207 00:14:37.720 --> 00:14:41.639 probably crack the screen. It's not durable. It's not a tough book. 208 00:14:41.639 --> 00:14:43.120 It's not anything like that. But it does work if you just take care 209 00:14:43.159 --> 00:14:46.440 of it. The keyboard kind of tends to stick a little bit. Sometimes 210 00:14:46.440 --> 00:14:52.360 you gotta be you gotta mash the keys down to type accurately. But it 211 00:14:52.440 --> 00:14:54.120 runs all the things. It runs smart SDR, run hammers on it, 212 00:14:54.240 --> 00:14:58.240 run a grid tracker on it, run um what. I haven't tried to 213 00:14:58.360 --> 00:15:01.840 HRD. I'm try him Radio Deluxe. I haven't tried that yet, but 214 00:15:03.279 --> 00:15:05.679 you know, for what it is for a backup laptop that you keep in 215 00:15:05.720 --> 00:15:11.120 your bag or your go kit for ham radio, it works really well. 216 00:15:11.120 --> 00:15:16.240 I think it does. Any idea what the current draws for that laptop when 217 00:15:16.279 --> 00:15:18.720 charging? You know, I have not measured that. Perhaps I will do 218 00:15:18.759 --> 00:15:22.039 a video and measure that because I've got one of those. Uh, I've 219 00:15:22.080 --> 00:15:26.080 got the Amazon Special and I've got the power works the little inline meter with 220 00:15:26.120 --> 00:15:28.080 the power poles on either side of it, so I'll check that out. 221 00:15:28.080 --> 00:15:33.000 I do not know ws JTX also, yes done. I've run w s 222 00:15:33.080 --> 00:15:37.799 JTX connected to my Yasu FTDX ten from this laptop. I've run w s 223 00:15:37.879 --> 00:15:43.960 JTX connected to my Smartest DR and connected back to the radio here in the 224 00:15:43.000 --> 00:15:46.399 shack. From the laptop. It all works fine. I've not had any 225 00:15:46.399 --> 00:15:50.480 problems with this with running this laptop at all. I don't do any video 226 00:15:50.559 --> 00:15:54.519 editing or anything intensive like that on it. I just use it only for 227 00:15:54.600 --> 00:15:56.279 ham radio and it works great. So that is in the store there. 228 00:15:58.759 --> 00:16:02.200 I've got that down right there. Right next to it is this uh fancase 229 00:16:02.480 --> 00:16:07.399 or have you say, at cable three foot replacement cable for for additional charging 230 00:16:07.600 --> 00:16:10.879 sources. So I have a really bad habit of losing cables like that. 231 00:16:10.960 --> 00:16:12.679 So I bought two or three of them as backups, and I keep one 232 00:16:12.720 --> 00:16:17.320 in different places. I got one in my my go kit or my my 233 00:16:17.320 --> 00:16:21.399 my battery box, one in my maybe one in two different battery boxes actually, 234 00:16:21.399 --> 00:16:25.960 and then one with the laptop itself. So that's that this. Several 235 00:16:25.960 --> 00:16:27.320 of you asked. If you're on my email list, you probably saw this 236 00:16:27.360 --> 00:16:30.279 already, but several of you asked after a live stream I did a couple 237 00:16:30.279 --> 00:16:36.879 of weeks ago about charging solutions for a Yazoo radio. I don't have my 238 00:16:37.000 --> 00:16:41.399 no, I don't have my my FT five out here right now, but 239 00:16:41.480 --> 00:16:44.600 if you go look at your Yazy radio, if you have an FT three 240 00:16:44.639 --> 00:16:48.080 and FT five a VX six, r VX seven, r VX eight, 241 00:16:48.960 --> 00:16:55.159 all of the ones right here. It's it's saying the FT FT two seventy 242 00:16:55.200 --> 00:17:00.799 FT two seventy seven, that kind of a bunch of different Yazoo handheld you 243 00:17:00.879 --> 00:17:04.200 will see. Look at the charging cable where you plug the cable into the 244 00:17:04.279 --> 00:17:07.559 radio, and then in the wall and look at the transformer on that charging 245 00:17:07.599 --> 00:17:11.559 brick and see what it says. It's going to tell you that it's that 246 00:17:11.640 --> 00:17:17.640 it's transforming to twelve DC. And these Yazoo radios charged directly on twelve volts. 247 00:17:18.880 --> 00:17:22.319 So I bought two of these myself and put one in the GO box. 248 00:17:22.400 --> 00:17:23.799 And I have an HT box as well. I keep four or five 249 00:17:23.880 --> 00:17:26.599 hts in I keep. I take those everywhere and put one in there. 250 00:17:26.960 --> 00:17:33.640 I put one in my battery but my Explore battery box from Gigaparts, And 251 00:17:33.920 --> 00:17:36.880 um, yes it'll work with the three. Yes it'll work with the FT 252 00:17:37.000 --> 00:17:38.559 three. In fact, I'm pretty sure i'll even work with the FT one 253 00:17:38.599 --> 00:17:41.480 in two. But yes, it will definitely work with the FT three in 254 00:17:41.519 --> 00:17:45.640 the FT five because they all basically take the same charger. There's one good 255 00:17:45.680 --> 00:17:48.000 thing that Yazu done well, I don't mean one, get that. That's 256 00:17:48.000 --> 00:17:52.880 another good thing that Yazu does is they keep their chargers pretty much all the 257 00:17:52.920 --> 00:17:56.839 same. They're not all the same, but there's a lot of Yasu hts 258 00:17:56.839 --> 00:18:00.759 that use the same type of charger. But yeah, so it comes with 259 00:18:00.799 --> 00:18:03.920 bear wires. I put powerpolls on it. And now I've got a Yazoo 260 00:18:03.400 --> 00:18:07.640 charging cable for my FT five and my vxix are both of which I keep 261 00:18:07.640 --> 00:18:10.599 in my HT box. I've got that with me. I've got one of 262 00:18:10.599 --> 00:18:12.680 those cables in my battery box. I've got one in the HT box itself. 263 00:18:14.119 --> 00:18:18.200 And then and I keep the twelve volt cable at the house somewhere. 264 00:18:18.599 --> 00:18:22.920 But yeah, so you can definitely charge. And they make one of these 265 00:18:22.000 --> 00:18:25.759 four let's see, I don't remember if I put that in there or not. 266 00:18:26.200 --> 00:18:30.240 Didn't put that in there. If I go over here, they make 267 00:18:30.240 --> 00:18:33.160 it where you can actually get one of these cables for I put it on 268 00:18:33.200 --> 00:18:38.200 my Father's Day list, one of these cables for USB. Now, this 269 00:18:38.240 --> 00:18:41.319 guy right here, we'll plug into a yay Zoo. In fact, it 270 00:18:41.359 --> 00:18:44.480 says yeay Zoo on the on the device here, but it's not made by 271 00:18:44.559 --> 00:18:48.920 yay Zuo. It's made by zeroone Store or whatever that is. So this 272 00:18:48.960 --> 00:18:52.440 plugs into the Yazoo and that plugs into USBA, so you can charge it 273 00:18:52.519 --> 00:18:55.400 via USBA. I got a couple of these as well. They work very 274 00:18:55.440 --> 00:18:59.200 well. They're not quite as fast for obvious reasons. It only charges at 275 00:18:59.240 --> 00:19:03.599 about zero point four to one amp, so it's but it is a charging 276 00:19:03.640 --> 00:19:07.039 solution. If you have one of those little bricks with the solar panel on 277 00:19:07.079 --> 00:19:10.920 it that you keep maybe in your bag to charge your phone, it's got 278 00:19:10.960 --> 00:19:12.960 two or three USB A ports on the front of it. You can charge 279 00:19:14.000 --> 00:19:17.240 this into that same brick and charge your HT as well. So it just 280 00:19:17.240 --> 00:19:21.480 depends in if you don't want to carry around a larger, heavier bioeno or 281 00:19:21.519 --> 00:19:25.599 a battery box itself. If you're trying to go lightweight, this might be 282 00:19:25.640 --> 00:19:27.400 a good option because if you've already got a charging brick for your phone, 283 00:19:27.720 --> 00:19:32.279 which I always carry a charging brick from my phone in my backpack, so 284 00:19:32.519 --> 00:19:36.000 this you can charge from a Yazoo. You can charge your Yazoo HT from 285 00:19:36.000 --> 00:19:40.680 an actual USB port instead of going directly twelve volts into it, So there's 286 00:19:40.680 --> 00:19:42.839 that option for you as well. It's just depends on what you want to 287 00:19:42.920 --> 00:19:45.039 use. I'm want to put that in my field day list as well, 288 00:19:47.279 --> 00:19:52.440 So back over here, let's refresh right there once again. I'm gonna share 289 00:19:52.440 --> 00:19:57.039 this field day list link in the chat. I do make commissions from a 290 00:19:57.079 --> 00:20:00.400 lot of items on that list, and it helps to grow the channel. 291 00:20:00.400 --> 00:20:03.160 So I appreciate it if you guys use it. But if you don't want 292 00:20:03.160 --> 00:20:04.880 too, that's okay. Just go to Amazon and search for these items we're 293 00:20:04.920 --> 00:20:08.319 talking about today. You can find everything. There's nothing special in here is 294 00:20:08.759 --> 00:20:12.839 stuff that I found on Amazon. You can always always benefit. I bought 295 00:20:12.839 --> 00:20:15.160 a pack. I think I bought two packs of these and put them in 296 00:20:15.319 --> 00:20:22.200 my um my, my my new, my new. Kyle made me buy 297 00:20:22.240 --> 00:20:25.880 it a plain box. In fact, you know what, Let's go find 298 00:20:25.880 --> 00:20:29.559 that real quick because I want to I want to see. Let's see. 299 00:20:29.720 --> 00:20:40.839 Let's go here, Kyle, I should put this in my I should put 300 00:20:40.880 --> 00:20:45.000 this in my uh list here, I put this in my list here in 301 00:20:45.039 --> 00:20:56.480 a second okay videos ideas, uh okay, this guy right here, No, 302 00:20:56.599 --> 00:21:00.279 that nice got sun drop. I didn't see a sundrop short. That's 303 00:21:00.279 --> 00:21:04.000 funny, Okay, I think it's the Yeah, thinks this one here all 304 00:21:04.079 --> 00:21:07.880 right, So I'm gonna put this in the chat. You guys go watch 305 00:21:07.960 --> 00:21:15.000 this. Kyle inspired me. He brought this to the More Expo and he's 306 00:21:15.039 --> 00:21:22.680 got one or maybe closer to seven of like everything in this freaking box it 307 00:21:22.799 --> 00:21:25.680 is. It's it's got a lid on the cover like that. You'll see 308 00:21:26.039 --> 00:21:27.440 he opens it up, he's going he goes through all the stuff that's in. 309 00:21:27.519 --> 00:21:32.960 He goes through everything he's got in here, which is neat to see. 310 00:21:33.079 --> 00:21:36.480 But then you see he opens it up and it opens from the middle. 311 00:21:36.720 --> 00:21:45.400 Watch this. It opens from the middle, and it's got this this 312 00:21:45.480 --> 00:21:48.440 deep side on the left hand side of your screen right now, and then 313 00:21:48.480 --> 00:21:52.680 this thing over on the right, this translucent piece over on the right opens 314 00:21:52.759 --> 00:21:59.440 up again and has another pocket underneath that. So let's see if I can 315 00:22:00.000 --> 00:22:02.720 where he does that part. Well, okay, so so he opens up 316 00:22:02.759 --> 00:22:08.640 this part here, opens that up, and then he closes that and he 317 00:22:08.720 --> 00:22:14.559 shows underneath over there, and it's got even more stuff right there. So 318 00:22:15.759 --> 00:22:18.279 crazy. He pulled that out at the More. I think it was at 319 00:22:18.279 --> 00:22:22.599 the More Expo, I'm pretty sure. At the and Shane and Kyle and 320 00:22:22.640 --> 00:22:25.759 I went to do a park. They're in Springfield, Missouri. He's only 321 00:22:25.799 --> 00:22:26.480 like a ten minute drive down the road. When we were at the More 322 00:22:26.480 --> 00:22:30.240 Expo, we're like, hey, let's go, h let's go activate a 323 00:22:30.279 --> 00:22:33.599 park. There's one right down the road. And he pulls this thing out 324 00:22:33.599 --> 00:22:37.440 and Shane and I are like, what is that. He's like, Oh, 325 00:22:37.480 --> 00:22:41.839 do you need a cable for a for an Allcraft Kicks one that has 326 00:22:41.839 --> 00:22:45.960 been made in sixteen years? Here? Here you go. You're freaking crazy. 327 00:22:47.000 --> 00:22:52.480 Uh right, Uh so it's it's insane. Anyway, I went home, 328 00:22:52.519 --> 00:22:53.480 No, I didn't. I didn't even go home. We went back 329 00:22:53.480 --> 00:22:56.480 to the camp side. I found this freaking thing on Amazon and I bought 330 00:22:56.519 --> 00:23:00.319 one immediately.

So if you guys are serious to 346 00:23:59.000 --> 00:24:00.799 go about going to buy that, click on cows affilatingly, because I wouldnt 347 00:24:00.799 --> 00:24:07.359 know about this if it wentn't for him. Fourteen forty four. Yeah, 348 00:24:07.400 --> 00:24:08.599 here it is right here. It's about fifty five bucks, so it's not 349 00:24:08.680 --> 00:24:14.240 cheap and plano. If you guys have ever been around fishing, I grew 350 00:24:14.359 --> 00:24:17.559 up fishing. My dad's a huge fisherman. I didn't grow up hunting. 351 00:24:17.559 --> 00:24:19.359 Everybody knows that I have a hunting lease nowadays, but I grew up fishing. 352 00:24:19.359 --> 00:24:22.359 We went fishing all the time when I was a kid. A Plano 353 00:24:22.519 --> 00:24:26.400 is a very well known name inside of the fishing tackle box world. They 354 00:24:26.400 --> 00:24:30.039 make very good, high quality products. They used to be made in the 355 00:24:30.160 --> 00:24:33.359 USA. I'm pretty sure they are still made in the USA, I believe. 356 00:24:33.839 --> 00:24:37.519 Don't quote me on that. I could be wrong, but either way 357 00:24:37.559 --> 00:24:41.279 they're still They are very well made, very well made items. So I'm 358 00:24:41.279 --> 00:24:45.599 gonna stick that in my field Day box and you'll see that probably in some 359 00:24:45.680 --> 00:24:48.640 videos that I do from field Day this year, because I've got it, 360 00:24:48.720 --> 00:24:52.599 and I've got all. I put all my power pole stuff in it. 361 00:24:52.640 --> 00:24:57.359 I put all my what beat a bunch of heat shrink fair eight beads that 362 00:24:57.400 --> 00:25:00.960 I just showed you, stuff like that, so that that's gonna be a 363 00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:08.279 thing at field Day this year as well. Bump field Day. There we 364 00:25:08.319 --> 00:25:12.000 go. Okay, yeah, so fair eyede beads. You can never have 365 00:25:12.039 --> 00:25:15.720 too many of these, because you never know where you're gonna get our FI 366 00:25:15.920 --> 00:25:19.079 or especially if you're operating multiple stations next to each other. It's always good 367 00:25:19.119 --> 00:25:25.480 to have these available various of four different various sizes in this kit. So 368 00:25:25.680 --> 00:25:26.880 yeah, pick that up, put it in the bag, because you will 369 00:25:26.960 --> 00:25:36.960 use it. I know I've used mine a lot. Plano factories in Plano, 370 00:25:37.000 --> 00:25:40.039 Illinois. See, we have a Plano Texas here and at one point 371 00:25:40.039 --> 00:25:44.240 in time, long long time ago. Bill Dance is taking notes right now. 372 00:25:44.279 --> 00:25:47.960 See I got that reference plan. There's a Plano Texas and for the 373 00:25:47.960 --> 00:25:51.319 longest time I thought that they were made in Texas, but I was told 374 00:25:51.359 --> 00:25:53.799 that wasn't true. But I don't know. Yeah, Plano, Illinois, 375 00:25:55.720 --> 00:25:57.240 that's still in the United States, so yeah, I'm pretty sure they're um, 376 00:26:00.279 --> 00:26:07.400 pretty sure they are still made in the USA. So I think there's 377 00:26:07.440 --> 00:26:17.680 a show about orders. Yeah, okay, second Amendment strong freaking awesome name. 378 00:26:17.880 --> 00:26:21.640 And I'm pretty sure this guy told me he was like fifteen years old, 379 00:26:21.759 --> 00:26:25.440 fourteen years old something like that. Great name. Dude, I'm getting 380 00:26:25.440 --> 00:26:29.759 my tech license. What do you think from model radio? Max prices three 381 00:26:29.839 --> 00:26:33.279 hundred dollars. I have a video on that. Go look at my best 382 00:26:33.400 --> 00:26:37.839 HT video of for twenty twenty two. I'm I haven't done the twenty twenty 383 00:26:37.839 --> 00:26:42.400 three version yet. Right now for three hundred dollars. Well at Daytonham mentioned 384 00:26:42.400 --> 00:26:47.720 they were selling the Yazu FT five for two ninety nine show special. You 385 00:26:47.720 --> 00:26:51.000 won't find it for that price again, but that was a heck of a 386 00:26:51.000 --> 00:26:59.680 price right there, probably under three hundred dollars. I would say the new 387 00:27:00.079 --> 00:27:06.759 Com ID fifty ID five zero that's about to come out might be roughly about 388 00:27:06.799 --> 00:27:08.680 that price. It's big brother, the ID fifty two that's been out for 389 00:27:08.680 --> 00:27:12.240 a while, is about four to fifty. But the new ID fifty that's 390 00:27:12.240 --> 00:27:18.000 coming out is a toned down versions, a smaller, less, a lower 391 00:27:18.039 --> 00:27:19.720 featured version of the ID fifty two. So it might be around the three 392 00:27:19.839 --> 00:27:26.279 hundred dollar price, but they haven't they have not um, they have not 393 00:27:26.960 --> 00:27:30.160 announced the price on that yet, so not sure. Maybe one of the 394 00:27:30.480 --> 00:27:37.799 walks on radios from better Safe Radio dot com uh great radios for a new 395 00:27:37.880 --> 00:27:42.559 Ham because they all come preprogrammed. So if you go to better Safe Radio 396 00:27:42.680 --> 00:27:48.519 dot com and you go up here and you these are the ones. The 397 00:27:48.640 --> 00:27:53.160 UV nine Papa x ray Uh yeah, UV nine Papa x ray is in 398 00:27:53.200 --> 00:27:56.480 stock in stock chips in four to seven days.

This one comes pre program it's it's channel capacities about nine hundred 401 00:28:06.519 --> 00:28:08.519 ninety nine channels. They have about nine hundred and twenty channels pre program and 402 00:28:08.559 --> 00:28:11.279 a lot of it HAM, a lot of itt gmrs, business band, 403 00:28:11.319 --> 00:28:15.079 that kind of thing. So if you're starting out you don't know where to 404 00:28:15.119 --> 00:28:18.799 listen, that's a good option right there. That's that's a decent radio. 405 00:28:18.480 --> 00:28:22.799 I've got the UV ninety mate, which is this one's like an eight WAT 406 00:28:22.880 --> 00:28:25.720 version. I think yeah, eight what version? The UV ninety mate is 407 00:28:25.720 --> 00:28:30.359 a ten WAT version. There's gonna be little, if any, very very 408 00:28:30.440 --> 00:28:33.559 not noticeable difference between eight and ten wats on NHT. You don't worry about 409 00:28:33.599 --> 00:28:38.279 that. I wouldn't worry about that either. Uh yes, Shane is correct. 410 00:28:38.359 --> 00:28:44.319 So the UV the any tone, well any tone is a little bit 411 00:28:44.559 --> 00:28:48.079 um, a little bit higher, but the any tone eight seven eight UV 412 00:28:48.160 --> 00:28:53.119 two plus is about three fifteen and it is yeah right there, three fourteen 413 00:28:53.200 --> 00:28:56.799 ninety nine. This is a great radio. This is one of my favorite 414 00:28:56.920 --> 00:28:59.480 radios. I've put this radio on my favorite list for the last like three 415 00:28:59.519 --> 00:29:03.839 years. Um. Well, it in its predecessor the model that came before 416 00:29:03.839 --> 00:29:10.279 this one. So uh, beautiful screen, a large long battery life, 417 00:29:10.359 --> 00:29:17.759 does full transmit and receive APRS beaconing five hundred thousand contacts in the DMR world. 418 00:29:17.799 --> 00:29:21.440 Does DMR and analog easy to program from the front panel. So this 419 00:29:21.480 --> 00:29:23.799 one's three hundred and fifteen dollars and it's it's a good option as well. 420 00:29:23.880 --> 00:29:26.240 So yeah, I don't want to spend too much time on that. It's 421 00:29:26.240 --> 00:29:30.920 a great question and and good luck on your test. But um um, 422 00:29:32.079 --> 00:29:34.039 yeah, it's not what today's live stream is about. But feel free to 423 00:29:34.039 --> 00:29:37.039 email me you want to email me, I'll give you some more details. 424 00:29:37.160 --> 00:29:47.160 Happy to talk about that. Uh, let's see two nineteen at get Well, 425 00:29:47.160 --> 00:29:52.319 that's not the that's not the UV two plus, oh unless it's an 426 00:29:52.359 --> 00:29:56.880 open box or something gig um. The thing that a lot of people don't 427 00:29:56.880 --> 00:30:00.240 realize is that those prices are set by any tone, any tone. Don't 428 00:30:00.279 --> 00:30:07.519 let people sell those radios for less. Let's see eight seven eight UV two 429 00:30:07.519 --> 00:30:11.440 plus. Yeah, eight seven eight UV two plus is three fourteen ninety nine 430 00:30:11.519 --> 00:30:15.880 at gigaparts as well. Let's just search for any tone. They might have 431 00:30:15.880 --> 00:30:23.680 an older model. Okay, that one right there. That's the UV two. 432 00:30:23.799 --> 00:30:27.160 That's the not the Plus model, that's the UV two, and it's 433 00:30:27.160 --> 00:30:30.240 still a great radio. It's nothing wrong with the UV two. Nothing wrong 434 00:30:30.240 --> 00:30:34.640 with the UV two. It doesn't have I think it does only transmit and 435 00:30:34.640 --> 00:30:38.079 not receive aprs, and it only holds three hundred thousand contacts for DMR. 436 00:30:38.119 --> 00:30:41.440 I think that's the main difference between those two models. So if you're not 437 00:30:41.480 --> 00:30:45.559 into DMR, you may not care about that. If you don't care about 438 00:30:45.599 --> 00:30:48.799 APRS, that's fine too, you may not care about that. But yes, 439 00:30:49.359 --> 00:30:52.359 yeah, that's that's the one right there. So but the latest and 440 00:30:52.359 --> 00:30:57.160 greatest of the UV two, which is three fifteen. Everywhere there we go. 441 00:30:57.240 --> 00:31:03.880 Okay, so back to field day. Yeah, you guys are I'm 442 00:31:03.920 --> 00:31:06.400 thirty seconds ahead of you guys. So everything you hear me saying right now 443 00:31:07.160 --> 00:31:11.759 is I said thirty seconds ago. So I see talking about the non plus 444 00:31:11.759 --> 00:31:14.039 model on the chat. Yes, you can get the non plus model for 445 00:31:14.119 --> 00:31:18.799 less than that. Absolutely, So okay, So this guy right here is 446 00:31:18.839 --> 00:31:23.039 a smart charger and I bought this let's see, I purchased this September of 447 00:31:23.119 --> 00:31:30.559 last year, and it's actually right over there. Yeah, so I've used 448 00:31:30.599 --> 00:31:33.400 this for a long time. If you watched my video about the which one 449 00:31:33.519 --> 00:31:37.599 was it? It was one of the power stations I was reviewing, and 450 00:31:37.119 --> 00:31:40.519 I had a lot of RFI. Well, this thing produces a lot of 451 00:31:40.599 --> 00:31:44.720 RFI. So if that's a concern to you, I would not recommend this 452 00:31:44.799 --> 00:31:47.960 smart amp charger. But I really like this smart amp charger because they're smart 453 00:31:47.960 --> 00:31:49.680 battery charger. Because it has a screen on it. You can set it 454 00:31:49.680 --> 00:31:52.079 for lithium, you can set it for AGM or lead acid, or you 455 00:31:52.079 --> 00:31:56.599 can set it for life pot four and it has a screen on it. 456 00:31:56.519 --> 00:31:59.440 It tells you exactly how much is charging, how many amps. It goes 457 00:31:59.519 --> 00:32:01.839 up to twenty amps max on twelve volts. It'd also do twenty four volts 458 00:32:02.480 --> 00:32:07.599 and it will uh, it'll show you what it's doing on the screen. 459 00:32:07.640 --> 00:32:10.799 I really like that. So don't use it while you're trying to operate radio. 460 00:32:12.240 --> 00:32:14.000 But you know, when you when you go to bed at night and 461 00:32:14.000 --> 00:32:15.240 you plug your stuff in charge up for tomorrow. It's a great it's a 462 00:32:15.240 --> 00:32:20.519 great option for that. Mine broke on me. The plug in the side 463 00:32:20.519 --> 00:32:23.519 of it got loose, like I would notice that would I would plug it 464 00:32:23.519 --> 00:32:27.759 in and and clip it to a battery, and it would beep and then 465 00:32:27.799 --> 00:32:30.279 turn off and then beep in then turn off when I would touch it. 466 00:32:30.359 --> 00:32:31.920 So it had a short in it somewhere. Well, I open it up 467 00:32:31.960 --> 00:32:35.039 and you'll see this on a video. I recorded a video about this. 468 00:32:35.039 --> 00:32:37.279 I open it up. I'm like, this can't be that hard to fix. 469 00:32:37.680 --> 00:32:39.119 I open it up and it had two cold solder joints on the plug. 470 00:32:39.160 --> 00:32:43.880 I resoldered and put it back together. It works great, So I'm 471 00:32:43.880 --> 00:32:45.319 not saying yours is gonna break. And sixty two dollars is a little bit 472 00:32:45.359 --> 00:32:49.559 high high of a price for something that but I used the heck out of 473 00:32:49.599 --> 00:32:53.240 mine. I use it everywhere, take it everywhere, charge my battery boxes 474 00:32:53.279 --> 00:32:55.960 with it, my external battery in my truck with it, everything, So 475 00:32:57.240 --> 00:32:59.559 I really like it. I think it works well. Other than the RFI. 476 00:32:59.599 --> 00:33:01.839 That's the only anything that really sucks about it. But for UM, 477 00:33:01.880 --> 00:33:05.759 for what it is, I think it's a it's it's a useful charger. 478 00:33:05.839 --> 00:33:10.519 So you'll see you'll see a video about that upcoming soon that will be UM 479 00:33:10.640 --> 00:33:14.759 how I repaired it, which if I could repair it, everybody else can 480 00:33:14.839 --> 00:33:25.720 do it. No problem. Okay, I'm just watching the uh watching the 481 00:33:25.799 --> 00:33:37.599 chat here Liberty Cave. Good, okay, cool, awesome, okay, 482 00:33:37.599 --> 00:33:38.880 good, yeah we're yeah, yeah, all if I'm noisy, but but 483 00:33:38.920 --> 00:33:45.000 it works well. So who's used this one tigress stuff I have? I 484 00:33:45.119 --> 00:33:50.599 have this chair. Some of you might laugh at this chair. Um, 485 00:33:50.720 --> 00:33:54.079 let's see. They have dog packs, that's awesome, tent sleeping bags, 486 00:33:54.160 --> 00:34:00.519 but uh chair, I don't know, maybe they don't have that one anymore. 487 00:34:04.640 --> 00:34:10.239 But I bought this chair a while back. It's one of those ones 488 00:34:10.280 --> 00:34:14.360 that sits down low to the ground and you might have trouble getting out of 489 00:34:14.400 --> 00:34:15.599 sometimes. Okay they don't. They don't have it on Amazon right now. 490 00:34:15.719 --> 00:34:19.519 Well, I bought that chair a long time ago. It folds up into 491 00:34:19.519 --> 00:34:22.079 a little bag and that's when I keep and I keep it in my truck. 492 00:34:22.280 --> 00:34:24.639 It's just a little spare chair that I keep in my truck that you 493 00:34:24.639 --> 00:34:28.480 know, when I get places I need. But I was really happy and 494 00:34:28.519 --> 00:34:30.800 impressed with the quality, so I put this. Um, this tent. 495 00:34:30.880 --> 00:34:34.440 I would love to have this, this hot tent. Of course, you 496 00:34:34.480 --> 00:34:37.519 don't need a hot tent this time of year in Texas, but this looks 497 00:34:37.519 --> 00:34:40.360 really cool because you got a hammock inside the tent, so you're not even 498 00:34:40.400 --> 00:34:43.679 sleeping on the ground. You're sleeping in the hammock inside of a tent. 499 00:34:43.840 --> 00:34:45.679 I guess you could sleep on the ground if you want to, you know. 500 00:34:45.840 --> 00:34:49.559 And this one right here, he's got a hammock, a cot, 501 00:34:50.000 --> 00:34:52.280 a chair. My chair looks similar to that one. And you can put 502 00:34:52.280 --> 00:34:55.079 a hot you can put like a titanium type stove with a smokestack in it. 503 00:34:55.159 --> 00:34:59.599 That's that goes through the through the roof. And this is just a 504 00:34:59.599 --> 00:35:02.280 really looking tent. I want to do some stuff with this this winter at 505 00:35:02.400 --> 00:35:07.920 um at the hunting Lease and maybe set up set up a radio station in 506 00:35:07.960 --> 00:35:09.760 there, kind of go out in the woods and just do some radio and 507 00:35:09.800 --> 00:35:13.559 do some hunting and or not hunting, but do some camping and whatnot. 508 00:35:13.639 --> 00:35:15.599 So but that's that's kind of a neat looking tent. So I thought that 509 00:35:15.679 --> 00:35:19.559 was a cool looking tent. I put that in there. The eco Flow 510 00:35:19.599 --> 00:35:23.400 Wave two, I got this I email. Eco Flow sent me a couple 511 00:35:23.440 --> 00:35:29.519 of power stations and battery and uh solar generators as they're called, and I 512 00:35:29.599 --> 00:35:31.519 emailed them and I was like, hey, I've got an opportunity where I 513 00:35:31.519 --> 00:35:37.199 could actually use this field day, and I wonder if you could send me 514 00:35:37.239 --> 00:35:38.079 one of these, and they're like, sure, here you go, and 515 00:35:38.119 --> 00:35:42.400 they sent me the extra battery. I didn't even ask for that. So 516 00:35:42.519 --> 00:35:45.800 I've got this and I'm gonna set it up inside of one of our tents 517 00:35:45.840 --> 00:35:49.320 at field day and see how well it works. So I set up on 518 00:35:49.360 --> 00:35:51.480 my patio the other day and turn it on and I was just sitting there 519 00:35:51.519 --> 00:35:53.039 with the with the two blowing me right in the face, and I'm like, 520 00:35:53.280 --> 00:35:57.199 this feels pretty durn good, man, it feels pretty durn good. 521 00:35:57.280 --> 00:36:00.760 So, but it has a it has this This port here is the is 522 00:36:00.760 --> 00:36:04.320 the AC vent. This port right here is the heat or vent, so 523 00:36:04.360 --> 00:36:07.400 it also acts as a portable heater. And then you put a tube and 524 00:36:07.400 --> 00:36:10.079 it's got an intake in the back there. It comes with two tube, 525 00:36:10.119 --> 00:36:14.159 so you put the intake tube on so it sucks the air in from wherever 526 00:36:14.199 --> 00:36:16.519 you are, and you can extend the tube. It's like a it's like 527 00:36:16.559 --> 00:36:21.039 an accordion style tube. You can extend it, bend it around, and 528 00:36:21.079 --> 00:36:25.880 then you put either the AC or the heat tube on whatever you want, 529 00:36:25.920 --> 00:36:30.519 and you stick it into the into the tent or something like that, or 530 00:36:30.519 --> 00:36:34.639 maybe you stick maybe you put the whole thing in the tent and you stick 531 00:36:34.639 --> 00:36:37.519 the heat or tube outside and so that it's blowing heat outside the tent and 532 00:36:37.559 --> 00:36:42.159 then you're and then you've got ac blowing inside the tent and heat blowing outside 533 00:36:42.159 --> 00:36:44.199 the tent, and you can switch that during the winter if you wanted to. 534 00:36:44.960 --> 00:36:46.920 So I'm looking forward to trying that. It seems to work really well. 535 00:36:47.920 --> 00:36:52.159 Don't know how long it will last with that extra battery, but they 536 00:36:52.159 --> 00:36:53.679 say it'll last eight hours, but I'm like, okay, eight hours in 537 00:36:53.719 --> 00:36:58.639 what kind of conditions? If it's one hundred degrees outside, it probably is 538 00:36:58.880 --> 00:37:01.840 not gonna last as long as if it's like eighty degrees outside. So yeah, 539 00:37:01.880 --> 00:37:06.760 I don't know. Eight hours is kind of like maybe maybe not not 540 00:37:06.920 --> 00:37:13.760 cheap. In five SKT didn't you recently get one of the oos? I 541 00:37:13.840 --> 00:37:19.400 think you said you got one of those if I'm not if I'm not mistaken, 542 00:37:19.639 --> 00:37:22.599 but but yeah, So looking forward to trying that, and watched a 543 00:37:22.599 --> 00:37:25.639 couple of YouTube reviews from different channels. I'm like, yeah, this this, 544 00:37:25.639 --> 00:37:30.320 this should work fine. So there's that not cheap, not cheap, 545 00:37:30.320 --> 00:37:34.440 but if you need a portable air conditioner, there you go. This is 546 00:37:34.519 --> 00:37:37.360 their seven hundred and sixty eight wide hour power station that they sent me, 547 00:37:37.920 --> 00:37:42.840 and they say, this is the largest power station you can get. Solar 548 00:37:42.880 --> 00:37:46.480 generator you can get that is sub one kilwatt so and it's it's small and 549 00:37:46.559 --> 00:37:50.039 lightweight. Cut this carry handle on the top. It works well. It 550 00:37:50.079 --> 00:37:52.000 produces a little bit of R five but it's not bad. It's not bad. 551 00:37:52.079 --> 00:37:54.679 Just kind of set it away from your stuff and it'll be just fine. 552 00:37:54.679 --> 00:38:00.480 So that's in there as well. There's those cables. This is cool. 553 00:38:00.559 --> 00:38:04.760 This go. This is non load bearing. This goes into the hitch 554 00:38:05.199 --> 00:38:07.599 on the back of your camper or your jeep or your truck or something like 555 00:38:07.639 --> 00:38:10.960 that. And I have put my spider beams seven meter mast into that and 556 00:38:12.039 --> 00:38:15.840 done parks on the air with it just hung an infed halfway from the spiders 557 00:38:15.920 --> 00:38:19.760 mast, extended all the way out, dropped it inside that hitch attached to 558 00:38:19.800 --> 00:38:22.800 the truck, and there you go, instant intent amount wherever you go. 559 00:38:22.920 --> 00:38:24.800 So I've got one of those in that I keep in my truck now and 560 00:38:24.880 --> 00:38:28.800 it works well for oh, it says currently unaviable. That's too bad. 561 00:38:30.000 --> 00:38:32.320 But there's another one right that's gosh, that's expensive. That's not right. 562 00:38:34.119 --> 00:38:37.599 This one right here that's more the that's closer to the price I paid. 563 00:38:37.639 --> 00:38:39.480 I think mine was like twenty or thirty bucks something like that. This one 564 00:38:39.559 --> 00:38:45.840 right here might be load bearing seventy bucks. Maybe it's a little bit more 565 00:38:45.880 --> 00:38:51.440 heavy duty, but it seems a little it seems a little high. The 566 00:38:51.480 --> 00:38:53.559 one I have is thin metal. You can tell it's not You couldn't You 567 00:38:53.599 --> 00:38:58.360 couldn't do much with it. So I've dropped this one in there because the 568 00:38:58.360 --> 00:39:01.679 one I bought is actually out of stock right now. But it's it's neat 569 00:39:01.719 --> 00:39:05.039 to have that to keep in the truck. You want to go out and 570 00:39:05.039 --> 00:39:07.880 do a poda activation and maybe set up somewhere where you're in a parking lot 571 00:39:08.000 --> 00:39:10.360 or there's no trees around or something like that. Just mount it to your 572 00:39:10.360 --> 00:39:17.960 truck and go easy. Yeah, don I thought you bought one of those, 573 00:39:19.079 --> 00:39:22.480 uh, one of those wave twos, So you have to let me 574 00:39:22.519 --> 00:39:23.599 know how you like it. I assume you're gonna use it at field day, 575 00:39:23.599 --> 00:39:30.039 but I don't know. I ran my twelve general trouble refrigerator two days, 576 00:39:30.039 --> 00:39:42.079 one hundred Empire battery. It was down to uh, are you talking 577 00:39:42.079 --> 00:39:45.360 liberty take cave? Are you talking about that wave two or what are you 578 00:39:45.400 --> 00:39:53.920 talking about? Kind of watching trying to watch the check. But yeah, 579 00:39:54.400 --> 00:39:59.679 question. When I transmit on my FtM six thousand, it about turns my 580 00:39:59.719 --> 00:40:05.159 sub urban engine off. It is wired to a house two hundred and twenty 581 00:40:05.159 --> 00:40:09.719 battery system with a separate charge system. When I transmit on FtM thousand, 582 00:40:09.760 --> 00:40:22.679 it turns my suburban eng Really, what's wired to your house? Your FtM 583 00:40:22.719 --> 00:40:27.400 six thousand is wired to your house. It's wired to a house two hundred 584 00:40:27.440 --> 00:40:37.199 and twenty MP battery system with a separate charge system. That sounds to me 585 00:40:37.800 --> 00:40:44.079 like you've got a problem with your suburban engine because I've never in my life 586 00:40:44.119 --> 00:40:52.119 heard of a fifty watt VHF UHF radio turning an engine off. I mean, 587 00:40:52.199 --> 00:40:53.840 yeah, it might be. It's obviously when you're transmitting, you know 588 00:40:53.920 --> 00:40:57.559 you're you're going to get some interference from stuff, you know, like when 589 00:40:57.559 --> 00:41:00.719 I key up an HT right here in the b is in the mic. 590 00:41:00.960 --> 00:41:06.159 But wow, I've never heard of such a thing. I would think that's 591 00:41:06.159 --> 00:41:10.280 a problem with your engine, because have you tried another radio, probably the 592 00:41:10.360 --> 00:41:16.360 least expensive way to do it, Try another radio and see what happens with 593 00:41:16.400 --> 00:41:24.599 that. But RF getting into the ECU, yeah obviously. Yeah. Yeah, 594 00:41:24.679 --> 00:41:30.679 that sounds like a really poor grounding issue on your on your vehicle computer 595 00:41:31.159 --> 00:41:40.760 or something like that. Yeah. House battery, Yeah, so a house. 596 00:41:42.079 --> 00:41:44.960 Yeah. So the way I read that, you say it is wired. 597 00:41:45.079 --> 00:41:47.239 You don't say what it is, whether it's the suburban or the radio. 598 00:41:49.239 --> 00:41:51.559 So I think I think it's I think you're talking about the radio. 599 00:41:51.679 --> 00:41:54.760 It is the radio is wired to a two hundred and twenty amp battery system 600 00:41:55.199 --> 00:42:00.280 with a separate charge system. So you're running your FtM six thousand inner home 601 00:42:00.320 --> 00:42:04.519 I assume in your home, or maybe it's all. Maybe it's all in 602 00:42:04.519 --> 00:42:07.119 the same system. Maybe it's all. Is it all in your suburban. 603 00:42:07.159 --> 00:42:09.639 You've got a separate battery in your suburban, and you've got a separate charging 604 00:42:09.679 --> 00:42:13.440 system for it, And when you key up your radio in your suburban, 605 00:42:13.480 --> 00:42:17.199 it shuts your engine off. That's still it's still it's still a that's still 606 00:42:17.239 --> 00:42:22.679 an engine issue. Yeah, RF is getting into your engine and your engine 607 00:42:22.760 --> 00:42:30.920 is not properly shielded. Your engine or your engine computer is not properly shielded. 608 00:42:30.679 --> 00:42:35.320 To prevent that sort of thing, I would I would try a different 609 00:42:35.400 --> 00:42:37.320 rate. The easiest thing to do. Get a different radio, get a 610 00:42:37.320 --> 00:42:42.920 different fifty watt radio and try it and see if you get the same result. 611 00:42:43.559 --> 00:42:50.400 It's possible. You your FtM six thousand is messed up somehow and producing 612 00:42:50.719 --> 00:42:55.119 spurious emission where it shouldn't be. It's possible. But if it does it 613 00:42:55.159 --> 00:42:59.119 with a second radio, you've got engine problems. And that's going to be 614 00:42:59.159 --> 00:43:02.159 my guess. I'm seeing you've got engine problems. Poor grounding, poor, 615 00:43:02.639 --> 00:43:07.920 um, poor, um? What are they? Poor? Shielding is the 616 00:43:07.960 --> 00:43:10.800 word I'm looking for on your on your computer and or your engine inside your 617 00:43:10.840 --> 00:43:17.559 suburban. So yeah, yeah, yeah, you need to You need to 618 00:43:17.599 --> 00:43:22.840 ground it for sure. But even without outground and it shouldn't shut off your 619 00:43:22.840 --> 00:43:29.079 freaking engine. That's ridiculous. Yeah, So okay, back to the situation 620 00:43:29.119 --> 00:43:31.960 at hand. I will say this real quick. I want to thank most 621 00:43:32.000 --> 00:43:38.559 of you or many of you who sounds like sounds like a Baifang distributor cap 622 00:43:38.599 --> 00:43:42.960 that's good. Um. I want to thank a lot of you who emailed 623 00:43:42.960 --> 00:43:45.920 me and commented on the AMA video that I did last Sunday. Um, 624 00:43:45.960 --> 00:43:50.920 that's the third time I've done an AMA video and I always get a lot 625 00:43:50.920 --> 00:43:52.559 of really good comments on it. So I think I'm gonna start that on 626 00:43:52.599 --> 00:43:57.199 a regular thing. I think I'm gonna start doing that about once a month. 627 00:43:57.639 --> 00:44:01.360 And my thought was to invite one get speaker generally a YouTuber. I 628 00:44:01.400 --> 00:44:06.440 think Shane's gonna come on with this next month and just say, Hey, 629 00:44:06.480 --> 00:44:08.159 we're gonna have an AMA you guys come in there, come chat. We'll 630 00:44:08.159 --> 00:44:10.920 just we'll just respond to the chat for the whole hour live stream. I 631 00:44:10.920 --> 00:44:15.320 don't half live stream however long it goes. And because I got a lot 632 00:44:15.360 --> 00:44:21.159 of really positive feedback on that setup last Sunday, after the stream last Sunday 633 00:44:21.239 --> 00:44:23.159 and also the LA the two times I did it before that, I got 634 00:44:23.199 --> 00:44:27.880 a lot of really positive feedback on it, so I was I was happy 635 00:44:27.920 --> 00:44:32.000 to hear that. I'm happy to hear that you guys are enjoying that and 636 00:44:32.039 --> 00:44:37.519 have and interested to come in and into the chat with questions. So yeah, 637 00:44:37.519 --> 00:44:38.480 so be watching for that. I'll make an announcement for that in a 638 00:44:38.480 --> 00:44:42.719 couple of weeks, but probably sometime in July. We're gonna bring Shane on. 639 00:44:42.760 --> 00:44:44.840 We're gonna do another AMA, and then it's gonna be a monthly thing 640 00:44:44.880 --> 00:44:47.400 from then on out. I've got Hayden and TiO who have both showed interest 641 00:44:47.440 --> 00:44:51.519 in coming on as guest speakers for an AMA. So that's, um, 642 00:44:52.119 --> 00:44:53.400 that's gonna be a thing. So yeah, I appreciate you guys being out 643 00:44:53.440 --> 00:45:00.559 there for that side note there all right, So B and CMA old UHF 644 00:45:00.639 --> 00:45:06.119 female. You can never have too many of those. Um the brands you 645 00:45:06.199 --> 00:45:12.840 buy on Amazon are okay, They're not as good as as like say, 646 00:45:12.880 --> 00:45:17.800 Infanol Connectors or or um like Messi and Plomi connectors, but they're less expensive 647 00:45:17.840 --> 00:45:21.239 also, so to have a couple of these as a backup is not a 648 00:45:21.239 --> 00:45:24.679 bad thing. I think. Uh these led lenser flashlights. I bought my 649 00:45:24.760 --> 00:45:29.239 dad one of these four it was it was the p P seven R I 650 00:45:29.280 --> 00:45:31.199 believe was the model I got for him. I got one of him. 651 00:45:31.239 --> 00:45:35.719 I got him one of those for Father's Day. And these are really well 652 00:45:35.760 --> 00:45:38.199 made flashlights. I met this guy at the More Expo in twenty twenty two. 653 00:45:38.679 --> 00:45:40.440 I was walking by his table. He stopped me. He's like, 654 00:45:40.480 --> 00:45:44.639 hey, Jason, I watched your show. Turns out he's a ham he 655 00:45:44.760 --> 00:45:47.039 owned this company, or at least that maybe it's a franchise. I'm not 656 00:45:47.079 --> 00:45:52.119 sure. And um, and he gave me some flashlights. Why. I 657 00:45:52.159 --> 00:45:53.639 went back this year and I bought a couple of flashlights from him because I 658 00:45:53.679 --> 00:45:57.840 liked them so well. So yeah, led Lenser makes really good stuff. 659 00:45:57.840 --> 00:46:02.760 You guys are gonna be how be with those if you if you try one? 660 00:46:04.679 --> 00:46:07.679 Uh Chrissy, Uh, thanks for the super chat. Yeah, I 661 00:46:07.679 --> 00:46:14.960 hope you do some field days stuff as well. Do you know of a 662 00:46:15.039 --> 00:46:24.880 good twelve volt battery eliminator for a Baio fent Baio fangman Uh, twelve volt 663 00:46:24.960 --> 00:46:31.920 battery eliminate? Oh uh no, I would just I don't have one on 664 00:46:31.960 --> 00:46:36.800 top of my head. Don I would just I would just probably search Amazon 665 00:46:36.880 --> 00:46:44.079 for it. I've never never really tried one myself. I got some more 666 00:46:44.119 --> 00:46:47.400 flashlights here this right here, this energy suitcase. Okay, so those are 667 00:46:47.440 --> 00:46:53.400 innavailable as well. Interesting. I need to update that it was a Simbi 668 00:46:53.440 --> 00:47:00.519 tool, notpe Okay Energy two hundred. I got one of these last year, 669 00:47:00.039 --> 00:47:04.719 used it several times. I broke I broke one of the MC four 670 00:47:04.760 --> 00:47:07.800 connectors on it. I need to repair, so I might make a make 671 00:47:07.800 --> 00:47:10.840 a video about repairing NC four connectors because I've never done that before. So 672 00:47:10.920 --> 00:47:15.400 but these are um. This works really well. I set this out in 673 00:47:15.440 --> 00:47:20.400 the stand right next to the RV and I used it charges RV trailer and 674 00:47:20.480 --> 00:47:22.199 it works good. I like the way that's set up, has its own 675 00:47:22.400 --> 00:47:27.440 It has a charge controller built into the back of it, so you just 676 00:47:27.480 --> 00:47:29.880 take the alligator clips that come with it and plug it into your battery and 677 00:47:29.880 --> 00:47:35.360 you're done. In fact, they call it a two hundred what suitcase, 678 00:47:35.480 --> 00:47:45.159 Yeah, suitcase, So I wonder if they changed the two hundred. Yeah, 679 00:47:45.199 --> 00:47:47.639 that's it right there. Okay, that one that was probably they probably 680 00:47:47.719 --> 00:47:52.960 have updated it since I got mine. That's probably a old model. But 681 00:47:53.039 --> 00:47:57.400 those work really well. It's nice and convenient because it's it's firm and it's 682 00:47:57.440 --> 00:48:00.400 rigid. It comes with a carrying case that you put it in that looks 683 00:48:00.400 --> 00:48:02.000 like a suitcase, so you just open it up. It's got a solar 684 00:48:02.039 --> 00:48:04.920 charge controller. You plug it up to your battery and you're done, and 685 00:48:04.960 --> 00:48:07.719 then as the sun moves during the day, you just kind of adjusted on 686 00:48:07.760 --> 00:48:09.199 the ground. That works well. I've been I've been happy with mine. 687 00:48:13.119 --> 00:48:16.440 These Mopica sensors are really cool. If you have an RV or a gas 688 00:48:16.480 --> 00:48:20.639 grill or something with a propane tank, you put this on the bottom of 689 00:48:20.679 --> 00:48:23.239 the propane tank. It's magnetic, so you just stick it on the very 690 00:48:23.280 --> 00:48:28.000 bottom of the tank and then you can download the Mopica app on your phone 691 00:48:28.239 --> 00:48:30.280 and it will tell you how much gas you have left, so you always 692 00:48:30.360 --> 00:48:34.480 know how much how much propane you have left when grilling or when you use 693 00:48:34.519 --> 00:48:36.639 it. I use it. I use the heck out of this thing on 694 00:48:36.679 --> 00:48:39.800 my RV during the winter when we're out at the hunting lease at during hunting 695 00:48:39.840 --> 00:48:44.920 season to keep a tab on how much propane I have because my heater and 696 00:48:44.960 --> 00:48:49.599 my trailer runs on propane. So it works great. All an app right 697 00:48:49.679 --> 00:48:52.480 on your phone and it tells you, tells you right how many, how 698 00:48:52.480 --> 00:48:58.719 many you've got? So so good product. There these ice Co fridges. 699 00:48:58.800 --> 00:49:00.599 I still have my ice ridge. I have that exact model right there, 700 00:49:01.519 --> 00:49:07.000 and they work well. Twelve ol fridges are not cheap, but that's probably 701 00:49:07.000 --> 00:49:09.559 the largest fridge I have. I'm gonna have two, two or three fridges 702 00:49:09.599 --> 00:49:15.079 at field Day this year or so. Probably I might do it like a 703 00:49:15.119 --> 00:49:17.039 comparison video or something on and we'll see. But those ice co fridges are 704 00:49:17.039 --> 00:49:40.960 really good as well. All right, let's look at the chat. Right, 705 00:49:42.199 --> 00:49:45.239 that's true done twelve old battery eliminator from Balfang. You may be able 706 00:49:45.239 --> 00:49:50.119 to use one from the b Tech. Yeah, the b Tech would work. 707 00:49:50.360 --> 00:49:52.480 The b Tech. The b Tech five by three is the same form 708 00:49:52.480 --> 00:50:00.199 factor as the UV five R, so all the accessories are interchangeable. Tom, 709 00:50:00.360 --> 00:50:04.199 thank you for the super chat buddy, appreciate you being here. Yeah, 710 00:50:04.239 --> 00:50:07.159 Stephen says, Mopica works great. Yeah, I love that Mopica thing. 711 00:50:07.159 --> 00:50:08.480 Man, It's awesome. Because I was always running out of gas and 712 00:50:08.559 --> 00:50:12.719 my old trailer, and now I had two bottles of my old trailer, 713 00:50:13.440 --> 00:50:14.960 so I would just have to get up in the middle of the night. 714 00:50:15.000 --> 00:50:15.960 I'd get cold. I was like, oh the gas is off, okay, 715 00:50:15.960 --> 00:50:19.000 So I get out and go out, turn the first bottle off, 716 00:50:19.039 --> 00:50:21.719 turn the second bottle on, and just go back. Because I like to 717 00:50:21.760 --> 00:50:23.239 keep one bottles, I don't turn both bottles on at the same time. 718 00:50:23.280 --> 00:50:25.719 I turn one on at a time. That way, if I run out, 719 00:50:25.800 --> 00:50:30.320 I've got a spare bottle. But my new trailer only has one bottle. 720 00:50:30.480 --> 00:50:31.880 Now I'm gonna upgrade that. I'm gonna I'm gonna put a dual bottle 721 00:50:31.920 --> 00:50:35.239 system on it, but right now I haven't done that yet. Either way, 722 00:50:35.280 --> 00:50:37.360 it's nice to see how much gas you've got because the gas is used 723 00:50:37.400 --> 00:50:39.960 for the water heater. My new trailer, the GA. The gas is 724 00:50:40.039 --> 00:50:44.880 used for the heater, the water heater and UM and of course the stove. 725 00:50:45.360 --> 00:50:47.320 Then the two burners that I have they use gas as well, so 726 00:50:47.960 --> 00:50:51.840 you know if you're using if you're taking showers at night and cooking during the 727 00:50:51.920 --> 00:50:53.719 day, then you're still using gas. So it's it's good to even during 728 00:50:53.760 --> 00:50:57.840 field day, we'll be doing that, and it's good to know how much 729 00:50:57.880 --> 00:51:06.400 gas you've got. I have a twelve volt cooler that's much more affordable than 730 00:51:06.519 --> 00:51:13.119 twelve volt fridge, not as large, but good for beverages. Were meats, 731 00:51:13.320 --> 00:51:16.920 I would be careful with meats. And I don't know what you mean 732 00:51:16.920 --> 00:51:23.480 by cooler instead of fridge. Give me a making model of what you're talking 733 00:51:23.480 --> 00:51:28.440 about and I'll look it up. Twelve ol fridges are not cheap, that's 734 00:51:28.480 --> 00:51:30.440 true, but you're saying a twelve volt cooler, so obviously it still runs 735 00:51:30.440 --> 00:51:35.880 on battery power. Um, so if it still runs on battery power, 736 00:51:35.920 --> 00:51:37.239 you can control the temperature. Then meats would be okay. And there I 737 00:51:37.360 --> 00:51:43.679 usually just put I usually just put drinks in mine. Honestly, I've kept 738 00:51:43.760 --> 00:51:50.280 I've kept some sandwich meat in it before. But yeah, just don't remember 739 00:51:50.320 --> 00:51:53.199 free swap your tanks. That's a good point. I don't really swamp my 740 00:51:53.199 --> 00:51:55.760 tanks. I have a place here I get them refilled, so I just 741 00:51:55.800 --> 00:51:59.480 take it up getting refilled and put the same tank back on. But yes, 742 00:52:00.039 --> 00:52:00.960 yeah, you don't want to forget it because as it is on the 743 00:52:00.960 --> 00:52:05.559 bottom of the propane tank, and it will it will get forgotten because you 744 00:52:05.599 --> 00:52:10.000 can't see it. So these these guys right here, oh, this the 745 00:52:10.239 --> 00:52:14.039 So this is the the soldering station that's sitting right here on the desk. 746 00:52:14.079 --> 00:52:15.880 You can't see it right now. This is soldering station I used. And 747 00:52:16.320 --> 00:52:20.599 last year we were making coacts out of some messy and plumbing stuff that Mike 748 00:52:20.639 --> 00:52:22.400 had and he brought his whole soldering station with him. So he carries this 749 00:52:22.440 --> 00:52:25.239 one into box to where I suspect he'll have it at Field diag in this 750 00:52:25.280 --> 00:52:29.280 weekend. I don't know, but that's a really good that hacko or hack 751 00:52:29.480 --> 00:52:34.880 hacko I think is how you say it, soldering station variable temperature control on 752 00:52:34.880 --> 00:52:37.559 this unit, and uh, really good soldering station there. So I keep 753 00:52:37.639 --> 00:52:40.880 that one in the in the box. These are really fun to keep around 754 00:52:40.880 --> 00:52:44.440 because you can use them for all kinds of stuff. This is the same 755 00:52:44.559 --> 00:52:49.719 type of espioner that's on the end of a pactenna and you can use those 756 00:52:49.800 --> 00:52:52.119 for guy wires, you can use him for tie downs, you can use 757 00:52:52.199 --> 00:52:55.880 him for anything you want to. So I've got a couple of packs of 758 00:52:55.880 --> 00:53:02.039 those in my in my my new Kyle tool box. So but that's uh, 759 00:53:02.400 --> 00:53:07.199 that's their parachord. Paracord is always good to have around. You're gonna 760 00:53:07.239 --> 00:53:09.880 run out, or someone's gonna get torn up, or you're gonna have to 761 00:53:09.880 --> 00:53:13.519 cut it to a short length and you lose part of it or something. 762 00:53:14.079 --> 00:53:19.320 So parachords is always good to have a round as well. But that's it. 763 00:53:19.480 --> 00:53:22.800 I will add some more stuff to in here between now and field Day. 764 00:53:22.360 --> 00:53:27.880 Amazon has um two days shipping on most things, especially if you have 765 00:53:27.920 --> 00:53:30.599 prime, you have two days shipping on most things. So if you're gonna 766 00:53:30.599 --> 00:53:34.679 if if if I've reminded you of something today, you might want to go 767 00:53:34.679 --> 00:53:37.079 out there and grab it so that you can get it shipped today and be 768 00:53:37.119 --> 00:53:38.840 here by Friday before you go to field day this weekend, because it will 769 00:53:39.079 --> 00:53:43.360 come down to being too late before you know, in another day or two, 770 00:53:43.360 --> 00:53:45.599 you're not gonna have time to get anything unless you have a local store 771 00:53:45.639 --> 00:53:47.519 to you. You have a local radio, still have a radio shack near 772 00:53:47.599 --> 00:53:51.480 you. Those of us Interron County have a mouser or down south, but 773 00:53:51.519 --> 00:53:53.239 they're closing the weekend, so you can go down there till Friday and get 774 00:53:53.280 --> 00:53:57.400 some stuff. But yeah, I just you know. The great thing about 775 00:53:57.400 --> 00:54:00.039 Amazon is like I think about sometimes, like oh I need to order this. 776 00:54:00.199 --> 00:54:00.880 I go click order. I was like, Okay, I'm not in 777 00:54:00.880 --> 00:54:04.320 a hurry for it. I can wait a day or two. I don't 778 00:54:04.320 --> 00:54:13.119 need it right now. So I love that part of it. That's good. 779 00:54:13.239 --> 00:54:15.320 Nol. I like that new T shirt idea. Ask me about Kyle's 780 00:54:15.360 --> 00:54:36.760 box h twelve volte cooler. Cooler was a coalman did not get as cold 781 00:54:36.760 --> 00:54:39.639 as a fridge. No, I wouldn't think it would. My fridge will 782 00:54:39.679 --> 00:54:44.519 get down. My fridge has ice crystals in it. One of them does 783 00:54:44.599 --> 00:54:46.719 well, two of them do. Two of them ice crystals. My Snowmaster 784 00:54:46.880 --> 00:54:49.960 that I keep in my truck, it's about seven years old now. It's 785 00:54:50.239 --> 00:54:55.400 it works, it still works, but it'd helped if I didn't keep it 786 00:54:55.440 --> 00:54:58.400 in the back of the truck and sit in the sun all day, it 787 00:54:58.440 --> 00:55:04.760 would probably work better. Oh well, uh second amendment strong, Okay, 788 00:55:04.800 --> 00:55:16.119 the video I was talking about, let's see bump. Oh help if I 789 00:55:16.159 --> 00:55:31.599 type the right U R L. Let's see right there. Mm hmmm. 790 00:55:34.800 --> 00:55:39.320 Best HT for twenty twenty two right here, and there's been two or three 791 00:55:39.400 --> 00:55:43.119 new models come out since I've recorded this video. I need to do the 792 00:55:43.159 --> 00:55:46.159 twenty twenty three version of it. But but you can go back to uh, 793 00:55:47.440 --> 00:55:51.239 you can go back and check that out. Just LinkedIn in the chat. 794 00:56:00.239 --> 00:56:02.559 Yeah, but that's it. So all right, guys, thanks for 795 00:56:02.800 --> 00:56:07.440 hanging with me today lunchtime. Live streams are always fun. And once again, 796 00:56:07.519 --> 00:56:14.159 those of you who might have just joined us, it's um. I 797 00:56:14.280 --> 00:56:16.800 appreciate you using the links we share today in the chat and going out and 798 00:56:17.199 --> 00:56:21.239 using my Amazon store. I can make commissions and it does help to support 799 00:56:21.239 --> 00:56:23.280 the channel. But if you don't want to, for whatever reason, just 800 00:56:23.480 --> 00:56:25.920 go to Amazon dot com and type in all the stuff we talked about today. 801 00:56:25.920 --> 00:56:32.039 It's not hard to find so, but that is where it is. 802 00:56:32.119 --> 00:56:37.840 So we will be operating as K and five tr KLO November five Tango Radio 803 00:56:37.000 --> 00:56:43.440 this weekend four Field Day, So I invite you guys to come out there 804 00:56:43.599 --> 00:56:45.159 and try to make contact with us. Put it, put it into your 805 00:56:45.159 --> 00:56:50.360 ham alert, Put kN five tr in your Hammelert. I will be operating 806 00:56:50.400 --> 00:56:57.320 FT eight, so it'll be easy to the reverse peakon network and the other 807 00:56:57.920 --> 00:57:01.079 network. The other spot or networks pick up FT almost immediately. So put 808 00:57:01.239 --> 00:57:06.519 k N five tr into your ham alert and U and watch for me on 809 00:57:06.559 --> 00:57:10.599 FT eight and then you can sometimes you can get sometimes you can get alerts 810 00:57:10.599 --> 00:57:15.239 about sideband also depend on who's picking it up. And lastly, one last 811 00:57:15.239 --> 00:57:19.960 time, the all Star node is the All Star hub is up and running. 812 00:57:19.960 --> 00:57:24.360 I got my individual node repaired yesterday. L four Affil is in there. 813 00:57:24.360 --> 00:57:27.639 What's up Steve in the an all Star? I saw you in the 814 00:57:27.719 --> 00:57:31.440 chat of course an all Star, So I got my Sherry node rebuilt yesterday. 815 00:57:31.519 --> 00:57:35.679 You'll see a video on that probably next week showing how to set that 816 00:57:35.760 --> 00:57:38.679 up. From scratch, and I've got it connected in there right now, 817 00:57:39.119 --> 00:57:43.920 and I'll be monitoring the all Star hub for the rest of the day. 818 00:57:43.960 --> 00:57:45.880 Four three, one three six is that All Star system, and I plan 819 00:57:45.920 --> 00:57:50.360 to take it with me to field Day this weekend and monitor it. You 820 00:57:50.440 --> 00:57:52.840 know, I won't be monitoring it every day because I'll be on the HF 821 00:57:52.960 --> 00:57:58.159 radio a lot, but I plan to have it running out there while we're 822 00:57:58.320 --> 00:58:01.679 at field Day and and have an HD turned on to kind of pick it 823 00:58:01.760 --> 00:58:06.159 up. When I hear somebody talking or something like that and I'm not on 824 00:58:06.199 --> 00:58:08.079 the HF radio, I will grab it and talk to you. So seventy 825 00:58:08.079 --> 00:58:12.000 three all thanks guys for joining everyone. Have a good field Day, and 826 00:58:12.360 --> 00:58:15.679 be sure to buy it. I should have put cases of water on my 827 00:58:15.159 --> 00:58:19.199 Amazon store, but I didn't go buy yourself a case of water or three 828 00:58:19.360 --> 00:58:21.960 if you're gonna Field Day in Texas this weekend because it's gonna be hot. 829 00:58:22.360 --> 00:58:22.079 Seventy three guys,
