Hey, 7 00:00:30.920 --> 00:00:37.640 guys, good morning. Letting the livestream kind of wake everybody up here. 8 00:00:47.159 --> 00:01:03.479 Paul from Ireland, what's up man? Good morning from ticket Hey forty five 9 00:01:03.599 --> 00:01:12.560 forty five? Why were you not here? Great video and audio? Thanks 10 00:01:12.560 --> 00:01:49.480 guys. Let's see testing. Uh, okay, let's see if this works, 11 00:01:49.519 --> 00:02:07.079 because all right, I'm the phone's connected to the star link right now, 12 00:02:07.120 --> 00:02:13.039 which means I can't really move far from here. But I'm gonna switch 13 00:02:13.080 --> 00:02:17.240 that because I want to go inside and show you guys everything there, so 14 00:02:19.639 --> 00:02:28.159 we'll see if this blips or not. Okay, all right, I switched 15 00:02:28.199 --> 00:02:30.719 the networks. I think it blipped for a second, but I think it's 16 00:02:30.759 --> 00:02:38.439 there now. So yeah, there's my scooter there paused for ten seconds. 17 00:02:38.520 --> 00:02:45.719 Now you're back, okay, thanks Chris. All right, guys, So 18 00:02:45.840 --> 00:02:49.800 here we are Beltonham Xpoke twenty twenty four and this is obviously the spring show. 19 00:02:51.800 --> 00:02:57.879 And I got here yesterday morning about six thirty and so I left the 20 00:02:57.879 --> 00:03:00.319 house about four am. It's about two hours fifteen minute drive down here. 21 00:03:01.240 --> 00:03:07.120 And it was perfect weather all day yesterday, clear sunny skies, a slight 22 00:03:07.199 --> 00:03:13.159 breeze got up to like seventy five seventy four to seventy five yesterday afternoon, 23 00:03:13.240 --> 00:03:15.039 so a little warm inside the trailer, but not bad at all. But 24 00:03:15.080 --> 00:03:20.280 you can see it's overcast this morning. Right now. It is anyway, 25 00:03:20.400 --> 00:03:23.520 little chili this morning. It was a little chili yesterday morning, but it 26 00:03:23.599 --> 00:03:30.360 warmed up pretty quickly yesterday because because there wasn't any cloud cover, so today 27 00:03:30.360 --> 00:03:35.080 we don't have that luxury. But I'm walk you guys through the outside. 28 00:03:35.120 --> 00:03:37.560 Then we're going to go inside. I did a speed test from inside earlier. 29 00:03:37.599 --> 00:03:40.879 It seemed to work fine, so hopefully this will move along. Just 30 00:03:40.919 --> 00:03:55.479 well, that's the row I'm on right there, and since I waited to 31 00:03:55.520 --> 00:04:00.240 come down yesterday morning instead of coming down Thursday night, I'm one row over 32 00:04:00.360 --> 00:04:04.199 farther than I used to than I usually am. I'm usually on this row 33 00:04:04.319 --> 00:04:10.120 right here, and there was actually an open spot on this row yesterday. 34 00:04:10.159 --> 00:04:13.039 I just decided to park on the end of it here, so maybe a 35 00:04:13.039 --> 00:04:34.040 little bit easier morning main tree humping. He comes and sets up in the 36 00:04:34.040 --> 00:04:46.519 parking lot like normal's doing a poda on the way home. No, I 37 00:04:46.519 --> 00:04:48.040 got something I gotta do to not so, probably gonna go straight home. 38 00:04:50.639 --> 00:05:01.600 I was like, I'll be west. What's up are you? He's sitting 39 00:05:01.639 --> 00:05:10.639 there talking on the radio, putting that piece out about Oh yeah, yeah, 40 00:05:09.600 --> 00:05:19.800 I still got mom. It's uh, it works well. He took 41 00:05:19.839 --> 00:05:25.120 this go box in on trade yesterday. Go figure. I don't know, 42 00:05:31.959 --> 00:05:41.680 man, network extender, that's an idea. Any truth about a new icon, 43 00:05:42.160 --> 00:05:46.399 not that I've heard. I didn't tell me anything, but I've not 44 00:05:46.439 --> 00:05:55.800 heard about a new icon they have all right, it's like the network whipped 45 00:05:57.120 --> 00:06:17.040 just then. Let's see make sure. Yeah, wonderful, wonderful innet Okay, 46 00:06:17.279 --> 00:06:21.519 Jack, let me know how that is. This is the food station 47 00:06:21.600 --> 00:06:42.800 there. Yeah, it keeps uh, it keeps pausing here as well, 48 00:06:42.959 --> 00:06:46.879 So I don't know. Maybe I don't know what it is. I did 49 00:06:46.879 --> 00:06:51.439 a speed test earlier, about an hour ago, and it worked fine inside 50 00:06:51.480 --> 00:06:59.639 and outside outside. Now there's really no excuse for it not working outside, 51 00:07:00.319 --> 00:07:12.000 like, oh my god, somebody's car along going off. You hear that 52 00:07:12.040 --> 00:07:29.160 a lot out here? Unfortunately you are back. Okay, So let's see 53 00:07:30.040 --> 00:07:33.000 need starlink in a bag, boy, that's for sure. Yeah. If 54 00:07:33.000 --> 00:07:36.439 I could carry the starlink around, that'd be a lot better at and T 55 00:07:36.600 --> 00:07:43.319 is not cooperating up here. So it's a guy set up here in the 56 00:07:43.360 --> 00:07:45.680 parking lot here that's doing three D printing. I thought that was kind of 57 00:07:45.680 --> 00:08:43.879 a neat idea. He's got stuff going right now, they doing They got 58 00:08:43.960 --> 00:09:03.039 far? Yeah, alright, I think it's working for the moment, so 59 00:09:03.120 --> 00:09:11.960 we'll keep going. Uh god, I'm not getting go as one dam Hey 60 00:09:11.960 --> 00:09:16.279 you got do you mean if you listen to somebody, you get it to 61 00:09:16.360 --> 00:09:22.639 list? This guy outside of this van yesterday had a really cool go box 62 00:09:22.679 --> 00:09:35.600 set up. He was toying with. It's up, bob, what's up? 63 00:09:35.639 --> 00:09:41.759 Guys? If the internet cooperates, I'm live streaming, but it keeps. 64 00:09:43.480 --> 00:09:46.759 Sometimes I'm on and sometimes I'm not. That's how it is. That's 65 00:09:46.799 --> 00:09:52.679 that real potable antenna. I think it's The website is r E E L 66 00:09:52.240 --> 00:10:01.720 e f h W R E E L infant Halfway and it I did a 67 00:10:01.759 --> 00:10:05.279 video about it on a Poda Galveston a couple of months ago. It's a 68 00:10:05.320 --> 00:10:07.559 neat antenna because you can wind it in and out and make it residant wherever 69 00:10:07.600 --> 00:10:11.600 you want it. Somebody asked, does it work at seventeen meters and I'm 70 00:10:11.600 --> 00:10:13.200 like, yeah, it will, because you just wind it out till you 71 00:10:13.240 --> 00:10:16.399 get the seventeen meters, you put it on your analyzer and go from there. 72 00:10:16.919 --> 00:10:20.679 So it is a It was a lot of a lot of people here 73 00:10:20.679 --> 00:10:26.039 in the parking lot yesterday all day yesterday, and they're pretty much all still 74 00:10:26.080 --> 00:10:30.440 here. But I think all the campers are cars are here, but pretty 75 00:10:30.519 --> 00:10:33.960 much every person is inside because he's looking a little thin out here. But 76 00:10:35.759 --> 00:10:43.559 it's also kind of gloomy with the uh with the weather clouds and whatnot. 77 00:10:43.679 --> 00:10:46.120 So we'll walk inside and see how well the internet does or doesn't work. 78 00:10:58.720 --> 00:11:07.919 Breen Oh, he said he was watching the stream, was walking by me. 79 00:11:09.080 --> 00:11:22.200 Okay, that's funny. Let's see all right, entrance. I did 80 00:11:22.200 --> 00:11:26.200 the speed test from the back of this building too, and it worked quite 81 00:11:26.240 --> 00:11:28.360 well. But you know, at and T, I don't know, said 82 00:11:28.360 --> 00:11:33.720 something disparaging about him when their network went down a couple weeks ago. Maybe 83 00:11:33.720 --> 00:11:37.120 they're punishing me. I don't know. I doubt it. I doubt it, 84 00:11:41.519 --> 00:11:46.200 all right, signman dot com right there. This location is Belton, 85 00:11:46.240 --> 00:11:50.919 Texas, just south of Waco, Texas, straight off the Interstate I thirty 86 00:11:50.919 --> 00:11:56.759 five. And this is a probably the largest show. Ah, it's a 87 00:11:56.799 --> 00:12:01.559 toss up between this one in Houston, Texas doesn't really have a large show 88 00:12:01.639 --> 00:12:07.279 anymore, but this is a good swapfest show. No real major vendors here, 89 00:12:07.559 --> 00:12:11.840 but lots of good swapfest table opportunities. A b R is there, 90 00:12:13.000 --> 00:12:24.600 yep, good morning, Like so up we go.

Yeah, without the dog, I'm not recognizable. So 93 00:12:39.639 --> 00:12:43.240 Arma Lock was at the Houston show and they were set up out in the 94 00:12:43.240 --> 00:12:46.159 parking lot and I talked to and he was here yesterday, so I'm like 95 00:12:46.720 --> 00:12:48.519 I was talking too, and he's like, oh, we got a booth 96 00:12:48.519 --> 00:12:52.720 in here today. They're gearing up to go to all the big ham fests 97 00:12:52.720 --> 00:12:56.159 pretty soon. But they make these cages here.

Hey, how you 107 00:14:37.960 --> 00:14:50.559 doing well? Thank you very much? Okay, oh good good good good 108 00:14:50.679 --> 00:14:54.360 good well, good luck on that, Yeah, expert Amflaar. That was 109 00:14:54.399 --> 00:15:00.519 Bob. He's the guy who sold them before two cellars ago. They're made 110 00:15:00.519 --> 00:15:03.559 in Italy and they export them and Bob was selling them for a while then 111 00:15:03.600 --> 00:15:07.919 I think bibera Plex had them and now Main Trading Company is going to start 112 00:15:07.919 --> 00:15:11.080 selling them. That was the live stream we did on the channel two weekends 113 00:15:11.080 --> 00:15:15.799 ago, and it was, uh, that was a fun live stream we're 114 00:15:15.799 --> 00:15:20.639 going to do another one probably, but he should have those amps. He's 115 00:15:20.679 --> 00:15:26.799 got twenty five or thirty of them coming in probably next week, and then 116 00:15:26.039 --> 00:15:35.080 that many more coming in on h on June. These these are I think 117 00:15:35.120 --> 00:15:41.320 these are the HRO rejects because because those guys used to all work at HRO, 118 00:15:41.480 --> 00:15:46.720 now they're not there. I don't know why. I don't get it. 119 00:15:48.080 --> 00:15:52.080 Those are the guys that used to be the both of them used to 120 00:15:52.120 --> 00:15:58.600 be store manager at the Texas h R O. All right, I'm just 121 00:15:58.639 --> 00:16:12.679 I try to be. I try to be everywhere you take the book from. 122 00:16:14.360 --> 00:16:18.840 I'm descripting those in the United States, guys about seventy years old. 123 00:16:18.919 --> 00:16:22.759 It's the most comprehensive audiobook I've ever saw. Wow. Okay, adio, 124 00:16:23.799 --> 00:16:30.600 that's kind of neat. High end Tube Amplifier's Design Toolbox. H nice, 125 00:16:30.919 --> 00:16:34.840 very cool. It's a twenty twenty three edition too. That's nice. Yeah, 126 00:16:36.000 --> 00:16:48.559 okay, in three L L good on cure z ed. Okay, 127 00:16:49.360 --> 00:16:55.559 if you're interested in one of those high end audio tube amplifier books Tube Audio 128 00:16:55.639 --> 00:16:59.480 not two amplifier two audio books in three ll L on cure z ed. 129 00:17:04.079 --> 00:17:15.200 How you doing work in the group So this, uh, this table here 130 00:17:15.240 --> 00:17:21.119 is where Jim the computer guy usually is, and apparently some genius decided to 131 00:17:21.160 --> 00:17:26.680 schedule the uh Claremore Oklahoma Hamfest this same weekend, which is the biggest handfest 132 00:17:26.759 --> 00:17:33.799 in Oklahoma outside of Tulsa. So this same weekend is both that that biggest 133 00:17:33.839 --> 00:17:37.160 hamfest in Oklahoma and this one of the larger shows in Texas. So I 134 00:17:37.160 --> 00:17:41.079 think these guys need to learn to communicate a little bit better about when they 135 00:17:41.119 --> 00:17:53.119 plan their weekends. But that it is what it is. Whatever, where's 136 00:17:53.160 --> 00:17:56.799 this ham meet? Hey you're in Monroe, Michigan. Thanks don.

That's all. That's a badass competition, 161 00:21:25.359 --> 00:21:34.599 that's all. Okay, okay, cool stuff there. What were you 162 00:21:34.640 --> 00:21:45.759 guys talking about with the yeah done, Yeah, N five SKT is correct. 163 00:21:45.759 --> 00:21:49.519 The big one called Hamcom shut down. They're talking about spinning up a 164 00:21:49.599 --> 00:21:55.519 new one in twenty twenty five that should be that should rival Hamcom. So 165 00:21:55.599 --> 00:22:08.359 we'll see if that happens or not. And the Hammer. The DFW HAM 166 00:22:08.440 --> 00:22:11.319 Expo is in June. I think it's on Father's Day weekend this year, 167 00:22:11.319 --> 00:22:15.480 and people keep talking about how it's two days, so I'm gonna have to 168 00:22:15.480 --> 00:22:17.920 go back to one. I missed that one last year, but I was 169 00:22:17.920 --> 00:22:37.880 there two years ago. Broken. I'm gonna tell you guys, I'm kind 170 00:22:37.880 --> 00:22:41.079 of a sucker for these icon these older icon hf rigs. The seven O 171 00:22:41.240 --> 00:22:47.160 six and the seven thousand seven O six Mar two G and the seven thousand, 172 00:22:47.599 --> 00:22:51.039 both great rigs. I own. I own two seven of six Mark 173 00:22:51.039 --> 00:22:53.200 two g's, but one of them is dead, one of them looks almost 174 00:22:53.319 --> 00:22:56.160 new, and I own two or three. I see seven thousand, So 175 00:22:56.279 --> 00:23:00.519 every time I see one at a ham fest, I look at it, 176 00:23:00.559 --> 00:23:02.680 and a lot of times they want too much money for him, and that's 177 00:23:02.720 --> 00:23:11.480 okay, but there's spent some decently prized ones here, but that guy's allowed 178 00:23:12.680 --> 00:23:23.200 zero five no four five zero five five to seven zero five nine four. 179 00:23:30.359 --> 00:23:36.960 So, but I have seen no FT eight fifty seven zero zero. Well, 180 00:23:37.000 --> 00:23:38.799 I'd take that back. Richard took win on on trade, but someone 181 00:23:38.960 --> 00:23:44.680 just came up to him and traded him for it. There wasn't anything on 182 00:23:44.799 --> 00:23:47.519 a table or anything. Seen a couple of eight ninety sevens. I have 183 00:23:47.559 --> 00:23:52.079 an eight ninety seven, really like it. No eight fifty sevens. I 184 00:23:52.200 --> 00:23:56.559 wonder why, because I think the Icon's a better radio than at fifty seven. 185 00:23:56.640 --> 00:23:59.920 As far as comparing an ICY seven thousand to an eight fifty seven, 186 00:24:00.559 --> 00:24:03.400 I think the ICOM's a better radio, but the A fifty seven was made 187 00:24:03.440 --> 00:24:11.480 for longer. They're discontinued now, but they were not discontinued as early as 188 00:24:11.519 --> 00:24:15.359 the ic seven thousand was. So I'm surprised I haven't seen because I would 189 00:24:15.400 --> 00:24:18.039 like to have an eight fifty seventeen, And people say, well, why 190 00:24:18.039 --> 00:24:22.039 do you want that radio? Because I don't have one because it would go 191 00:24:22.079 --> 00:24:25.200 in a man pack. I've got like three or four different man packs I'm 192 00:24:25.200 --> 00:24:27.920 building out right now. You'll see videos on that later. But that's why. 193 00:24:30.880 --> 00:24:33.880 Yeah, that's why. So none, but I haven't found any here. 194 00:24:33.920 --> 00:24:38.480 I just thought that was odd. Several icms, no yazers except for 195 00:24:38.519 --> 00:24:41.000 the eight ninety seven, and that's a little bit bigger. It's not really 196 00:24:41.079 --> 00:24:45.359 man. It could be a man pack. It could be a go bat 197 00:24:45.440 --> 00:24:48.079 box radio. But I don't know. Just something odd I noticed, that's 198 00:24:48.119 --> 00:24:56.079 all all right. So here's this stuff here. I skipped over the tool. 199 00:24:56.160 --> 00:24:59.519 There's a bunch of tool stuff on that table. That's when I was 200 00:24:59.559 --> 00:25:48.440 talking to you. You guys, there we go. No, I know 201 00:25:48.559 --> 00:25:52.480 you didn't do it. I know I saw, yeah, I saw you 202 00:25:52.599 --> 00:26:00.680 in the chat. I know there is another seven thousand right there where you 203 00:26:00.759 --> 00:26:03.759 are. Time. Yeah, yeah, worse. I didn't even see Frank 204 00:26:03.799 --> 00:26:19.039 in the chat. That's right morning. Hell are you good? Recognize that 205 00:26:19.079 --> 00:26:37.200 guy? I can't remember his name?

So they 214 00:28:45.519 --> 00:29:00.319 didn't sell all their tables this time, which is unusual. But what's that 215 00:29:00.400 --> 00:29:04.160 cover? One forty eight gt O?

Only so check this out, 233 00:33:04.599 --> 00:33:07.839 all right, viewers, come here, I found I found the dinings of 234 00:33:07.920 --> 00:33:13.000 the rock Rights.

Yeah tell me here, yeah, I 236 00:33:16.400 --> 00:33:20.960 would say so, yeah, yeah, because I wanted I was thinking of 237 00:33:21.039 --> 00:33:24.039 getting the three hundred from Richards. Yeah, and it's about three fifty he 238 00:33:24.119 --> 00:33:29.279 started three seventy nine. Okay, okay, so it's like, do you 239 00:33:29.359 --> 00:33:31.160 would you get a four hundred or would you get a three hundred. I 240 00:33:31.240 --> 00:33:39.599 would get the three hundred because well, and I only want APRS for trolling 241 00:33:39.720 --> 00:33:43.960 purposes. But it's a lot easier to do APRS on that. Yeah. 242 00:33:44.079 --> 00:33:45.079 Yeah, well that's what I was just saying. He like everybody like, 243 00:33:45.160 --> 00:33:49.960 but yeah, ak and yeah probably you and anyone else that has the New 244 00:33:50.000 --> 00:33:54.480 Year suies. Yeah, it's like you just can't make yeah yeah, yeah, 245 00:33:54.599 --> 00:34:00.279 yeah. The five hundred is easy. The five hundred is not easy 246 00:34:00.319 --> 00:34:02.240 to send messages over a p R S with. Did you see what Jason 247 00:34:02.279 --> 00:34:05.720 had to do to get a quirty keyboard? Yeah, I haven't watched that 248 00:34:05.880 --> 00:34:07.840 video yet, but I I like this thumbnail. It says we've done with 249 00:34:08.000 --> 00:34:12.360 Yaz refuses to or something.

Yeah, one for the four hundred, two for 252 00:34:23.719 --> 00:34:27.199 the three. And I like the three hundred better because you can use fusion 253 00:34:27.280 --> 00:34:29.360 on both the top and bottom band. You can't do that on that one. 254 00:34:29.800 --> 00:34:31.559 And I like, I don't I like the smaller form factor of the 255 00:34:31.599 --> 00:34:37.440 screen because I've got five radios in my truck, but I've got and yes, 256 00:34:37.280 --> 00:34:40.920 I don't think this would fit. Yeah yeah, that takes up a 257 00:34:40.960 --> 00:34:46.079 lot more room. Everybody's typing one. Yeah, some people are typing three. 258 00:34:46.320 --> 00:34:52.320 Paul Type three. I don't spend any of yeah right, yeah, 259 00:34:54.159 --> 00:34:59.840 now that's a that's a good price on that either, even if you yeah 260 00:35:00.119 --> 00:35:05.639 yeah, it's got the proprietary year old technology right yeah. Yeah, the 261 00:35:05.719 --> 00:35:07.880 many many USD that's the only way to go. It is mini USB. 262 00:35:09.800 --> 00:35:13.639 What's up? Andrew? How are you? Yeah? You too?

Yeah, right, I could. 269 00:35:52.159 --> 00:35:55.360 I could, yeah, but that would that would be yeah, too 270 00:35:55.440 --> 00:36:02.400 much effort. Oh boy, here we go. So back to the tables. 271 00:36:05.719 --> 00:37:09.599 We're just about at the end. Sad that you are you justin you're 272 00:37:09.599 --> 00:37:15.119 asking good first radios to grow into both htm mobile. Literally, I have 273 00:37:15.280 --> 00:37:20.480 videos on my channel that says best mobile radio, best handheld radio. I 274 00:37:20.559 --> 00:37:22.599 haven't done a handheld for twenty twenty four yet, but my one for twenty 275 00:37:22.679 --> 00:37:30.280 twenty three was in the latter part of the year, and then twenty twenty 276 00:37:30.320 --> 00:37:35.559 four I've done the best mobile radio. But what I tell people is this. 277 00:37:38.119 --> 00:37:45.159 I tell people to buy the most expensive radio that you can afford, 278 00:37:45.400 --> 00:37:49.880 and if that's a twenty five dollars ball thing, then fine. Do that 279 00:37:51.039 --> 00:37:52.719 is having a radio is better than not having a radio if you're you know, 280 00:37:52.760 --> 00:37:59.639 if you have a license what's up? Rob? Hey good? But 281 00:38:00.039 --> 00:38:04.320 if you can, but your more expensive radios are going to last you longer. 282 00:38:04.480 --> 00:38:07.360 So the kinwoods, the icons of yay Zu's what's up, they're going 283 00:38:07.400 --> 00:38:12.880 to last you longer than a thirty dollars ball fang or a fifty dollars walks 284 00:38:12.920 --> 00:38:17.400 on radio or something like that. So bye bye by the most expensive radio 285 00:38:17.480 --> 00:38:23.519 that you can afford. Nope, not many eight ninety ones around here. 286 00:38:25.119 --> 00:38:31.480 Not many eight ninety ones this weekend at all. Eight fifty seven and eight 287 00:38:31.599 --> 00:38:35.960 ninety ones have been in the used market, I should say, have been 288 00:38:36.079 --> 00:38:45.400 rather non existent this weekend. The eight ninety one is so cheap, brand 289 00:38:45.440 --> 00:38:47.639 new in a box, it's almost not worth buying unless you find one for 290 00:38:47.719 --> 00:38:53.039 like three hundred bucks. It's almost not worth buying an eight ninety one. 291 00:38:54.000 --> 00:38:59.079 I saw a U seventy three hundred yesterday. A guy wanted like nine hundred 292 00:38:59.119 --> 00:39:02.079 dollars for it, and I'm like, eh, yeah, so I guess 293 00:39:02.199 --> 00:39:10.119 you know, and he stepped like the last three weeks. So now I'll 294 00:39:10.199 --> 00:39:17.880 just shut it off. Probably any k X three No, No, k 295 00:39:19.119 --> 00:39:22.320 X three, not that I've seen. I found a guy with a K 296 00:39:22.760 --> 00:39:27.840 three s out in the parking lot. He had done a bunch of work 297 00:39:27.880 --> 00:39:30.679 to it, and he had a bill of sale on it for that was 298 00:39:30.760 --> 00:39:34.360 like seventy four hundred dollars he had spent on doing all the work to it, 299 00:39:34.440 --> 00:39:37.960 but it didn't have an actual asking price or what he was trying to 300 00:39:37.000 --> 00:39:42.360 sell it for. I don't really know. I'm sure it's probably less than 301 00:39:42.400 --> 00:39:58.079 that. Ja. Yeah, what's up? Oh hey man, how are 302 00:39:58.079 --> 00:39:59.800 you? I'm good? Good?
