Speaker 1: Ham Radio YouTube channels that go live that have live streams,
Speaker 1: so I'm guessing that most of you have probably subscribed
Speaker 1: to these guys already, but just in case you haven't,
Speaker 1: just in case there's someone out there that hasn't heard
Speaker 1: of these channels, or if you're watching on Team Replay,
Speaker 1: if you haven't heard in one of these channels, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna get each of these guys to go and just
Speaker 1: give us like a one to two minute overview, high
Speaker 1: level overview of what's your channel's about, what you talk about,
Speaker 1: you know, when, how many videos you post, if you
Speaker 1: have live streams, what your specialty is. I know what
Speaker 1: Freddie mac specialty is because he's been on my live
Speaker 1: stream numerous times teaching me the specialty of all star. Right,
Speaker 1: so because he's my all star go to guy, I have.
Speaker 7: An idea we should do a subscriber battle royale where
Speaker 7: we hold I mean like like like we put these
Speaker 7: two head to head and we have like two thousand subscribers,
Speaker 7: and then whoever wins gets all two thousand.
Speaker 1: That'd be cool if there was a way to do

Speaker 1: of third party holding debscriber hold holding holding account holding thing.
Speaker 7: Yeah, that would be awesome.
Speaker 1: That would be cool. It's a good idea. It's not practical,

Speaker 1: So you got it. You got It's gotta be care yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, if you if you found one that Robert

Speaker 1: think he does. Maybe he does, heck if I know.
Speaker 1: But yeah, as yeah, But so that was that was
Speaker 1: a fun. It was a fun conversation yesterday. So all
Speaker 1: Star is where you know, I'm there. I'm on it
Speaker 1: almost every day. I do have a two twenty a
Speaker 1: Linko radio right there that shoot, like like a year
Speaker 1: and a half I had it running as an All
Speaker 1: Star mode, and like a year and a half ago,
Speaker 1: the Pie it was an old Pie two and it
Speaker 1: worked fine until it died. And uh, and I just
Speaker 1: need to rebuild. I need to take a Pie three
Speaker 1: plus B board that's laying around here just in a
Speaker 1: spare board and rebuild it and put to put ASL
Speaker 1: three on it, which was not out at the time,
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna do that, and I'll have that one
Speaker 1: in the hamshack. But really the only one that I
Speaker 1: have right now that I that I use, that I
Speaker 1: keep on on a regular basis is the one in
Speaker 1: the truck. So I'm always on it when I'm out
Speaker 1: driving about and if Verizon decides to stay connected when
Speaker 1: I'm parked in my driveway, which is a hit or miss,
Speaker 1: then I'm on it when I'm at home as well.
Speaker 1: But I try to get on there as much. So
Speaker 1: you guys that have All Star join us on four
Speaker 1: three one, three six. It's the All Star hubb in
Speaker 1: the Cloud. And with that, I'm gonna turn it over
Speaker 1: to Freddy Mac because Freddy Mac is my all Star elmer.
Speaker 1: And when we installed it in to cloud, he was there.
Speaker 1: Kyle was with us, I think, and right, yeah, yeah, well,
Speaker 1: and that was the ASL three and that was a
Speaker 1: brand new version at the time. They had a couple
Speaker 1: of things and then they did a great job. No
Speaker 1: complaints about ASO three, but they but you know, it
Speaker 1: took a little bit, uh to get that going. So yeah,
Speaker 1: Freddy Mac welcome. Looks like looks like Josh has gone
Speaker 1: up maybe thirty five and you've gone up but maybe okay, okay, yeah, good,
Speaker 1: so keep those coming. Yeah, and Frank just shared the
Speaker 1: link to the chat, so co hosting. Yeah, welcome Freddy,
Speaker 1: and tell us about your channel.
Speaker 3: Well, folks, I'm Freddy Mack, your Hamm Radio crusader, and
Speaker 3: I am coming up on my third year anniversary Joe
Speaker 3: January tenth, twenty twenty six will be my official any
Speaker 3: of my third year on YouTube. And yeah, I was
Speaker 3: in public service for a lot of years, and of
Speaker 3: course I was HAM since ninety eight. Kind of put
Speaker 3: things on the back burner for my career, family, et cetera.
Speaker 3: Because you know, your public servants, you don't make a
Speaker 3: whole lot of money.
Speaker 6: It's not exactly why you're there.
Speaker 3: But when retirement rolls around, things get a little bit better.
Speaker 3: So I thought, you know, I'm gonna do a YouTube channel,
Speaker 3: and lo and behold, I tune into this guy's live stream.
Speaker 3: Ham Radio two point zero and Josh are doing a live.
Speaker 6: Stream on all Star Link. I'm like all Starlink.
Speaker 3: I wonder if this is anything like Echo Link. You know,
Speaker 3: the link got me going. So I'm watching these live
Speaker 3: streams and I'm like, this is kind of cool. What's
Speaker 3: this about? So I go back and watch some Jason's
Speaker 3: former videos.
Speaker 6: About all Star Link.
Speaker 3: I'm like, hey, this is pretty cool.
Speaker 6: I'm liking the idea of this whole thing.
Speaker 3: So I dove into it, right, I'm like, okay, and
Speaker 3: then I got totally lost because I did I know
Speaker 3: the difference between the ham Voyd version and the Axel version,
Speaker 3: because that you know, one's arch Lenox the other one's
Speaker 3: debbian Lenox, and I just didn't know that.
Speaker 6: And I'm trying to build.
Speaker 3: Nodes like crazy, and I'm failing like crazy. I just
Speaker 3: can't make anything work right. And then when I finally
Speaker 3: do I miss, you know, I cross reference to the
Speaker 3: wrong version video and I totally fail all over again.
Speaker 3: So once I got a handle on everything, and I'm like,
Speaker 3: you know what, I'm gonna do the YouTube channel thing,
Speaker 3: and I'm gonna do some I'm gonna do. First, I'm
Speaker 3: gonna start doing some review videos because I want to
Speaker 3: know more about some of these walkies, because that's about
Speaker 3: the time I got introduced to the cheap Chinese radio,
Speaker 3: and you know, I finally got my first ballfing five
Speaker 3: R right before I retired, because you know, say, hey,
Speaker 3: it's cheap radio, so I thought I'd.
Speaker 6: Do some radio reviews, et cetera, et cetera.
Speaker 3: And I know that I'm going to start doing a
Speaker 3: comprehensive how to on All Star Link ham Void version
Speaker 3: because it didn't quite grasp the ASL three version. There
Speaker 3: was a Raspberry Pie but there was there was a
Speaker 3: Raspberry Pie version, but there wasn't a lot at the
Speaker 3: time that you could do for extras, like like Skyworn
Speaker 3: plus or even Auto Sky that came with Handboy, or
Speaker 3: you know, doing some customizations for they had Allmind didn't
Speaker 3: have Superman yet, right, It's kind of back and forth,
Speaker 3: but I mean they eventually did. But as time went
Speaker 3: by and I'm doing all these instructional videos for Handboy
Speaker 3: version of All Star Link, the channel's growing. It's like
Speaker 3: crazy people are reaching out. It's like, hey, can you
Speaker 3: help me with this? And like sure, you know, because
Speaker 3: I've been there. You know. It's just like there's a
Speaker 3: lot of things, little things, little nuances you don't get
Speaker 3: told unless you know, or find out and started sharing
Speaker 3: as much as I could and then lo andhold Jill Juicy.
Speaker 3: June of last year, June of twenty three, June, let
Speaker 3: me think about this.
Speaker 6: June of twenty.
Speaker 1: Two, Okay, a year and a half ago.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so June of twenty four is when the guys
Speaker 3: at ASL three reached out. ASL all Star Link reached out.
Speaker 3: It's like, hey, we're releasing the ASL three version.
Speaker 6: It's all, you know, new and.
Speaker 3: Improved, YadA, YadA YadA, and hey, would you like to
Speaker 3: do the the intro video for you know, do a
Speaker 3: review and show us how do you install it and
Speaker 3: et cetera. Sure, totally, I'm all about that. So yeah,
Speaker 3: I've been kind of into that ever since. And then
Speaker 3: Jason and Kyle and and and Frank and gray Man
Speaker 3: Poda and Rob dragged me out to Springfield, Missouri and said, hey,
Speaker 3: let's go do a poda.
Speaker 1: That was your first PODA that year, was first.
Speaker 3: Quota and nervous as a cat man. But dude, that
Speaker 3: was so much fun.
Speaker 1: It's addicting, really really very addicting. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Absolutely, so yeah, I'm kind of throwing some PODA in
Speaker 3: the mix when I get a chance to. I've actually
Speaker 3: got a whole PoTA video I did for Summerfield not
Speaker 3: Field Day, Summer Parks.
Speaker 6: Support your Parks Parts weekend.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I filmed that and I still haven't edited because person.
Speaker 3: But it was a hot, miserable day and I was
Speaker 3: trying to rip another radio at the same time, and yeah,
Speaker 3: I got to get back to that. But dude, and
Speaker 3: I don't know why I'd rather Poda by myself. I
Speaker 3: don't know. It's a lot of setup, but it's just
Speaker 3: like I can focus on one thing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I can see that. I can see that
Speaker 1: I liked to PODA during a weekday. I don't like
Speaker 1: going out on Saturdays because the parks are crowded. There's
Speaker 1: more people out there.
Speaker 7: You just need to set it up.
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, that's true. That's true. There are more people
Speaker 1: on the bands too, because people aren't at work, they're
Speaker 1: at home. They're like, oh, hey, Hamblert, Jason's on the air. Okay, good,
Speaker 1: you know. So it's kind of a catch twenty two.
Speaker 1: But I don't find I don't find it hard to
Speaker 1: activate Poda during the week I have never unless the
Speaker 1: band conditions are total crap. I've never really had a
Speaker 1: problem being oh it's Wednesday, nobody's out the air. I've
Speaker 1: never had that issue. Just you know, just sometimes the
Speaker 1: bands are just dead. But you know, generally speaking, I
Speaker 1: would rather activate during the week anyway.
Speaker 3: But yeah, my one Poto failure, the one that I
Speaker 3: have that I didn't activate, is was done on a whim.
Speaker 3: I was like, I've got two hours to get to
Speaker 3: this one place.
Speaker 6: That's only going to take me thirty minutes to get there.
Speaker 3: I can do this. And then I parked right underneath
Speaker 3: an electric line. It's a transmit. Yes, yes, I got
Speaker 3: three four contacts.
Speaker 6: I'm like, pulling the plug on this I got. You know,
Speaker 6: it was just I planned too quickly.
Speaker 3: I like, I like to plan stuff, but you know,
Speaker 3: I have to be ready enough where I could deploy
Speaker 3: when I want to.
Speaker 1: But yeah, yeah, no, I'm with you on that. We
Speaker 1: were going. I think we were on our way to Dayton,
Speaker 1: weren't we.
Speaker 7: Frank.
Speaker 1: One time it was me, Frank and Mike in my
Speaker 1: truck and we stopped overnight at a park at a
Speaker 1: PoTA park, and our RV hookup spot was right next
Speaker 1: to a transformer. Oh, Mike set up an antenna and
Speaker 1: it was.
Speaker 7: Like that was in Arizona or New Mexico?
Speaker 3: Was it?
Speaker 7: It was in a New Mexico because when we go
Speaker 7: to any of these conventions, we usually just hit a
Speaker 7: park world fast or we just sleep.
Speaker 1: On the Grand Canyon.
Speaker 7: There's something like that. Yeah, it had to be the
Speaker 7: Grand Canyon because that's when Mike was with us, and
Speaker 7: that was the spot the trailer wanted to get level.
Speaker 1: Well, and that was at the Grand Canyon. But I'm
Speaker 1: talking about when we stopped for the night and our
Speaker 1: way there. Yeah, we were.
Speaker 7: Yeah, the transformer was literally right behind us, right there.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, I was like, oh my god.
Speaker 7: What can you do?
Speaker 3: Yeah? I actually managed to find a spot. We have
Speaker 3: a in the next county over, which is my home county.
Speaker 3: Really there is a wildlife Management area and which they
Speaker 3: have I mean it's parking spots for hunters during hunting
Speaker 3: season that are so remote the grass is growing up
Speaker 3: through the pavement.
Speaker 7: Wow.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've got a few of these really scoped out now,
Speaker 3: because you know, between hunting seasons or what have you,
Speaker 3: when the weather's just right, you've got a place to park,
Speaker 3: you got to place set up and nobody, nobody is
Speaker 3: out there and the noise level is perfect. It's like
Speaker 3: so rule, it's not even funny.
Speaker 7: I have my spot in my park and even on
Speaker 7: the busy weekends, man, there's there's hardly anyone over by me.
Speaker 7: I can be out there and no one bothers me.
Speaker 7: Unlike another spot where a guy with a fishing pole
Speaker 7: pulled down my line. Oh, pulled down my intent. He stopped,
Speaker 7: looked at the line because it was going across. Okay,
Speaker 7: I set it up across the trail there, but the
Speaker 7: line was like ten eleven feet in the air, so
Speaker 7: no one's gonna walk into it. But this guy had
Speaker 7: like a sixteen foot fishing pool. He stops, look at
Speaker 7: the line, runs it down. I watched him with my eyes,
Speaker 7: runs it to me, and he goes huh and just
Speaker 7: starts on a walk with his fishing pull all the
Speaker 7: way in the air and just pulls everything down. I
Speaker 7: transmitted real fast, hoping the line was on them.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would have walked over to his fishing spot
Speaker 1: and just turn up some loud music. So you never know.
Speaker 1: But yeah, all right, So both of you are doing
Speaker 1: giveaways when you hit ten k, so maybe we'll do
Speaker 1: a giveaway on the channel tonight. No, they're going to
Speaker 1: do this on their own channel. We're gonna do this
Speaker 1: on their own channel tonight. So so yeah, tell us
Speaker 1: what you guys are going to give away when you
Speaker 1: get to ten thousand.
Speaker 6: You go first, Jason or Josh.
Speaker 4: I wish I was Jason.
Speaker 1: It's a j where it's a j name, they're all
Speaker 1: the same, well.
Speaker 4: Jdayson other Josh, and then me. So there you go.
Speaker 4: All right, so you got a shout out to Gigaparts.
Speaker 4: They're helping out with with my giveaway. Uh, the not
Speaker 4: the Thursday after I hit ten thousand. That could be
Speaker 4: this coming Thursday. That could be next Thursday, it could
Speaker 4: be next year, who knows. But when I do hit
Speaker 4: the ten thousand, the very next Thursday, I am giving
Speaker 4: away a brand new Icon seventy three hundred. Before you
Speaker 4: all crap your pants and everything like that, it is
Speaker 4: not the mark too, it is not the Mark too,
Speaker 4: but it will be a brand new I see seventy
Speaker 4: three hundred. Giga Parts has given me a really good
Speaker 4: deal on that. In order to do that, I cannot
Speaker 4: wait to give that what radio away and all you
Speaker 4: have to do to be entered is be a subscriber
Speaker 4: and be present on the live stream when I give
Speaker 4: it away, as simple as that. So really excited about
Speaker 4: that one. Then it'll be one of those keyword things
Speaker 4: and I have to enter button.
Speaker 3: In any years.
Speaker 7: Subscriber not a channel member.
Speaker 4: Right, subscriber not a channel member. No purchase necessary, void
Speaker 4: work being prohibited.
Speaker 7: I just wanted to clear it up because I know
Speaker 7: there was going to be someone in the chat saying, ah,
Speaker 7: that that means you got to pay to play.
Speaker 1: No, no, no, so get it. You know. I don't remember.
Speaker 1: I think I was talking to my wife about this.
Speaker 1: This was a long time ago. She's like, well, if
Speaker 1: you ever like won the lotter, I was talked to
Speaker 1: her about the lottery. I never played. I never played
Speaker 1: the lottery. Every now and then I'll get it up
Speaker 1: to like a billion dollars and I'll go buy a ticket.
Speaker 1: But other than that, I never played, because.
Speaker 7: I mean.
Speaker 1: Every now and then, right four hundred who needs four
Speaker 1: hundred million dollars? But a billion dollars I could actually
Speaker 1: use sure, so you know. But yeah, but she said
Speaker 1: something to me. She goes, well, would you quit YouTube?
Speaker 1: And I'm like, no, no, I would go buy a
Speaker 1: brand new three thousand dollars radio. I'd do it every
Speaker 1: week for a while, but i'd probably level off it
Speaker 1: once a month.
Speaker 6: Maybe a new camera.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, no, I'm talking about I'd go buy a
Speaker 1: brand new three thousand dollar thirty five hundred dollar radio
Speaker 1: every month and.
Speaker 3: Give it away.
Speaker 1: Oh, give it away? Yeah, no, yeah, I would do
Speaker 1: a seventy seven sixty a new l Craft K four. Uh,
Speaker 1: what's the the T s A ninety from Kenwood, the
Speaker 1: F T one O one D, maybe the maybe the
Speaker 1: MP one month. Yeah, so I would buy a brand
Speaker 1: new three to four thousand dollars radio every month and
Speaker 1: give it away on the channel. And I would I
Speaker 1: would love to do that every month. But you know, uh,
Speaker 1: it's uh yes, it's one of those one of those
Speaker 1: pipe dreams. Maybe someday, maybe someday, maybe I could happen.
Speaker 1: I never know.
Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe I.
Speaker 1: Can invent some sort of you know, wireless transmitter that
Speaker 1: will connect your antenna outside through a wireless wireless feed right,
Speaker 1: wireless feed line. Yeah, something like that. So that's an
Speaker 1: April Fool's joke every year. But yeah, so it yeah,
Speaker 1: I would. I would love to do that. I would
Speaker 1: absolutely love to do that every month, but you know,
Speaker 1: not in the budget, but maybe someday. You never know.
Speaker 1: So Freddie, what are you giving away?
Speaker 3: Well, I'll tell you what.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 3: Ever, since i got into All Star Link, of course,
Speaker 3: I've always been a tinkerer.
Speaker 6: I've always been a builder of some kind.
Speaker 3: You know. I was that little kid that toy's toys apart.
Speaker 3: They may or may not have always went to back together.
Speaker 6: You know.
Speaker 3: I can still remember my mom's first words coming out.
Speaker 3: But since then, this is the mark one.
Speaker 1: This is what.
Speaker 3: I'm calling Crusader Calm Link all Star Link Node.
Speaker 2: It's a.
Speaker 3: Motorilla CDM seven to fifty mobile radio.
Speaker 1: Yep.
Speaker 3: Raspberry Pie four got a twelve votes, five vote five
Speaker 3: amp but converter. Okay, the Pie got the hot spot
Speaker 3: radios URI. Let's see a R A R no aar A.
Speaker 6: I keep saying this wrong.
Speaker 3: A r I USB five soundfop has adjustable audio pod
Speaker 3: on it, and it has a built in signal stick
Speaker 3: and tenon and one power pole connector to rule them
Speaker 3: all power the whole thing. So it's a single single
Speaker 3: point of power, single point of power twelve US in.
Speaker 3: It's you can got a thermostat controlled fan for the back,
Speaker 3: so it does about ten watts. If you want just
Speaker 3: that up for you go max of forty.
Speaker 6: It'll just heat up.
Speaker 3: Faster if you run it at forty watts, and you
Speaker 3: might want to put a bigger anten on it because
Speaker 3: I think these signal sticks are probably only rated for
Speaker 3: about ten No ops, are they rated or five?
Speaker 1: No, there's a there's several people I know, including Digital
Speaker 1: Rancher in the chat and let me I'm going to
Speaker 1: brag on Rob here for a minute. Signal stick will
Speaker 1: do sixty seventy watts.
Speaker 3: Oh sweet, see, I haven't stick that far.
Speaker 1: So a c K runs He back when he was
Speaker 1: driving his jeep before he got his F two fifty
Speaker 1: he's got now, he had he ran a signal stick
Speaker 1: on top of his truck and I think he was
Speaker 1: running an FtM four hundred full power. Fifty watts no problem? Okay, no,
Speaker 1: so yeah, yeah, so they'll handle full full mobile power,
Speaker 1: no problem. They'll handle up to sixty or seventy ons.
Speaker 1: Rob was we were at Beltonham Expo in Texas, not
Speaker 1: this year but last year. And this is the year
Speaker 1: that we went to the mesh Con thing at the
Speaker 1: Spec five Oh yeah. Yeah, And as we were driving
Speaker 1: to mesh Con, Rob's driving in front of me. I'm
Speaker 1: falling behind him, and we're talking on six top five
Speaker 1: to two a little bit kind of here and there
Speaker 1: and and a couple of times. I think it happened
Speaker 1: twice and at least once there and once back, if
Speaker 1: not twice there, but anyway, so he'll he kind of
Speaker 1: went silent for I don't know, five minutes or so,
Speaker 1: and he got on there and he's like, Okay, he's
Speaker 1: driving down the road with a signal stick intent on
Speaker 1: top of his truck and I think he's got a
Speaker 1: twenty seven to thirty in his truck just like his
Speaker 1: chest breas. Yea, yeah, and he made a satellite contact
Speaker 1: from his freaking car with a signal stick antenna while
Speaker 1: he was driving. He's like, oh, yeah, I just contacted
Speaker 1: aoff whatever the hell it was. I don't remember which
Speaker 1: one it was. And I'm like, of course you did,
Speaker 1: Like they have you, like Rob, the satellite has you
Speaker 1: on him alert. Okay, they know when you're alive and
Speaker 1: they kind of point to you, I think, but no, Yeah,
Speaker 1: signal stick will absolutely handle hundred not one hundred wats
Speaker 1: full power. Mobile radio. Yeah, you can totally do that.
Speaker 3: So those of you and his chat that are asking,
Speaker 3: it's the B and C dull band mode model of
Speaker 3: signal stick, and it totally takes it. It doesn't. It
Speaker 3: doesn't have any issues with the ten or so watts
Speaker 3: that I'm putting through it.
Speaker 1: No, no, tim watts is easy for signals.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, And I'll adjust the radio up. If you
Speaker 3: win the radio and you want it at forty watts
Speaker 3: at full power, I'll put it at full power. I'll
Speaker 3: even throw in full customization of the all Star link
Speaker 3: node if you want to give me your your node
Speaker 3: number and node password or whatever.
Speaker 6: I'll customize the Supermond for you.
Speaker 3: I'll install skywarn plus, I'll scan all the bells and whistles,
Speaker 3: you know, just say I got one out there. So
Speaker 3: and the reason the reason I'm using the signal a stick,
Speaker 3: of course, number one is quality because the first time
Speaker 3: I built one of these, I put the bo fane
Speaker 3: and tent on the top and I didn't realize it
Speaker 3: because it was a screw on type, it wouldn't be
Speaker 3: n C yet, didn't have it tightened down completely all
Speaker 3: the way. And I'm keying up the radio and I
Speaker 3: tuned it into a net and.
Speaker 6: It slowly went and poured off a.
Speaker 3: Melted it at the base.
Speaker 1: Oh, you should have recorded a short on that. That
Speaker 1: was awesome short video. I was trying to do it again,
Speaker 1: do it again, get another.
Speaker 3: It again, but man, I was like, oh my god,
Speaker 3: I'm gonna I'm gonna set the house on fire because
Speaker 3: I was in the house filming or are setting these up,
Speaker 3: trying to get them ready and testing them because I
Speaker 3: didn't want to. It was too cold, too hot to
Speaker 3: be up.
Speaker 6: In the shack at the time where I was. So
Speaker 6: now I've got climate control and it's completely awesome.
Speaker 1: But yeah, signal sticks turn out to great, great antenna,
Speaker 1: great intenna. I've got, I've got, I've got a bunch
Speaker 1: of them. So in fact, he usually runs a Black
Speaker 1: Friday special, and I never heard from him this year,
Speaker 1: so I'm not aware that he ran a Black Friday special.
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe he'll do something for Christmas. I don't know.
Speaker 1: He doesn't he doesn't run sales, but like once a year,
Speaker 1: and I thought it was on Black Friday, but maybe
Speaker 1: it's at Christmas. Maybe I'll get a note from him
Speaker 1: later this month. I don't remember usually hit me up
Speaker 1: in Discord and say hey, all right, here it is
Speaker 1: and I'm like okay, and then uh and then that
Speaker 1: you know, people buy the hell out of them because
Speaker 1: that's the one sale of the year. But he sells
Speaker 1: the heck out of those things that I think last
Speaker 1: year or this year twenty twenty five, I think that
Speaker 1: was his first time in Orlando, and because people broken up,
Speaker 1: it's like, why don't you go to Orlando? Why don't
Speaker 1: you go to Orlando. He's like, well, I guess I
Speaker 1: gotta go because everybody's asking me. So yeah, they're great
Speaker 1: intendas for sure.
Speaker 6: And every ham Fast you go to, every ht out.
Speaker 1: There as a Sai, yeah, yeah, just about they'd just
Speaker 1: about yeah, they work really well. Well good, So do
Speaker 1: you do you build and sell those, Freddy or what?
Speaker 1: What do you?
Speaker 3: Well? And that I mean that's actually coming. Mark one
Speaker 3: is a style. I'm going to be making a new one.
Speaker 3: I don't know if you've seen the the little videos
Speaker 3: that I put out on the GMRS reputer that I built.
Speaker 3: They're on a separate stand to Raka and I'm the
Speaker 3: Mark two that I'm fixing it come out with will
Speaker 3: be on my shop by the Way, which just got
Speaker 3: launched Cape Radiolife dot Shop Okay, now only has the
Speaker 3: what we're calling the Toad's shell, the three D printed
Speaker 3: case for the Toad's digital interface with the Toad's D
Speaker 3: six daughterboard, and the first ones that I have on
Speaker 3: the black ones have already all sold out, and they
Speaker 3: have a screw type interface on them, and I think
Speaker 3: all the rest of them for now on.
Speaker 6: Are going to be the magnetic face.
Speaker 3: Okay, if you got tous you've got to pull that
Speaker 3: circuit board out and adjust your pots on there for
Speaker 3: your audio if you're going to do a lot of
Speaker 3: in and out. I'm worried about the screws were wearing out.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's just I mean, people like me carry
Speaker 1: screwdriver with them, but most people don't exactly, and a
Speaker 1: lot easier. The magnet magnetized front to be a lot easier.
Speaker 3: And they're strong enough to hold it into place. Yeah,
Speaker 3: big good deal. So I think the rest of them
Speaker 3: are going to be magnetic magnetic fronts, and I'm gonna
Speaker 3: have some more of those relisted here before too long.
Speaker 3: But I sold out of the black ones today. I
Speaker 3: printed some blues just for something different and a few.
Speaker 3: One of those have sold, so I have four of
Speaker 3: those left, so I'll probably I've got some other colors
Speaker 3: I'm coming up with. But for an extra five bucks,
Speaker 3: we'll put your call sign on the front.
Speaker 1: So nice. You know, it's show that one that you
Speaker 1: uh you made for me because it's uh, let me
Speaker 1: get back to this. Oh gosh, if I could get
Speaker 1: my screen here, here we go, all right, hold it
Speaker 1: up for a second. I got to pin you to
Speaker 1: the to the thing here. Okay, so we're gonna yeah,
Speaker 1: there it is right there. So he's gonna send me this.
Speaker 1: He printed this for me. I didn't ask him to
Speaker 1: print my call sign on it. I asked him to
Speaker 1: print one for me, but not my call sign on it.
Speaker 1: And then once I get that, I'm gonna bring t
Speaker 1: O in the stream. That's gonna be one of our
Speaker 1: future live streams. We're gonna talk about interface board going
Speaker 1: in that thing right there. So this thing is get
Speaker 1: get a bunch of them put on the store, Freddy,
Speaker 1: because when we go when T and I go T
Speaker 1: and O T, but when T O and I go
Speaker 1: live with those things, we will point to the hey,
Speaker 1: where do you get that case? Point to the shop.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I'm gonna have to be ready about.
Speaker 7: My printer now.
Speaker 3: I got a bamboo P two S with the a
Speaker 3: M S Pro two deist and yeah, I'm printing up
Speaker 3: some new ones now. So things are starting to roll.
Speaker 3: And this is, you know, this is kind of the
Speaker 3: reason why I got into it, other than all Star link.
Speaker 3: I love to build things. I'm going to be putting
Speaker 3: some interface cables on there for the toads d I,
Speaker 3: some interface cables for other you know, hotspot radios technically George,
Speaker 3: the other fobs that are on the market to certain
Speaker 3: radios because a lot of people are like, hey, where'd
Speaker 3: you get that? I don't I'm not good at building
Speaker 3: things and stuff like that, and.
Speaker 6: I'm totally I'm well, that's people to come in right now.
Speaker 7: So that's not on your store currently, right because everyone's as.
Speaker 1: Boxes are the boxes boxes are? I just showed it.
Speaker 7: I just showed Oh I can't find it on your
Speaker 7: store front.
Speaker 1: I share a link in the chat. I'll put it
Speaker 1: in there.
Speaker 6: Right now, Life Dot Shop.
Speaker 1: Right this is in this website right here that I'm
Speaker 1: showing on the screen right now.
Speaker 6: The black ones should be sold out by now, but there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it says it says a black one shoulders and I'm.
Speaker 3: Printing more as they come out because and they're all
Speaker 3: going to be magnetic instead of the screw type. So
Speaker 3: the screw type's good, but like I said, if you've
Speaker 3: got to do a lot of adjustin, it could be
Speaker 3: problematic as time goes by. So we're going to go
Speaker 3: with the magnets from now on, I think. So.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think the magnet is a great idea. I mean,
Speaker 1: that's a much better idea.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, And it was a little troublesome at first,
Speaker 3: but we found a method to put them together ten
Speaker 3: times faster, faster than I originally tracked. Oh good, Yeah,
Speaker 3: how I can be I miss a lot of turns
Speaker 3: when I'm driving sometimes I can see what's in front
Speaker 3: of me.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, it's all good.
Speaker 1: So Ambassador Earl says, how do I enter the wins?
Speaker 1: So for each of these guys, once they hit ten k,
Speaker 1: we're not giving way anything tonight. Once they hit ten k,
Speaker 1: you will have to well. In fact, that's that's another
Speaker 1: question I was going to Freddy, do you have an
Speaker 1: email list?
Speaker 3: I don't yet, but uh, the one that you're using
Speaker 3: the service that I can't remember the name of I
Speaker 3: recently signed up for just okay kind of feel it out,
Speaker 3: but I haven't started an email list yet, but.
Speaker 6: That's on the horizon.
Speaker 1: Yeah that Yeah, you need to have an email list.
Speaker 1: Josh has an email list, Josh, if you want to,
Speaker 1: put a link to your email list in the chat.
Speaker 1: So they are going to go live on their own
Speaker 1: channels and do a giveaway after they hit ten k,
Speaker 1: and however they do that, they choose to Are you
Speaker 1: going to do the the have to be there to
Speaker 1: win and random word freddy, Yeah, I gotta.
Speaker 3: I'll be using restream not not restream, stream Yard stream
Speaker 3: Yard streamyard good.
Speaker 1: Yeah. So yeah, you guys subscribe to both of these
Speaker 1: channels and then watch them and when they hit ten k,
Speaker 1: they'll they'll announce it and oh yeah.
Speaker 3: I try to every mood social media I can got
Speaker 3: access to you.
Speaker 1: So, so do we have Josh, you have a link
Speaker 1: to your.
Speaker 4: I don't have a link. I'm putting just the web
Speaker 4: address to my website handshak tv dot com in there.
Speaker 4: If you go about halfway down the page, you'll see
Speaker 4: a failed to enter your email a dress.
Speaker 6: That's as simple as it's.
Speaker 1: Just a form on the website. Okay, all right, all right,
Speaker 1: I find it's it's easy to uh if you can,
Speaker 1: if you like, like if I go here, well let
Speaker 1: me do this right here. So if I go like
Speaker 1: this Hemory radio two, oh gosh, if I can tie
Speaker 1: email dash sign up. Now you can't see this because
Speaker 1: I'm not showing the uh you are old there. I'd
Speaker 1: bring it down like that forms dot a warber dot
Speaker 1: COM's forward slash form forward slash zero two, forward slash,
Speaker 1: a bunch of numbers dot htm. So if you can
Speaker 1: find a form on your email host provider and then
Speaker 1: create like a subdomain, it's just easier just to rattle
Speaker 1: it off, just to say, when you go live, when
Speaker 1: you're on an email, when you're on Twitter, TikTok wherever,
Speaker 1: just say, oh go here and sign up for my
Speaker 1: email list and just rattle off something easy people can remember.
Speaker 6: Yeah, so that's the thing right there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, that's it's it's a lot. I mean, you
Speaker 1: can tell him, hey, go to my website, scroll halfway
Speaker 1: down and click out the okay, and maybe they'll do that,
Speaker 1: but you know something, make it easy, making its easy
Speaker 1: as plas.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that makes sense.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So yeah, gray Man potas in the chat, I
Speaker 1: have an email list. Well, good for you till sure, Tim,
Speaker 1: I was I was bragging on you earlier, buddy, because
Speaker 1: I was telling before before we went live, I was
Speaker 1: telling everyone about these right here. So I've been having
Speaker 1: some trouble with some humidity. I mean it's just been
Speaker 1: humid in Texas with all the rain we've had, and
Speaker 1: I've been having some spaghetti stuff happened on my three
Speaker 1: D prints and stuff. Most not really spaghetti as much
Speaker 1: as just the prince not sticking to the plate. And
Speaker 1: I've cleaned the plate a couple of times. It's not that.
Speaker 1: So Tim sent me this big long DM on Discord
Speaker 1: and he's like, it's probably humidity. Get these these things fit.
Speaker 1: You print these obviously, and they fit into your MS
Speaker 1: for your bamboo printer, and then you put those silica
Speaker 1: packs inside of them. And one of them even has
Speaker 1: like a like I don't know where you get that hygrometer,
Speaker 1: but you can easily get a high frank And I
Speaker 1: know a place to get hygrometers because if you if
Speaker 1: you smoke cigars, you know what am But Tim sent
Speaker 1: me a link to this is the AMS dry kit
Speaker 1: full hygrometer reading area, and you print these. You put
Speaker 1: the silica packs in it and these fit in the front
Speaker 1: of your AMS to pull the moisture out of your
Speaker 1: MS while your spools of filament are in there and
Speaker 1: exposed and whatnot.
Speaker 2: So that's cool.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So I'll put a link to the maker World chat.
Speaker 1: So that came from graymn Poto. Thanks for that. Tim
Speaker 1: Carlos is in the chat saying a lot of kinds
Speaker 1: of e That is the de mid A fire bit
Speaker 1: I printed form my p one s Okay, good to know,
Speaker 1: Good to know.
Speaker 3: I'll tell you what I'm learning all kinds of stuff
Speaker 3: about this three D printer. For those of you that
Speaker 3: don't know, I just I got my very first three
Speaker 3: D printer the other day and it got an a
Speaker 3: MS and and I've taken baby steps at first to
Speaker 3: print out small things and yeah, and when I moved
Speaker 3: it to put the a MS on.
Speaker 7: M H.
Speaker 3: I don't know how what you guys call this, but
Speaker 3: you know, every time it changes film in or gets
Speaker 3: ready to print, it spits some up it out and
Speaker 3: pops it out the back.
Speaker 1: It's it's called a poop shoot. That's exactly what it's called. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I kept seeing name. Yeah, yeah, that's what they that's
Speaker 1: that's what the three D printing guys call it.
Speaker 6: Yeah wow, I thought they was yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I don't know if I'm just saying that
Speaker 3: wrong or not.
Speaker 1: No, no, no, that's what they call it. So yeah,
Speaker 1: that's when you clean it cleans the nozzle out and
Speaker 1: it just kind of expels film. It kind of like
Speaker 1: purges it like bleeding breaks on a car.
Speaker 3: Pretty yeah. I kept thinking, you know what, I'm gonna
Speaker 3: have to empty that little thing and im being into
Speaker 3: because I didn't know where it was going for sure.
Speaker 3: And so when I turned the whole machine to put
Speaker 3: the A M S on this huge file.
Speaker 1: D yeah yeah, I've got mine set out from the
Speaker 1: wall about about ya far and I didn't put anything
Speaker 1: back there, and it's just piling up back there on
Speaker 1: the desk. I'll clean it up eventually, I don't care.
Speaker 1: It's not hurting anything.
Speaker 3: So maybe a container was holding it, but no, apparently
Speaker 3: I know one of them.
Speaker 1: I mean, you you can print a container that it
Speaker 1: could fall into, then you just dump it. I there
Speaker 1: was there was a girl at the last ham sigh
Speaker 1: I went to and she she's big into three D printing,
Speaker 1: and we just kind of happened to strip stripe conversation,
Speaker 1: and she said that she would take that. There's a
Speaker 1: name for it. It's not PLA or pet G, but
Speaker 1: there's a name for it. It's like it's like luminescent.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, you're yeah.
Speaker 1: And she would make lamps from this luminescent luminescent filament
Speaker 1: and put a light in the bottom of it and
Speaker 1: then filled the light with the poop from the poop
Speaker 1: shoot and it's all kinds of different colors and whatnot.
Speaker 1: I'm like, that's a freaking see. Showed me the greatest
Speaker 1: pictures of it. I was like, that's a great idea.
Speaker 1: It's a really kind of like you know, Austin Powers
Speaker 1: looking almost with all the psychedelic colors. But it was, yeah,
Speaker 1: you could you could do kind of you know, cool
Speaker 1: stuff with that.
Speaker 3: And I'm coming up with all kinds of ideas that
Speaker 3: little things, yeah make. But I haven't learned the maker
Speaker 3: side of the software yet, so I'm getting there, but
Speaker 3: you know, and then the possibilities are endless with this thing.
Speaker 3: I'm just excited.
Speaker 1: No, I don't blame you.
Speaker 7: I this is one thing I'm just gonna let y'all
Speaker 7: have fun with, and I'm just gonna have amazing friends
Speaker 7: with three D printers for me.
Speaker 1: Well, you know what I did that. I did that
Speaker 1: like that for a while, and I was like, you know,
Speaker 1: I kind of want to try it myself, and I
Speaker 1: just never wanted to fool with like the the creality
Speaker 1: and uh and the ender and those ones where you
Speaker 1: just you had to adjust the bed and you had
Speaker 1: to do this and had to make all these really
Speaker 1: minor adjustments to it. The bamboo, man, it is it
Speaker 1: is almost plug and play. I mean, it's just it's
Speaker 1: makes it really easy.
Speaker 6: It's lower maintenance from what I can tell.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, and m works good.
Speaker 6: Until I understand it all.
Speaker 3: You know. I don't get me wrong, I'd like to
Speaker 3: know everything there is to know about it. But you know,
Speaker 3: at first, I wanted to do a lot of the
Speaker 3: work for me.
Speaker 1: Right exactly. Yeah, Well, you know, I mean I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't want to, you know, I don't want to
Speaker 1: spend time.
Speaker 7: Carlos, Carlos, I want a big and little spoon, go
Speaker 7: for it.
Speaker 1: Mm hmmm. Probably would he probably send you one to.
Speaker 7: I know, I want to see what he does. I
Speaker 7: know he's going to put a twist on it, and
Speaker 7: I can't wait to see it.
Speaker 3: Well, it's just I don't know, don't I just dependent
Speaker 3: on other people to print for me. And I don't
Speaker 3: get me wrong, It's okay, but I just hate inconvenience
Speaker 3: that folks.
Speaker 7: I want to learn, right, that's that's okay, it's fine.
Speaker 1: Don't relate bamboo to apple. That's an insult to bamboo.
Speaker 4: I was actually looking at that, and I'm like, yeah,
Speaker 4: I think he's I think he meant to say dj
Speaker 4: I as well.
Speaker 1: I think he said he means dj I, yeah, which
Speaker 1: he's correct about that.
Speaker 4: Of course he's correct about both of them.
Speaker 3: Yea, what's all this talk I hear about dj I
Speaker 3: getting banned in America for certain things?
Speaker 1: I heard that too, I don't know. Yeah, a lot
Speaker 1: of those drones in the king Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4: A lot of that's driven by by the drone stuff,
Speaker 4: but it's also because they're manufactured in China and a
Speaker 4: lot of right. But apparently, from what I understand, there's
Speaker 4: been some talk about some of the Chinese government's got
Speaker 4: some sort of information from the Dji drones something like that.
Speaker 7: I am less worried about the drones more worried about
Speaker 7: the routers they put out.
Speaker 6: So oh yeah, right there.
Speaker 7: Yeah, see, Freddy's right on the ball. And you know
Speaker 7: what the best router solution is. They have a Chinese
Speaker 7: made router and a Russian router, and then you're perfect.
Speaker 6: Let them fight it out.
Speaker 7: Well, they won't fight it out. The the Chinese router
Speaker 7: that leaks through get blocked by the Russian and the
Speaker 7: Russian router can't get through the Chinese router.
Speaker 6: It's the perfect firewall.
Speaker 3: Good.
Speaker 1: That's a good idea. Yeah, yeah, it's yeah, I did.
Speaker 1: I did a video a while back about some FCC
Speaker 1: bannings some like Huawei and different kinds of webcams because
Speaker 1: they were supposedly sending webcam like video information back to China.
Speaker 6: But yeah, I've heard some really really concerning.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the microphone and the cameras, like the Pocket three.
Speaker 1: I got a new Pocket three a few months ago. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the action those cameras and they don't connect to the Internet,
Speaker 1: so they're not sending data as well.
Speaker 3: Deal.
Speaker 1: But uh yeah, those those are great cameras. I really
Speaker 1: like the Dji stuff.
Speaker 7: Carlos, I got stories for you that running the Chinese
Speaker 7: router with the w t r T W or open
Speaker 7: w r T, they still send out stuff because it's
Speaker 7: super low level mhm, so you can't get it right.
Speaker 1: I mean, if you're if you're if you're on the Internet.
Speaker 1: That's why this big off grid pushes come, which I don't,
Speaker 1: which I'm in favor of. I'm totally in favor of that.
Speaker 1: And you know, I was changing emails with Gastone the
Speaker 1: other day and he was talking about some stuff. I'm like,
Speaker 1: you know, that's I mean, that's that's a good point.
Speaker 1: But uh and doing stuff off grid and being disconnected
Speaker 1: and turn uh turn off four G, turn off Wi Fi,
Speaker 1: put your phone into airplane mode. Meshtastic the world, yeah,
Speaker 1: mestastic and radio yeah yeah, out in the field.
Speaker 7: And I've really been impressed with Metastic other than when
Speaker 7: you get in Better No Destiny.
Speaker 3: We poured a lot into our mestastic infrastructure in my
Speaker 3: particular county and we're able now finally we have a
Speaker 3: little more to add, but we're able now to participate
Speaker 3: in a Meshtastic net.
Speaker 6: Weekly that's up in Tulsa.
Speaker 1: Really cool.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and I'm like, dang, we're forty.
Speaker 3: Five miles away and we're chaining it enough to get
Speaker 3: back and forth into that deal. So it's looking up.
Speaker 3: And we we've met with some some local and some
Speaker 3: local non Hams who like Meshtastic so that we don't
Speaker 3: overlay and double up on areas in beverage. And we're
Speaker 3: totally killing it right now, and we're on our way
Speaker 3: to make it even better locally. Even our emergency management
Speaker 3: office is getting involved.
Speaker 7: You know what project I want to see come back,
Speaker 7: and it's like Mestastic want We're totally doing because Arted
Speaker 7: is mestastic on steroids. Man Arten passes data, it has
Speaker 7: Internet connections, It has a bunch of cool things you
Speaker 7: can do with webcams and other things to help monitor areas.
Speaker 7: I think as as a group, as a HAM radio group,
Speaker 7: we lost interest. But I'm hoping Mestastic spurs a bit
Speaker 7: because I really want Arden to come back, because that's.
Speaker 3: The Oklahoma's DMR repeaters are connected through our Arden network.
Speaker 7: Hurst Hurst has an Arden link and they're adding we
Speaker 7: all start link nodes to our Arden network.
Speaker 3: We're totally doing that right now. We're just now getting
Speaker 3: that into that but we're, you know, we're trying to
Speaker 3: figure out the firewall side of it. They're they're starting
Speaker 3: to make it work. I have the area the nine
Speaker 3: to one eight area code PBX for Arden in my
Speaker 3: shop right now for our Arden Mesh phone network.
Speaker 1: Nice.
Speaker 3: We've covered three different area codes here and we're linking
Speaker 3: out of state. One of the first trunks that I
Speaker 3: I did was the Tate and Ohio.
Speaker 6: I'm like, that's cool.
Speaker 3: Oh wow, yeah, for sure, Oklahoma's really trying to come
Speaker 3: up with that, and we encourage everybody else to least
Speaker 3: look into it, because Frank's right, Arden's where it's at.
Speaker 7: Mess taxes is nice, but it's low data only text message.
Speaker 7: But you know what what is text message? It's data
Speaker 7: wrapped up in some other type of data. So you
Speaker 7: can pass data on it. But it's super slow and
Speaker 7: you could do some other cool things. But this is
Speaker 7: for the layman to getting out in the field and
Speaker 7: just sending messages. I want to set up something like
Speaker 7: my house is down, I lost I lost all power,
Speaker 7: I lost internet, but my art and note up there.
Speaker 7: I could still access the weather and see what information is.
Speaker 7: So how is this going to help in that scenario.
Speaker 7: It's not this is going to help me say, hey,
Speaker 7: I'm still here locally, but but I'm not gonna be
Speaker 7: doing much other than that.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, and we've we've done some stuff with meshtastic
Speaker 1: over m QTT and it it bogs it down real fast.
Speaker 7: It doesn't we m QTT re acquires a network. So
Speaker 7: if I lose Internet at the house, yeah I got
Speaker 7: to hit another note that might have m QTT. Or
Speaker 7: if I just had an art in network, my m
Speaker 7: QTT will run through the art and which will then
Speaker 7: get everywhere else.
Speaker 1: Well that's the same of them. Yeah, both of those
Speaker 1: networks get Internet the same way. Either you supply it
Speaker 1: or you connect to someone who else who supplied it.
Speaker 1: The great thing with mestastic is that it's it's inexpensive, yes,
Speaker 1: and it'll work. There's there's numerous devices for it. It's
Speaker 1: not just repurposed commercial gear like like Arden never made
Speaker 1: any of their own gear. But like but and mestastic
Speaker 1: is just is just a protocol on top of Laura,
Speaker 1: which Laura is much more Laura's. There's a lot more
Speaker 1: stuff to Laura than just meshtastic, So it's kind of metastic.
Speaker 3: I'm always evolving, yes, yeah, always evolving in there. I've
Speaker 3: already heard rumor about file sharing and maybe yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: it's transfer.
Speaker 1: I think that I think it'll be.
Speaker 7: But you still limited, but I think it'll be low.
Speaker 1: I think it'll be just a matter of time. Well
Speaker 1: it's s s TV though, I think it will just
Speaker 1: be a matter of time before sending. We're sending memes
Speaker 1: over meshtastic, you know. I mean, I think that's probably
Speaker 1: gonna happen at some point. And uh yeah. The only
Speaker 1: drawback about meshtastic it is is it is only text.
Speaker 1: That's true. But it's awfully fun to go to, you know,
Speaker 1: to travel to areas just kind of see you know,
Speaker 1: who's out there and who you can tact whatnot.
Speaker 4: I mean like at Dayton or Hunts or yeah, or
Speaker 4: I'm assuming Orlando. Meshtastic is a lot of fun, except
Speaker 4: for day about driving insane during the youtubeer form and
Speaker 4: I'm not asking, but yeah, here at home, I mean,
Speaker 4: I've got a Trekker Delta up there. I've got a
Speaker 4: sower node back there on the pole. I've got a
Speaker 4: node sitting in my office at the university. No one's
Speaker 4: out there. It's it's it's crickets around here, and that
Speaker 4: that's one of the key things about these mash networks
Speaker 4: is you've got to have more stations involved.
Speaker 7: Well, the nine hundred and the low low microwatts that
Speaker 7: it's transmitting means that you're going to need a lot
Speaker 7: of them. Yeah, absolutely, Arden, we can bump it up
Speaker 7: to like three watts maybe on those.
Speaker 1: Commer Yeah, but a lot of lot of Arden stuff
Speaker 1: is either is on two point four giga hurts, which
Speaker 1: is even a more narrow bandwidth now you can do
Speaker 1: or even more narrow.
Speaker 7: One, did they take away nine hundred or.
Speaker 1: They take away three gigaherts three gigaherts? That was take
Speaker 1: away three gigaherts that hurts. Most of most of your
Speaker 1: Arden stuff is on two point four and some a
Speaker 1: lot of it's on five point eight gigaherts. And there
Speaker 1: are there are Arden uh, there's Arden firmware that will
Speaker 1: work on like a nine hundred megahertz ubiquity note or
Speaker 1: teepee link note or something like that. There's not very
Speaker 1: very many nine hundred megahertz ones out there. Nine intermega
Speaker 1: hurts is like the perfect band to do all this crap.
Speaker 7: One.
Speaker 1: Well, I'm sorry, but I mean, it's just it's awesome.
Speaker 1: I mean, it cuts through buildings, it's got a long
Speaker 1: range if you've got a clear line of sight. You know,
Speaker 1: it's just a really really good band to have that on.
Speaker 1: But you know, it's it's you know, like you were saying,
Speaker 1: it's it's kind of one of those things where it's.
Speaker 7: How far are you away from the cigar bar?
Speaker 3: Jason?
Speaker 7: Like a mile? About a mile, about a mile. So
Speaker 7: when I'm at the bar, I usually sit down and
Speaker 7: send a message out take radio at the bar, and
Speaker 7: hardly ever anyone receives that message.
Speaker 1: Does it get does it get acknowledged?
Speaker 7: No, That's how I know. No one receives it.
Speaker 1: Tame here, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 7: This is just and then there's no check. It just
Speaker 7: goes back.
Speaker 1: What you need to do. And this is what this
Speaker 1: is something I've been I've been kind of tinking around.
Speaker 1: I've been knocked around my head. What you need to
Speaker 1: do is go somewhere and set up a load no no.
Speaker 1: Set up a no no when you park your when
Speaker 1: you park your car in the parking lot for instance. Okay,
Speaker 1: get a PoTA twenty or a PoTA thirty three mast
Speaker 1: and put a node on top of it and push
Speaker 1: it all the way up in the parking lot, and
Speaker 1: then your little pocket node that you take with you
Speaker 1: into the store will bounce off of that node, and
Speaker 1: that node is higher up in the air and it's
Speaker 1: going to see more.
Speaker 3: Oh.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So I've I've been kind of knocking around an
Speaker 1: idea about that in my head is like, okay, well,
Speaker 1: if I'm going to go park my truck somewhere, say
Speaker 1: at more Expo, I'm going to put a mesh node
Speaker 1: on a push up pole that stays in the truck,
Speaker 1: and this is twenty thirty feet in the air. And
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, Oh, then you put your
Speaker 1: pocket node in client mute and you put your your
Speaker 1: high up node and client mode and then you're starting
Speaker 1: to see stuff.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so be reaching out and touch it.
Speaker 7: Yeah. So you turn off the truck and you have
Speaker 7: a motor that pushes up the poll automatically.
Speaker 1: Sure, yeah, you can do that. Does only in it
Speaker 1: only in a truck though, Frank, that wouldn't work.
Speaker 3: In so far?
Speaker 2: Does it?
Speaker 7: Spec five have like a you know, a little micro
Speaker 7: node that has a little solar cell.
Speaker 1: It's about the micro noode. No, the solar cell is about.
Speaker 7: No, no, no, isn't there like a small micro on that? Oh?
Speaker 3: Yes there is?
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, that's meant to be in the back window,
Speaker 7: not on top of the car I had.
Speaker 1: I had one of those running in the truck for
Speaker 1: a what it'scott It uses a rack wireless board and
Speaker 1: my board died on me. But I was running that
Speaker 1: in the UH. I put it in the front window
Speaker 1: of the truck and it would run for weeks.
Speaker 7: See. I thought about trying to take one of those
Speaker 7: is setting at the top of the display and to
Speaker 7: see if the if the the ambient light in the
Speaker 7: shop will charge it. I just leave it there. I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't know if that would work or not. But
Speaker 1: you know, still good, good thing.
Speaker 3: But the guys up in Tulsa, who canna they do
Speaker 3: like Jason Haham for you see K Diddy, they're hooking
Speaker 3: a note up to a drone and throwing it up
Speaker 3: in the air.
Speaker 6: However, yeah, yeah, it's really.
Speaker 1: Increasing Oh no, nice nice, yeah, Okay.
Speaker 7: One of the drone latest drone launches had a repeater
Speaker 7: note that went up with it.
Speaker 4: Well, Spec five, they've got an actual device that's built
Speaker 4: for drones.
Speaker 1: Now, right, yeah, yeah, yeah, they have a drone device.
Speaker 1: You strap it to a drone and like a like
Speaker 1: a Mavic or a Mini or one of those and
Speaker 1: just throw it up in the air. And yeah.
Speaker 7: So Roberts says, they got my message the other day.
Speaker 1: Mestastic Dave is like, okay, okay, I was on the phone,
Speaker 1: did someone says, oh, but yeah, so that's awesome. That's
Speaker 1: always good. All right, I need to shut this down
Speaker 1: because I was going to go for an hour tonight
Speaker 1: and I gotta I gotta go meet my dad here
Speaker 1: in a little bit, so.
Speaker 3: Way more important.
Speaker 1: Absolutely, that's all right, but yeah, guys, please do and
Speaker 1: there's more people watching now there was the beginning. So
Speaker 1: the purpose of tonight, we're just we're just rag chewing.
Speaker 1: It's called it live a rag chew live stream. These
Speaker 1: are some of the most popular. When I will when
Speaker 1: I go, I rip the audio out of every video
Speaker 1: I put on YouTube and upload it to a podcasting service,
Speaker 1: and these rag chew live streams, like the Happy Hour
Speaker 1: or the YouTuber's Bunch. When I do those, those get
Speaker 1: the most downloads and watch and listen time of the
Speaker 1: audio podcasts that anything. So thank you for those of
Speaker 1: you if you're listening via audio podcast right now, thank
Speaker 1: you for downloading and listening to that as well. So, yeah,
Speaker 1: we're trying to get these two channels to ten thousand subs.
Speaker 1: Looks like Josh is around ninety eight sixty three and
Speaker 1: Freddie Max around ninety five sixty nine. So it looks
Speaker 1: like would you go up like maybe seventy five Freddy?
Speaker 1: And maybe I was.
Speaker 3: Five hundred even when we started, So I'm up seventy.
Speaker 1: Okay, you're up seventy then yep, where were you at, Josh?
Speaker 4: I think I'm up a hundred?
Speaker 1: Up be hundred? Yeah, I was thinking you were below
Speaker 1: ninety eight hundred, yeah, but I couldn't remember how many
Speaker 1: blow though, So Okay.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we're we're we're we're getting there. So surely one
Speaker 4: thirty nine away as of now.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Good.
Speaker 3: And it's because of all the viewers out there and
Speaker 3: we and all the other YouTubers. I'm telling you what,
Speaker 3: when I got into this being a YouTube creator, I
Speaker 3: was really worried about the reception because I wanted to
Speaker 3: go to the shows and you know, get some exposure,
Speaker 3: and you guys have been nothing but open arms. And
Speaker 3: here's how you, here's how you can make things better
Speaker 3: and criticism, which was good. I need that.
Speaker 1: It was all sure, yeah, all good.
Speaker 3: And I and it was just like and then I
Speaker 3: met Mike Kate MRD and I'm like, oh my gosh,
Speaker 3: Mike's and he's very very present in this in the situation,
Speaker 3: and Mike's the greatest guy.
Speaker 1: I got to give him a hard time, you know
Speaker 1: when he's in the room.
Speaker 4: Oh yes, I got to give him a hard time.
Speaker 4: Last couple of times he's been on my live stream,
Speaker 4: he gives me a hard time because of my Southern accent.
Speaker 1: Mike, Oh yeah, yeah, oh yeah.
Speaker 3: My favorite phrase is Oklahoma the home of Freddie Mack
Speaker 3: And like another thing, right, no kidding, but all y'all
Speaker 3: have been great to me.
Speaker 4: Absolutely. I wouldn't be able to do Orlando hinesful Dayton
Speaker 4: without this community. And it's it's it's phenomenal.
Speaker 1: It's a great community. It is it really is so good.
Speaker 1: We'll think, uh Mike, Katie nine DSK thank you for
Speaker 1: the super chat, new to all of this, best mobile
Speaker 1: duel band for my truck. So here's how we're going
Speaker 1: to close it out there, you go, I'm gonna do
Speaker 1: I'm going to ask these guys all three of these,
Speaker 1: and I'll give my opinion best duel band radio. What's
Speaker 1: your favorite one? There is not a wrong answer to this, Okay,
Speaker 1: So everybody's preferences are different, and it's.
Speaker 7: Fall we will judge.
Speaker 1: So yeah, we might judge you so some sometimes sometimes yeah,
Speaker 1: So uh uh, Frank, I'm gonna start with you, Okay.
Speaker 7: Well, I'm gonna be a little biased because I bought
Speaker 7: a new toy and I'm still waiting it to be shipped.
Speaker 7: I bought the new Yazoo mobile dual band radio that
Speaker 7: has the ASP on it, and I'm pad at model numbers. See,
Speaker 7: as soon as you said that, I was going to
Speaker 7: try to pull it up. The three ten d R.
Speaker 1: The three ten Yeah, okay, so that's yeah, that's one
Speaker 1: of their newer ones. Yeah Joyce, yep. Good and that
Speaker 1: one has fusion also.
Speaker 3: Yes it does yep.
Speaker 7: So I got that coming and I can't wait to
Speaker 7: get that going. That is my answer, because well I
Speaker 7: haven't tested it yet, so but that's where I'm going.
Speaker 1: I have the FtM three hundred. It's been a great radio.
Speaker 1: I'm sure the three ten's just as good, if not better. So, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's I think that's a good choice.
Speaker 7: And I'm putting my channel in the chat take radio.
Speaker 7: If you want to give me a few subscribers, they're not.
Speaker 7: I'm gonna appreciate each and everyone.
Speaker 1: Freddy, what do you what do you think for mobile?
Speaker 3: I'll tell you what when I got. When I started
Speaker 3: as a YouTuber, I had an FtM three hundred and nine.
Speaker 3: I totally loved it. But when the FtM five hundred
Speaker 3: came out, since I had that front firing speaker, it
Speaker 3: was my go to radio. If I didn't already have it,
Speaker 3: I would have got the ft five ten, the new
Speaker 3: model that's out with the Yeah, the the better radio
Speaker 3: audio circuit in it. Don't give me totally great radio,
Speaker 3: But I love you Jay Sus because they come with
Speaker 3: a three year warranty. Yes, and my FtM five hundred
Speaker 3: will go out a warrant to come this coming June.
Speaker 3: And those of you that watched my channel, I have
Speaker 3: seen a short I put out a few months ago.
Speaker 3: Mine failed. I turned it on one day and it
Speaker 3: said no DSP found on the screen and it would
Speaker 3: do nothing else. Wow, it just blinking on the screen
Speaker 3: and it said no DSP found and I did a
Speaker 3: firm wore upgrade I did. I did a number of things,
Speaker 3: no difference, and I send it in. Of course, you
Speaker 3: fill out the paperwork, you send it in to get
Speaker 3: it fixed. And I sent my proof of purchase with it.
Speaker 3: And I get emailed back about a week and a
Speaker 3: half later and said, Okay, your radio's ready. It'll be
Speaker 3: sixty seven dollars plus shipping.
Speaker 6: And like, whohoa, whoa an Icon customer tomorrow?
Speaker 3: So I emailed her my proof of purchase again, like,
Speaker 3: oh sorry about that.
Speaker 6: Yeah, there's no charge, and they shipped it back.
Speaker 1: Ah, oh good, I got it back.
Speaker 3: Trust it really was. It totally was an oversight. Ye
Speaker 3: has an excellent warranty program and the excellent radios as
Speaker 3: far as the old band modes go. I did sell
Speaker 3: my FTX one field model radio. Don't get me wrong.
Speaker 3: I liked it. I did, but I needed a three
Speaker 3: D printer.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you gotta do what you gotta do.
Speaker 3: But that's or the new what is it? The five
Speaker 3: to ten?
Speaker 1: Five to ten?
Speaker 3: Yeah, five ten, that's just as what, just as good?
Speaker 1: Sure, all right, Josh, what do you think.
Speaker 2: I'll give?
Speaker 4: I'll give both sides of the equation on if you're
Speaker 4: looking at YACU, I enjoyed my FtM two hundred. That's
Speaker 4: a little outdated technology now, uh So, I would probably
Speaker 4: if I was going to go back to the AAC
Speaker 4: were out, I'd probably say the five hundred. I'm an
Speaker 4: icon man now, though at least as of right now,
Speaker 4: uh so, I will say the ID fifty one hundred,
Speaker 4: possibly the fifty two hundred. Let's see how that thing does.
Speaker 4: I'm really excited about that fifty two hundred right right.
Speaker 1: I have an FtM five hundred and an ID fifty
Speaker 1: one hundred in the truck right now, and neither both
Speaker 1: of those are great. I think the three ten's good.
Speaker 1: I think the five ten's good. From Yazoo. Rob Digital
Speaker 1: Rancher had mentioned the twenty seven to thirty for the money.
Speaker 1: For the money, you cannot beat the icom IC twenty
Speaker 1: seven thirty. It's dual band full dual receive, no digital modes,
Speaker 1: so if you want system fusion or d start, it
Speaker 1: does not have any of that. It does not have
Speaker 1: APRS because ICM for whatever reason, doesn't like aprs. So
Speaker 1: if you want APRS, get a ya zup and the
Speaker 1: three to ten or the five to ten is gonna
Speaker 1: be your best choice for that not. That's why I
Speaker 1: have I run a Yazu radio in my truck. Now.
Speaker 1: I like the ya Zu radio just fine. I'm not
Speaker 1: I'm indifferent as to YESU ICM Kinwood, but I have
Speaker 1: a Yazu radio because it has true full capability APRS.
Speaker 1: The menus are a little wonky, but at least it's
Speaker 1: you know, there is no menu in an icon, so
Speaker 1: they got them icon menus beat because they laugh in
Speaker 1: the icon. But the twenty seven thirty for the money,
Speaker 1: if you don't want a digital mode and you don't
Speaker 1: care about APRS, that's a fantastic radio.
Speaker 4: You know what the new King Daddy might end up being,
Speaker 4: though the kin would the kN Wood. Yeah, that thing
Speaker 4: is going to do everything.
Speaker 1: It is going to do everything. It's going to be
Speaker 1: try band. It's going to be expensive, but yes.
Speaker 3: That's the thing there. But the try band is like, man.
Speaker 1: I know, yeah, I could do with yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, APRS, the star it's all there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, roand APR s YEP and A and the kin
Speaker 1: with APRS menus are much better than the YESU menus totally. Yeah, Yeah,
Speaker 1: Carlos is like he's APRS on JESU sucks and yes,
Speaker 1: but again, if you try to go into an APRS
Speaker 1: menu and an icon, you're going to be searching for
Speaker 1: a while. Yep, So you know at least at least
Speaker 1: it actually has an APRS menu, unlike the icon. So
Speaker 1: that's my thing. So you're not gonna go wrong with
Speaker 1: any of those radios listed tonight. Fine. I tell people
Speaker 1: this when I make my best of videos, I tell
Speaker 1: everybody this, and I stand by this. Okay, buy the
Speaker 1: most expensive radio that you can afford today, and if
Speaker 1: that's one hundred and fifty dollars radio, then fine, no problem.
Speaker 1: Buy the most expensive radio that you can afford today,
Speaker 1: because the higher priced radios have more features a lot
Speaker 1: of times for better quality on receive. So and rather
Speaker 1: than spending money today and then upgrading later, if you
Speaker 1: can afford a four or five hundred dollars radio today,
Speaker 1: then buy it today. And and you're gonna do well
Speaker 1: with with any of those icons or kin Woods for sure,
Speaker 1: and wait for the can I'm sorry, icms are jazus
Speaker 1: for sure, and the Ken would when the new Knwood
Speaker 1: comes out, it's gonna be great, as well.
Speaker 4: Are we expecting that new Kenwood to be out by Hamcasion?
Speaker 1: I certainly hope, so I was hoping for it by Christmas,
Speaker 1: but it doesn't look like that's gonna happen.
Speaker 3: My money's all yate.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well it was Underglass at Dayton. Yeah. It's either
Speaker 1: going to be February or May.
Speaker 6: Probably when is the big reveal in Japan.
Speaker 1: It's like the week after Dayton Late late play June
Speaker 1: or something like that. Or no, no, I'm sorry, the
Speaker 1: week after Huntsville.
Speaker 6: Yeah, week after Huntsville.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, all.
Speaker 1: Right, guys, well, thank you very much for joining us tonight.
