8
00:00:22.399 --> 00:00:33.880
<v Speaker 1>for being a member of the community. I had John

9
00:00:34.000 --> 00:00:39.359
<v Speaker 1>Crook from Yazoo on the channel in March. Yeah, I'm

10
00:00:39.359 --> 00:00:42.039
<v Speaker 1>gonna remember what month I'm in, in March, March of

11
00:00:42.079 --> 00:00:45.119
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty five, and we were talking about the YAESU

12
00:00:45.200 --> 00:00:48.880
<v Speaker 1>FtM five ten, the new dual band mobile system fusion

13
00:00:48.960 --> 00:00:50.880
<v Speaker 1>radio that they had. But the live stream went for

14
00:00:50.920 --> 00:00:52.920
<v Speaker 1>almost two hours, and towards the end we just kind

15
00:00:52.920 --> 00:00:55.479
<v Speaker 1>of started talking about random stuff that Yesu's doing. I

16
00:00:55.640 --> 00:00:57.840
<v Speaker 1>cut out a clip of that, like a ten to

17
00:00:58.000 --> 00:01:00.479
<v Speaker 1>twelve minute clip of that where we were just talking

18
00:01:00.520 --> 00:01:04.359
<v Speaker 1>about the new FTX one F small QRP ten watt

19
00:01:04.439 --> 00:01:09.079
<v Speaker 1>radio that will be dual receive with hf VHF UHF

20
00:01:09.200 --> 00:01:11.480
<v Speaker 1>six meter all mode on all the bands. And I

21
00:01:11.519 --> 00:01:14.040
<v Speaker 1>put that up there and it was I got a

22
00:01:14.079 --> 00:01:17.840
<v Speaker 1>lot of really really good comments on that video, but

23
00:01:17.879 --> 00:01:19.680
<v Speaker 1>I got some good comments on Reddit too, and I

24
00:01:19.760 --> 00:01:25.120
<v Speaker 1>want to share those with you today. Today's video is

25
00:01:25.120 --> 00:01:28.879
<v Speaker 1>sponsored by ham dot Live. Take your net to the

00:01:32.640 --> 00:01:35.280
<v Speaker 1>that is web based and works from any platform. So

28
00:01:35.359 --> 00:01:38.760
<v Speaker 1>I like to browse around Reddit. As I've told you guys,

29
00:01:38.920 --> 00:01:41.799
<v Speaker 1>I really like to read articles on here. Some of

30
00:01:41.840 --> 00:01:46.000
<v Speaker 1>them are kind of good, some of them are very good.

31
00:01:46.159 --> 00:01:48.079
<v Speaker 1>Some of them are kind of like, ah, yeah, this

32
00:01:48.120 --> 00:01:50.879
<v Speaker 1>guy's just being a troll. But generally speaking, I found

33
00:01:50.920 --> 00:01:53.480
<v Speaker 1>some really good art articles on Reddit, and I've made

34
00:01:53.519 --> 00:01:55.879
<v Speaker 1>some videos about him, and you guys seem to comment

35
00:01:55.959 --> 00:01:59.120
<v Speaker 1>about them quite a bit. So first off, when I

36
00:01:59.519 --> 00:02:01.959
<v Speaker 1>want to get a shout out to Coastal Radio, don't

37
00:02:01.959 --> 00:02:04.359
<v Speaker 1>know who this gentleman is. No idea who this person is.

38
00:02:04.640 --> 00:02:07.640
<v Speaker 1>He does not share his call sign in his profile

39
00:02:07.920 --> 00:02:10.759
<v Speaker 1>picture here. I don't think this is Walt Coastal Radio,

40
00:02:11.240 --> 00:02:13.599
<v Speaker 1>Coastal Waves and Wire. I don't think this is him.

41
00:02:13.639 --> 00:02:15.879
<v Speaker 1>I think this is somebody else. But he is a

42
00:02:15.919 --> 00:02:19.599
<v Speaker 1>top one percent contributor and he posted this. He just

43
00:02:19.680 --> 00:02:22.879
<v Speaker 1>posted basically a title and a link to my video.

44
00:02:22.960 --> 00:02:24.360
<v Speaker 1>This is a clip from the live stream that I

45
00:02:24.360 --> 00:02:26.240
<v Speaker 1>did where I was talking to John about updates to

46
00:02:26.400 --> 00:02:30.680
<v Speaker 1>the FTX one F and then he posts Coastal Radio

47
00:02:30.680 --> 00:02:32.479
<v Speaker 1>posted on here. It says, in terms of updates, we

48
00:02:32.520 --> 00:02:36.520
<v Speaker 1>have no updates. Okay, I don't agree with his assessment

49
00:02:36.560 --> 00:02:40.120
<v Speaker 1>of that. But the reason I'm making this video is

50
00:02:40.120 --> 00:02:43.159
<v Speaker 1>I wanted to read through some of the comments. The

51
00:02:43.199 --> 00:02:46.919
<v Speaker 1>comments are the good part of the video you're watching

52
00:02:47.120 --> 00:02:50.680
<v Speaker 1>right now. So we're gonna start at the top. This

53
00:02:50.960 --> 00:02:52.639
<v Speaker 1>post is only about four or five days old at

54
00:02:52.680 --> 00:02:54.800
<v Speaker 1>the time of this recording. I made my post at

55
00:02:54.800 --> 00:02:56.599
<v Speaker 1>the very bottom here, and I'm gonna read that to

56
00:02:56.639 --> 00:02:59.120
<v Speaker 1>you last. So we're gonna go through here and do

57
00:02:59.159 --> 00:03:02.039
<v Speaker 1>this year and Happier with the seven oh five is

58
00:03:02.080 --> 00:03:05.560
<v Speaker 1>the first update Coastal Radio the original poster here. He says,

59
00:03:05.560 --> 00:03:06.919
<v Speaker 1>I was about to buy the seven oh five when

60
00:03:06.919 --> 00:03:08.840
<v Speaker 1>this radio was announced last year. Now my money is

61
00:03:08.840 --> 00:03:11.639
<v Speaker 1>burning a hole in my pocket. He says, edited to add,

62
00:03:11.719 --> 00:03:13.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm happy that you love your seven oh five. I

63
00:03:13.560 --> 00:03:15.560
<v Speaker 1>may still end up with one. I've got my seven

64
00:03:15.639 --> 00:03:18.560
<v Speaker 1>oh five in my armlock cage in it's actually in

65
00:03:18.599 --> 00:03:20.840
<v Speaker 1>the truck right now. Just did a twelve meter PoTA

66
00:03:20.879 --> 00:03:25.080
<v Speaker 1>activation with it. Ten watts on just last week at

67
00:03:25.080 --> 00:03:27.360
<v Speaker 1>a park because the twelve meter band has been up.

68
00:03:27.599 --> 00:03:29.919
<v Speaker 1>I'm not getting rid of my seven oh five. I

69
00:03:30.039 --> 00:03:32.120
<v Speaker 1>will be picking up the new yea'zy radio. I'm not

70
00:03:32.120 --> 00:03:34.159
<v Speaker 1>getting rid of my seven oh five. I'm one of

71
00:03:34.199 --> 00:03:36.960
<v Speaker 1>these guys who likes to cry and complain about QRP,

72
00:03:37.199 --> 00:03:39.120
<v Speaker 1>and then when a new QRP radio comes out, I

73
00:03:39.159 --> 00:03:44.319
<v Speaker 1>go buy it. Moving on, the next reply says, this

74
00:03:44.439 --> 00:03:46.759
<v Speaker 1>is exactly the kind of comment that I don't understand.

75
00:03:46.800 --> 00:03:49.400
<v Speaker 1>What about this radio makes you think it's somehow better

76
00:03:49.439 --> 00:03:51.919
<v Speaker 1>than seven o five? Are you just hedging on the

77
00:03:51.960 --> 00:03:54.599
<v Speaker 1>cost of the radio being lower. I think most speculation

78
00:03:54.800 --> 00:03:57.039
<v Speaker 1>is that the radio cost will be higher than the

79
00:03:57.120 --> 00:03:59.919
<v Speaker 1>seven oh five. Again, we talked to John about that

80
00:04:00.120 --> 00:04:01.560
<v Speaker 1>on the live stream and in that clip that I

81
00:04:01.639 --> 00:04:04.639
<v Speaker 1>shared with that's the topic of this original post here,

82
00:04:05.039 --> 00:04:08.120
<v Speaker 1>and he says that they don't They don't have any information,

83
00:04:08.319 --> 00:04:10.080
<v Speaker 1>or at least none they can share with us about

84
00:04:10.080 --> 00:04:12.120
<v Speaker 1>what the cost will be. The speculation is gonna is

85
00:04:12.159 --> 00:04:14.800
<v Speaker 1>that it's going to be somewhere closer to two thousand

86
00:04:14.840 --> 00:04:16.879
<v Speaker 1>dollars rather than one thousand dollars. At the time of

87
00:04:16.879 --> 00:04:19.600
<v Speaker 1>this recording, that the seven oh five is around thirteen

88
00:04:19.720 --> 00:04:22.160
<v Speaker 1>fifty ish. Kind of goes back and forth, depend on

89
00:04:22.199 --> 00:04:25.639
<v Speaker 1>what monthly deals Icon's running. So, but the speculation is

90
00:04:25.680 --> 00:04:28.439
<v Speaker 1>that it's going to be more expensive than ICM. I

91
00:04:28.439 --> 00:04:30.560
<v Speaker 1>could see it go the way. I don't really know.

92
00:04:30.680 --> 00:04:32.360
<v Speaker 1>I don't think I have an opinion one of the other.

93
00:04:32.560 --> 00:04:34.120
<v Speaker 1>They want to compete with the seven O five, So

94
00:04:34.160 --> 00:04:36.480
<v Speaker 1>maybe it's cheaper, but it's going to have more features

95
00:04:36.519 --> 00:04:39.040
<v Speaker 1>of seven O five and newer, and it's gonna be newer,

96
00:04:39.040 --> 00:04:41.279
<v Speaker 1>so maybe it's more expensive. I don't know, Okay, But

97
00:04:41.319 --> 00:04:43.600
<v Speaker 1>the op replies to that statement. He says, I like

98
00:04:43.639 --> 00:04:47.199
<v Speaker 1>doing satellite operations sometimes, but my walks on kV. You've

99
00:04:47.480 --> 00:04:51.800
<v Speaker 1>KGUV nine D mate D senses itself on VU VU

100
00:04:51.839 --> 00:04:55.720
<v Speaker 1>birds works fine for UV. Interesting, hadn't heard that before.

101
00:04:56.160 --> 00:04:58.160
<v Speaker 1>It seems like Yes will have the ability to do

102
00:04:58.199 --> 00:05:01.600
<v Speaker 1>full duplex and on VHF and you UF. Yes. Now

103
00:05:01.639 --> 00:05:04.480
<v Speaker 1>they have said that the Yazu will have full will

104
00:05:04.480 --> 00:05:08.120
<v Speaker 1>have full duplex because it's dual display. And you can

105
00:05:08.160 --> 00:05:11.720
<v Speaker 1>see that on the screenshot that I used for my thumbnail.

106
00:05:11.800 --> 00:05:13.439
<v Speaker 1>You can see four thirty two dot five on the

107
00:05:13.519 --> 00:05:16.920
<v Speaker 1>right or on the left. Rather, i'd learn my right

108
00:05:16.959 --> 00:05:19.079
<v Speaker 1>and left four thirty two dot five on the left,

109
00:05:19.240 --> 00:05:22.680
<v Speaker 1>fourteen twenty meters on the right. So it's supposed to

110
00:05:22.720 --> 00:05:26.600
<v Speaker 1>be full duplex for doing satellites, Like what the original

111
00:05:26.639 --> 00:05:29.120
<v Speaker 1>posters talking about here, it would be cool if my

112
00:05:29.120 --> 00:05:31.800
<v Speaker 1>field radio was able to do dual duty rather than

113
00:05:31.879 --> 00:05:35.600
<v Speaker 1>buying another high end dual band mobile just for satellite. Additionally,

114
00:05:35.639 --> 00:05:37.360
<v Speaker 1>if this is full duplex, it would let me work

115
00:05:37.399 --> 00:05:41.319
<v Speaker 1>linear birds in addition to just FM ones. Yes, very true. Otherwise,

116
00:05:41.360 --> 00:05:43.959
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what all the specs are and if

117
00:05:43.959 --> 00:05:45.759
<v Speaker 1>it will be better, worse, or the same as the

118
00:05:45.759 --> 00:05:48.199
<v Speaker 1>seven oh five. I'm curious to see if this thing

119
00:05:48.800 --> 00:05:51.079
<v Speaker 1>will offer what this thing will offer before I make

120
00:05:51.079 --> 00:05:53.160
<v Speaker 1>a decision to drop the cash. Previously, the seven oh

121
00:05:53.240 --> 00:05:55.279
<v Speaker 1>five was the only game in town. As soon as

122
00:05:55.279 --> 00:05:58.240
<v Speaker 1>the ft X one F is available, we have choices

123
00:05:58.560 --> 00:06:00.680
<v Speaker 1>for me. It's ultimately not about the best radio, but

124
00:06:00.680 --> 00:06:03.120
<v Speaker 1>the right radio for me. That's a very good statement.

125
00:06:03.160 --> 00:06:05.319
<v Speaker 1>I like that statement. I like that statement right there.

126
00:06:05.319 --> 00:06:08.959
<v Speaker 1>I couldn't agree more. For ultimately, it's not about getting

127
00:06:08.959 --> 00:06:11.160
<v Speaker 1>the best radio, but the right radio for you. What

128
00:06:11.240 --> 00:06:13.439
<v Speaker 1>are you gonna use that for? I've said that many times,

129
00:06:13.480 --> 00:06:17.680
<v Speaker 1>and all my best videos best, HT best Mobile, best HF,

130
00:06:17.720 --> 00:06:21.079
<v Speaker 1>best QRP best DMR. What are you gonna use it for?

131
00:06:21.120 --> 00:06:23.199
<v Speaker 1>How are you going to use it? And that answers

132
00:06:23.199 --> 00:06:25.480
<v Speaker 1>a specific question, So this is a very good statement

133
00:06:25.519 --> 00:06:28.480
<v Speaker 1>he's making here. There's also possibility that the user interface

134
00:06:28.480 --> 00:06:30.560
<v Speaker 1>may be similar to FT seven ten, which we regalnize.

135
00:06:31.000 --> 00:06:33.319
<v Speaker 1>I think it probably will be. That's just my guess.

136
00:06:33.600 --> 00:06:35.920
<v Speaker 1>I also don't understand your comment. What makes you think

137
00:06:36.519 --> 00:06:39.120
<v Speaker 1>that it won't be better than seven oh five? And

138
00:06:39.160 --> 00:06:42.480
<v Speaker 1>I commented on this little thread here. Okay, this is

139
00:06:42.519 --> 00:06:46.000
<v Speaker 1>not my last comment. So most everything Yazu has relieved

140
00:06:46.040 --> 00:06:47.720
<v Speaker 1>in the HF rold in the last five years is

141
00:06:47.800 --> 00:06:51.199
<v Speaker 1>better than its ICOM counterpart as far as received sensitivity

142
00:06:51.519 --> 00:06:54.600
<v Speaker 1>and signal purity. Okay, basically I'm talking about Sherwood reports

143
00:06:54.920 --> 00:06:58.160
<v Speaker 1>and tests in a lab, not in a real world environment. Okay,

144
00:06:58.480 --> 00:07:01.199
<v Speaker 1>they don't have a great menu system. Granted ICMS is better.

145
00:07:01.480 --> 00:07:05.000
<v Speaker 1>I'll I'll acknowledge that, and I have icons, And again

146
00:07:05.040 --> 00:07:06.759
<v Speaker 1>I'm keeping my seven or five. I'm not getting rid

147
00:07:06.759 --> 00:07:09.279
<v Speaker 1>of it. But as far as performance goes Yaesu's on top.

148
00:07:09.279 --> 00:07:11.240
<v Speaker 1>Look at the sure reports and other test results. If

149
00:07:11.240 --> 00:07:13.439
<v Speaker 1>you don't believe me. Also, how many radios has Yazu

150
00:07:13.519 --> 00:07:18.199
<v Speaker 1>released since twenty twenty now count icoms releases, And I've

151
00:07:18.199 --> 00:07:20.639
<v Speaker 1>said that in multiple videos in the past. Okay, this

152
00:07:20.680 --> 00:07:22.720
<v Speaker 1>guy run wants to know why do ampture radios have

153
00:07:22.759 --> 00:07:24.839
<v Speaker 1>to look like an aftermarket car stereo head unit from

154
00:07:24.839 --> 00:07:28.120
<v Speaker 1>the nineties. I don't really, I don't really agree with that.

155
00:07:28.240 --> 00:07:32.000
<v Speaker 1>I see what he's saying. Okay, it is a different

156
00:07:32.040 --> 00:07:34.319
<v Speaker 1>form factor, very very very similar to the seven o

157
00:07:34.399 --> 00:07:36.800
<v Speaker 1>five form factor. I see what you're saying. If you

158
00:07:36.839 --> 00:07:38.199
<v Speaker 1>don't like the look of it, you know, to each

159
00:07:38.240 --> 00:07:40.079
<v Speaker 1>his own, Okay, I get it, I get it. I'm

160
00:07:40.079 --> 00:07:42.639
<v Speaker 1>gonna thumbs up him anyway, because the kids were putting

161
00:07:42.639 --> 00:07:44.480
<v Speaker 1>aftermarket radios in the cars in nineties and now they're

162
00:07:44.480 --> 00:07:47.199
<v Speaker 1>old enough to get started ham radio jokes. Aside, My

163
00:07:47.319 --> 00:07:50.800
<v Speaker 1>YESUFTDX ten looks almost exactly like the Sony I put

164
00:07:50.839 --> 00:07:53.800
<v Speaker 1>in my eighty eight Terseell back in ninety six. But

165
00:07:53.839 --> 00:07:57.160
<v Speaker 1>I kind of like it. I've never seen really that

166
00:07:57.199 --> 00:07:59.879
<v Speaker 1>would be a big freaking car stereo because the YAZUFTDX

167
00:08:00.040 --> 00:08:03.040
<v Speaker 1>ten screen is huge. I don't know, I don't know.

168
00:08:03.079 --> 00:08:04.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't know that. I don't I can't see that.

169
00:08:05.240 --> 00:08:08.319
<v Speaker 1>I'm looking, I can't see that. But hey, if what

170
00:08:08.439 --> 00:08:10.319
<v Speaker 1>you're saying, okay, here's some here's a little bit of

171
00:08:10.360 --> 00:08:11.879
<v Speaker 1>merit to which I don't think there's any merit to

172
00:08:11.920 --> 00:08:14.199
<v Speaker 1>what you're saying. I don't think they look actually look

173
00:08:14.360 --> 00:08:17.360
<v Speaker 1>like car stereos from the nineties, But hey, if they do,

174
00:08:17.600 --> 00:08:20.800
<v Speaker 1>then aren't we always asking how to get more younger

175
00:08:20.800 --> 00:08:24.360
<v Speaker 1>people interested in amateur radio. Give them something they can

176
00:08:24.399 --> 00:08:26.959
<v Speaker 1>relate to. This one's good. Here, What would you like

177
00:08:27.000 --> 00:08:28.839
<v Speaker 1>them to? What would you have them look like? An

178
00:08:28.920 --> 00:08:33.720
<v Speaker 1>iPad with garbage touch screen? Everything? Definitely not, definitely not,

179
00:08:33.840 --> 00:08:36.399
<v Speaker 1>And he replies, definitely not. I prefer a mix of

180
00:08:36.519 --> 00:08:42.519
<v Speaker 1>vintage brawn design esthetic and military utilitarian ruggedness. I you

181
00:08:42.559 --> 00:08:44.799
<v Speaker 1>know what, I can't say. I disagree with that. I

182
00:08:44.840 --> 00:08:47.480
<v Speaker 1>think that would be I think if we had I

183
00:08:47.480 --> 00:08:52.120
<v Speaker 1>think the most recent radio that might fit that description

184
00:08:52.480 --> 00:08:57.440
<v Speaker 1>is the recently discontinued twice Icon ice seventy two hundred.

185
00:08:58.080 --> 00:09:01.200
<v Speaker 1>It had a very rugged military design and look and

186
00:09:01.200 --> 00:09:04.120
<v Speaker 1>feel to it. The screen was just monochrome, was not

187
00:09:04.200 --> 00:09:07.200
<v Speaker 1>touch screen, was the old eight bit character screen like

188
00:09:07.200 --> 00:09:10.279
<v Speaker 1>your alarm clock, and nothing special about it. But it

189
00:09:10.320 --> 00:09:15.440
<v Speaker 1>was a fantastic, very rugged radio. So yeah, I would

190
00:09:15.480 --> 00:09:18.279
<v Speaker 1>I would agree with that. ICM definitely has better ergonomics,

191
00:09:18.279 --> 00:09:20.919
<v Speaker 1>and the UI part I will agree with. I think

192
00:09:20.960 --> 00:09:22.960
<v Speaker 1>something to do with it is that for new buyers

193
00:09:23.080 --> 00:09:26.000
<v Speaker 1>these days, waterfall is more important than the received sensitivity

194
00:09:26.039 --> 00:09:29.399
<v Speaker 1>and antennas. Yeah, sadly, I think you're right, And so

195
00:09:29.440 --> 00:09:32.279
<v Speaker 1>for the rest of the design, short design sort of

196
00:09:32.320 --> 00:09:35.399
<v Speaker 1>falls in line with the large, fancy color display. Now

197
00:09:35.480 --> 00:09:37.720
<v Speaker 1>the icom Ic seventy three hundred and the new seventy

198
00:09:37.720 --> 00:09:39.879
<v Speaker 1>seven to sixty have a large color display with a

199
00:09:39.960 --> 00:09:45.759
<v Speaker 1>really fancy waterfall two, So everybody's doing that. In other words,

200
00:09:46.360 --> 00:09:49.840
<v Speaker 1>the latest u HF radio from Kinwood is the TS

201
00:09:49.919 --> 00:09:52.960
<v Speaker 1>eight ninety I believe has a good a good waterfall,

202
00:09:53.039 --> 00:09:56.639
<v Speaker 1>So everybody's doing that. But more people are concerned about

203
00:09:56.639 --> 00:09:59.960
<v Speaker 1>the waterfall than the receiver sensitivity. And that was my

204
00:10:00.279 --> 00:10:02.919
<v Speaker 1>that was the point of my original comment at the top.

205
00:10:03.320 --> 00:10:06.200
<v Speaker 1>In a hobby where people still actively using sixty plus

206
00:10:06.240 --> 00:10:09.159
<v Speaker 1>year old gear, I'd imagine it's tough to figure out

207
00:10:09.200 --> 00:10:12.960
<v Speaker 1>how to time and produce new, updated equipment. All right,

208
00:10:13.000 --> 00:10:17.759
<v Speaker 1>here we go. Wk U ace Hamy Radio two point

209
00:10:17.799 --> 00:10:20.519
<v Speaker 1>zero had a yes you rep on the other day. Yeah,

210
00:10:20.559 --> 00:10:23.519
<v Speaker 1>the one that was in the video that you're replying to.

211
00:10:23.559 --> 00:10:26.080
<v Speaker 1>But okay, and he basically said that they were waiting

212
00:10:26.080 --> 00:10:28.600
<v Speaker 1>for the FCC approval. Apparently the FCC really cracks down

213
00:10:28.679 --> 00:10:30.879
<v Speaker 1>on sharing pricing if things are not approved, so they

214
00:10:30.879 --> 00:10:33.240
<v Speaker 1>can't do that. Yet. The stuff is slow at best

215
00:10:33.240 --> 00:10:35.480
<v Speaker 1>of times, and with this current political turmoil it may

216
00:10:35.600 --> 00:10:38.759
<v Speaker 1>slow things down a bit. One comment says, I just

217
00:10:38.799 --> 00:10:41.480
<v Speaker 1>saw that. He also said their planning on global release,

218
00:10:41.519 --> 00:10:43.960
<v Speaker 1>so it's taking longer to coordinate approval. Yep, that was

219
00:10:44.000 --> 00:10:47.240
<v Speaker 1>all in the video. That's literally what this video is. Yeah.

220
00:10:48.240 --> 00:10:51.480
<v Speaker 1>Hotel Hero, Yeah, Hotel Hero, you get it. Yeah. I

221
00:10:51.519 --> 00:10:54.360
<v Speaker 1>didn't realize it was this link. I had maybe four

222
00:10:54.440 --> 00:10:56.440
<v Speaker 1>or five hours of sleep. Oh man, I'm hearing you.

223
00:10:56.639 --> 00:11:00.279
<v Speaker 1>My allergies have been killing me lately. Get some sleep, brother. Okay,

224
00:11:00.399 --> 00:11:02.480
<v Speaker 1>So you guys are all correct. I agree with everything

225
00:11:02.519 --> 00:11:05.519
<v Speaker 1>you say. So this guy says this is a BS excuse,

226
00:11:05.559 --> 00:11:09.240
<v Speaker 1>and he links to something about new FCC equipment marketing

227
00:11:09.279 --> 00:11:12.840
<v Speaker 1>rules allow pre sale of radio frequency devices to consumers,

228
00:11:12.960 --> 00:11:16.360
<v Speaker 1>and he links to this wily dot law. So I

229
00:11:16.360 --> 00:11:18.600
<v Speaker 1>don't know, maybe I'll go read that. I'm not gonna

230
00:11:18.639 --> 00:11:20.519
<v Speaker 1>go read that. Right now, I'll share a link to

231
00:11:20.559 --> 00:11:22.679
<v Speaker 1>this article. You guys can go read that. There's been

232
00:11:22.720 --> 00:11:26.080
<v Speaker 1>a lot of comments on that original video saying that

233
00:11:26.600 --> 00:11:30.639
<v Speaker 1>what John said was wrong about Yazu not being able

234
00:11:30.639 --> 00:11:34.039
<v Speaker 1>to release prize due to FCC regulations. I don't know.

235
00:11:34.679 --> 00:11:37.320
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I know John. John's a pretty straight shooter.

236
00:11:37.440 --> 00:11:40.799
<v Speaker 1>He he'll tell you. He doesn't tell you what you

237
00:11:40.840 --> 00:11:43.000
<v Speaker 1>want to hear. He'll tell you the truth. And if

238
00:11:43.000 --> 00:11:45.080
<v Speaker 1>it's something he can't talk about, he's like, I just

239
00:11:45.159 --> 00:11:47.320
<v Speaker 1>I can't talk about that, And I'm like, you know,

240
00:11:47.399 --> 00:11:50.960
<v Speaker 1>that's an honest answer. I understand he is restricted from

241
00:11:51.000 --> 00:11:55.960
<v Speaker 1>saying certain things because he works for Yaesu. Okay, you

242
00:11:56.039 --> 00:11:58.080
<v Speaker 1>work for Icon, you work for Kinwood, you work for

243
00:11:58.080 --> 00:12:01.879
<v Speaker 1>freakin' any tone in China. You going to be restricted

244
00:12:01.919 --> 00:12:04.960
<v Speaker 1>from saying certain things. It's just the way capitalism and

245
00:12:05.000 --> 00:12:08.840
<v Speaker 1>consumerism and commercial manufacturing works. It works this way and

246
00:12:08.840 --> 00:12:10.799
<v Speaker 1>every You know, if you worked for Canon Cameras or

247
00:12:10.799 --> 00:12:13.159
<v Speaker 1>for Nike on cameras and they were working on something new,

248
00:12:13.240 --> 00:12:15.080
<v Speaker 1>as a person who might be a sales rep, you

249
00:12:15.080 --> 00:12:17.559
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't be able to talk about that until they say, okay,

250
00:12:17.600 --> 00:12:20.399
<v Speaker 1>press release going out tomorrow. Now we can talk about this.

251
00:12:20.399 --> 00:12:23.720
<v Speaker 1>This is not uncommon. This is very very common in

252
00:12:23.759 --> 00:12:28.039
<v Speaker 1>the manufacturing commercial manufacturing industry world. And YESU is JAESU

253
00:12:28.159 --> 00:12:33.399
<v Speaker 1>manufacturers amateur radios, but they are a commercial vendor. Okay,

254
00:12:33.600 --> 00:12:35.320
<v Speaker 1>you and I can go build a radio in our

255
00:12:35.360 --> 00:12:37.080
<v Speaker 1>garage and put it on the air. It'd be totally

256
00:12:37.159 --> 00:12:41.120
<v Speaker 1>legit to use a home brew radio under Part ninety

257
00:12:41.120 --> 00:12:46.480
<v Speaker 1>seven of the Rules and Regulations of Open Radio Experimentation.

258
00:12:47.000 --> 00:12:49.480
<v Speaker 1>That's our license gives us that. But since YESU is

259
00:12:49.519 --> 00:12:52.720
<v Speaker 1>selling stuff for profit, the rules apply to them a

260
00:12:52.759 --> 00:12:54.759
<v Speaker 1>little bit differently than it does you and I. If

261
00:12:54.759 --> 00:12:57.000
<v Speaker 1>I started building a homebrew radio and started selling it

262
00:12:57.039 --> 00:13:00.320
<v Speaker 1>for profit, then my rules would say the rules would

263
00:13:00.399 --> 00:13:02.240
<v Speaker 1>change for me, at least when I got to a

264
00:13:02.240 --> 00:13:05.000
<v Speaker 1>certain degree of units sold they would. So it's just

265
00:13:05.159 --> 00:13:07.559
<v Speaker 1>it's not the same thing. So this is this is

266
00:13:07.679 --> 00:13:11.279
<v Speaker 1>common everywhere. I believe what John was saying. I do.

267
00:13:11.320 --> 00:13:13.000
<v Speaker 1>I believe what he was saying. I don't think he

268
00:13:13.039 --> 00:13:14.960
<v Speaker 1>would lead us as I don't think he would just

269
00:13:15.080 --> 00:13:17.080
<v Speaker 1>make up something and say, no, we don't want to

270
00:13:17.080 --> 00:13:18.840
<v Speaker 1>tell you the price. FCC don't have anything to do

271
00:13:18.919 --> 00:13:21.360
<v Speaker 1>with it. We just want to I don't know. I

272
00:13:21.360 --> 00:13:24.159
<v Speaker 1>don't think he would do that, but that's my opinion

273
00:13:24.240 --> 00:13:25.919
<v Speaker 1>and you can take that or leave it however you

274
00:13:26.000 --> 00:13:28.039
<v Speaker 1>want to do. This is a good comment here. Folks

275
00:13:28.080 --> 00:13:30.360
<v Speaker 1>complain about Yes's timelines like they are the worst ever.

276
00:13:30.639 --> 00:13:33.039
<v Speaker 1>You really ought to have lived through ten tech, and

277
00:13:33.080 --> 00:13:35.240
<v Speaker 1>this guy says, yeah, some folks are upset. I'm just

278
00:13:35.279 --> 00:13:36.639
<v Speaker 1>a bit antsy. As long as I get a q

279
00:13:36.759 --> 00:13:39.240
<v Speaker 1>r P field radio I like by summer, I'm happy.

280
00:13:40.039 --> 00:13:42.519
<v Speaker 1>That's the original poster replying to that, I'm sure Yes

281
00:13:42.639 --> 00:13:44.159
<v Speaker 1>wants to sell it and they are pushing as hard

282
00:13:44.200 --> 00:13:46.360
<v Speaker 1>as they dare. We need to just relax and let

283
00:13:46.399 --> 00:13:48.519
<v Speaker 1>the lethargic system do its thing. That's a good way

284
00:13:48.519 --> 00:13:52.120
<v Speaker 1>to describe it, the lethargic system, because these things are

285
00:13:52.559 --> 00:13:54.679
<v Speaker 1>everything's a hurry up and wait game with new equipment

286
00:13:54.720 --> 00:13:57.320
<v Speaker 1>being released to market. It just is. There are a

287
00:13:57.360 --> 00:14:00.320
<v Speaker 1>dizzying array of excellent radios in the market to choose

288
00:14:00.399 --> 00:14:04.879
<v Speaker 1>from for ops that need something immediately and coastal radio.

289
00:14:04.919 --> 00:14:08.120
<v Speaker 1>The original poster says, one, I'm excited to see what

290
00:14:08.159 --> 00:14:11.000
<v Speaker 1>it offers. I'll be buying either the FTX one or

291
00:14:11.039 --> 00:14:12.639
<v Speaker 1>the IC seven to five as soon as the thing

292
00:14:12.679 --> 00:14:16.399
<v Speaker 1>is approved. So my comment here which is the last

293
00:14:16.399 --> 00:14:18.639
<v Speaker 1>thing we're going to talk about. Don't forget that. Today's

303
00:14:42.320 --> 00:14:44.559
<v Speaker 1>By the time this video post, there might be a

304
00:14:44.559 --> 00:14:47.000
<v Speaker 1>few more comments on it than what you're seeing right here.

305
00:14:47.080 --> 00:14:48.720
<v Speaker 1>But this is the comment I made right before I

306
00:14:48.799 --> 00:14:52.080
<v Speaker 1>hit record on on the video. Okay, and this is

307
00:14:52.120 --> 00:14:53.960
<v Speaker 1>this is what I think if you had spoken and

308
00:14:54.039 --> 00:14:59.639
<v Speaker 1>I'm I'm replying directly to the title of this article,

309
00:14:59.720 --> 00:15:02.759
<v Speaker 1>which it is in terms of updates, we have no updates.

310
00:15:02.840 --> 00:15:07.639
<v Speaker 1>That's not entirely true. It's not entirely true. And here's

311
00:15:07.720 --> 00:15:12.000
<v Speaker 1>my comment about specifically that if you had spoken to

312
00:15:12.080 --> 00:15:14.639
<v Speaker 1>Yezu at the Tokyo Hanfair last year or Hamcasion this year,

313
00:15:14.679 --> 00:15:17.360
<v Speaker 1>then watch this video of the updates. The updated info

314
00:15:17.480 --> 00:15:20.120
<v Speaker 1>should be apparent to you. Yes, they are taking too long,

315
00:15:20.159 --> 00:15:23.200
<v Speaker 1>but that is common from everyone in this industry, any industry. Actually.

316
00:15:23.240 --> 00:15:26.279
<v Speaker 1>Patience is not our strong suit. I'm guilty of this too.

317
00:15:26.720 --> 00:15:29.240
<v Speaker 1>I want the radio yesterday. I don't blame you, guys,

318
00:15:29.360 --> 00:15:32.320
<v Speaker 1>I really don't. Crying and griping about it online is

319
00:15:32.360 --> 00:15:36.039
<v Speaker 1>not gonna change anything. But I'm with you on that, Okay.

320
00:15:36.279 --> 00:15:38.679
<v Speaker 1>Patience is not our strong suit. But I can almost

321
00:15:38.679 --> 00:15:42.320
<v Speaker 1>guarantee that when this radio releases, they will sell out

322
00:15:42.360 --> 00:15:44.559
<v Speaker 1>quickly and you'll be forced to wait for the second

323
00:15:44.559 --> 00:15:47.679
<v Speaker 1>batch if you don't take early advantage. I might be wrong,

324
00:15:48.200 --> 00:15:50.519
<v Speaker 1>but I don't think that. I am so. I can

325
00:15:50.559 --> 00:15:53.039
<v Speaker 1>almost guarantee you that when this radio does release, it's

326
00:15:53.080 --> 00:15:57.039
<v Speaker 1>going to be popular. It's gonna be popular. There's gonna

327
00:15:57.039 --> 00:16:01.240
<v Speaker 1>be a lot of people buying this radio, putting them

328
00:16:01.279 --> 00:16:03.840
<v Speaker 1>on the air, and using them. Dual receive, dual display,

329
00:16:04.200 --> 00:16:08.320
<v Speaker 1>full duplex. As far as UHF VHF goes. Someone asked

330
00:16:08.399 --> 00:16:10.600
<v Speaker 1>in one comment somewhere about whether it would duplex or

331
00:16:10.639 --> 00:16:16.000
<v Speaker 1>crossbandpeat between HF and VHF UHF and while that might

332
00:16:16.159 --> 00:16:18.279
<v Speaker 1>be a fun thing to try on ten meters, which

333
00:16:18.320 --> 00:16:21.120
<v Speaker 1>is the only HF band where you can legally use FM.

334
00:16:21.679 --> 00:16:23.399
<v Speaker 1>I don't really see the point in that. I mean,

335
00:16:23.440 --> 00:16:26.240
<v Speaker 1>I guess you could crossband it from UHF to ten

336
00:16:26.320 --> 00:16:29.559
<v Speaker 1>meters and work some ten meter repeaters and that type

337
00:16:29.559 --> 00:16:31.600
<v Speaker 1>of thing. I kind of doubt it will do that.

338
00:16:31.840 --> 00:16:34.399
<v Speaker 1>I doubt the crossband feature will work on HF, but

339
00:16:35.320 --> 00:16:38.960
<v Speaker 1>who knows. Who knows. Maybe that's kind of cool. But

340
00:16:39.879 --> 00:16:42.120
<v Speaker 1>I think this radio is gonna be very popular, and

341
00:16:42.159 --> 00:16:44.840
<v Speaker 1>I think it's going to be an introduction to a

342
00:16:44.919 --> 00:16:48.240
<v Speaker 1>new line of radios that Jesu is releasing, because Yesu

343
00:16:48.279 --> 00:16:50.720
<v Speaker 1>has been very good about releasing radios for the last

344
00:16:50.799 --> 00:16:53.759
<v Speaker 1>five or six years. Ever since the Japanese factory fire

345
00:16:54.159 --> 00:16:57.519
<v Speaker 1>COVID locked everything down all other lockdowns, you know, stuff

346
00:16:57.519 --> 00:17:00.600
<v Speaker 1>in China get in lockdown for various reasons, they have

347
00:17:00.720 --> 00:17:03.639
<v Speaker 1>been on the game releasing radios unlike some of their

348
00:17:03.639 --> 00:17:06.359
<v Speaker 1>competitors for the last five years, and I've been pretty

349
00:17:06.400 --> 00:17:08.519
<v Speaker 1>happy with all of the products I've got from them.

350
00:17:08.559 --> 00:17:10.960
<v Speaker 1>So five years ago, I wouldn't have really claimed to

351
00:17:10.960 --> 00:17:13.599
<v Speaker 1>be much of a Yazu fanboy, but today I kind

352
00:17:13.599 --> 00:17:15.640
<v Speaker 1>of am. Although I still really like my Kinwood and

353
00:17:15.720 --> 00:17:17.799
<v Speaker 1>my Ucom Radios two, so I try to be as

354
00:17:17.839 --> 00:17:20.480
<v Speaker 1>brand agnostic as I can, but I will tell you

355
00:17:20.519 --> 00:17:24.279
<v Speaker 1>which one I do like better. Given the opportunity, put

356
00:17:24.279 --> 00:17:26.279
<v Speaker 1>your comment below. Let me go know what you guys

357
00:17:26.279 --> 00:17:28.960
<v Speaker 1>think about this. I would like to know what your

358
00:17:29.000 --> 00:17:32.119
<v Speaker 1>comments are on that, whether that video was actually updates,

359
00:17:32.279 --> 00:17:34.240
<v Speaker 1>whether you like the updates, which you'd like to hear

360
00:17:34.480 --> 00:17:37.519
<v Speaker 1>about the FCC and pricing thing. I don't know. Leave

361
00:17:37.559 --> 00:17:40.160
<v Speaker 1>me a comment blow thanks for watching today, and YouTube

362
00:17:40.160 --> 00:17:42.279
<v Speaker 1>thinks that you want to watch these videos next, so
