1
00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:03.680
<v Speaker 1>What are the top seven handheld ham radios under one

2
00:00:03.799 --> 00:00:06.480
<v Speaker 1>hundred and fifty dollars. I'm going to tell you how

3
00:00:06.519 --> 00:00:08.240
<v Speaker 1>I came up with this list and see what you

4
00:00:08.279 --> 00:00:14.560
<v Speaker 1>think about it. Check this out. I went into AI.

5
00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:18.359
<v Speaker 1>I used grock dot AI or grock dot com maybe

6
00:00:18.359 --> 00:00:21.359
<v Speaker 1>it was. It's the the x dot com twitters AI

7
00:00:21.800 --> 00:00:25.320
<v Speaker 1>and I've been using it to ask questions lately. Kind

8
00:00:25.719 --> 00:00:28.120
<v Speaker 1>kind of accurate, kind of fun. So I said, hey,

9
00:00:28.120 --> 00:00:30.800
<v Speaker 1>what are the top seven handheld ham radios under one

10
00:00:30.839 --> 00:00:34.119
<v Speaker 1>hundred and fifty dollars? List all their features and you know,

11
00:00:34.159 --> 00:00:36.359
<v Speaker 1>give me it. Give it to me an email format.

12
00:00:36.359 --> 00:00:38.359
<v Speaker 1>So it did that, and I think, you know, it

13
00:00:38.439 --> 00:00:41.799
<v Speaker 1>was probably about eighty five ninety percent accurate. It put

14
00:00:41.880 --> 00:00:43.640
<v Speaker 1>the UV five R on there. I got rid of

15
00:00:43.640 --> 00:00:45.359
<v Speaker 1>that one. I'm like, I'm not gonna put the UV

16
00:00:45.399 --> 00:00:49.320
<v Speaker 1>five R on a best list, okay. And I added

17
00:00:49.359 --> 00:00:51.200
<v Speaker 1>one or two of my own. So let's go. This

18
00:00:51.320 --> 00:00:55.560
<v Speaker 1>is AI started but then edited by me and with

19
00:00:55.640 --> 00:00:59.039
<v Speaker 1>some extra commentary on the side. So let's see what

20
00:00:59.079 --> 00:01:01.399
<v Speaker 1>this looks like. We are going to go in order

21
00:01:01.520 --> 00:01:05.400
<v Speaker 1>of price. Usually when I do these top top videos

22
00:01:05.480 --> 00:01:07.640
<v Speaker 1>or best of videos or something like that, I go

23
00:01:07.760 --> 00:01:10.040
<v Speaker 1>in order of price, so we're gonna start at the

24
00:01:10.040 --> 00:01:13.280
<v Speaker 1>lowest price and we're gonna go up to the highest price.

25
00:01:13.359 --> 00:01:17.439
<v Speaker 1>This is the tyt UV eighty eight dual band ht

26
00:01:17.640 --> 00:01:20.680
<v Speaker 1>HAM radio and it still shows in production on Amazon,

27
00:01:20.719 --> 00:01:23.480
<v Speaker 1>but on by two Way Radios, which is originally where

28
00:01:23.480 --> 00:01:24.519
<v Speaker 1>I wanted to show it to you. As on the

29
00:01:24.560 --> 00:01:27.319
<v Speaker 1>By two Way Radio's website, it shows that it's been discontinued,

30
00:01:27.480 --> 00:01:29.239
<v Speaker 1>so I got to email them and see if there's

31
00:01:29.280 --> 00:01:31.040
<v Speaker 1>maybe a new version out there or something. I don't know,

32
00:01:31.040 --> 00:01:33.760
<v Speaker 1>but it's still called a tyt UV eighty eight comes

33
00:01:33.799 --> 00:01:37.280
<v Speaker 1>in at forty dollars on Amazon or put a link

34
00:01:37.319 --> 00:01:40.400
<v Speaker 1>to this in the description below. The tyt UV eighty

35
00:01:40.439 --> 00:01:44.040
<v Speaker 1>eight features are it is a dual band locked to

36
00:01:44.079 --> 00:01:47.719
<v Speaker 1>the VHF and UHF amateur radio ban two power settings,

37
00:01:47.760 --> 00:01:50.640
<v Speaker 1>five wats on high, one WAT on low, fourteen hundred

38
00:01:50.640 --> 00:01:53.840
<v Speaker 1>million power battery, two hundred channels. Two hundred channels is

39
00:01:53.879 --> 00:01:57.560
<v Speaker 1>going to become significant, so be ready and listening for that.

40
00:01:58.200 --> 00:02:01.400
<v Speaker 1>It does have FM broadcast radio receive. It has VOX.

41
00:02:01.439 --> 00:02:04.640
<v Speaker 1>It includes a programming cable, high gain antenna backlit LCD

42
00:02:05.159 --> 00:02:07.799
<v Speaker 1>pros are that the programming cables included good audio and

43
00:02:07.840 --> 00:02:11.280
<v Speaker 1>it's compact. The cons are it has a shorter battery life,

44
00:02:11.400 --> 00:02:14.319
<v Speaker 1>it is not waterproof, and it has less community support

45
00:02:14.319 --> 00:02:16.080
<v Speaker 1>than some of the other radios we're going to talk

46
00:02:16.120 --> 00:02:19.639
<v Speaker 1>about today. This is a great entry level radio for

47
00:02:19.680 --> 00:02:21.599
<v Speaker 1>those of you who want to get into amateur radio.

48
00:02:21.680 --> 00:02:23.960
<v Speaker 1>For a low price forty bucks, you can't really go

49
00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:26.039
<v Speaker 1>wrong with that, and unlike some of the ones we're

50
00:02:26.039 --> 00:02:29.080
<v Speaker 1>going to talk about, it has two hundred memory channels. Now,

51
00:02:29.120 --> 00:02:31.759
<v Speaker 1>this next one is an honorable mention. This is the

52
00:02:31.800 --> 00:02:35.599
<v Speaker 1>QRZ one Explorer radio that was a brain child collaboration

53
00:02:35.759 --> 00:02:40.280
<v Speaker 1>between qrz dot com and gigaparts. This radio lists for

54
00:02:40.560 --> 00:02:45.439
<v Speaker 1>fifty nine to ninety five on the gigaparts website. Oftentimes

55
00:02:45.479 --> 00:02:49.199
<v Speaker 1>you can get this radio on sale deep discount, sometimes free.

56
00:02:49.240 --> 00:02:51.560
<v Speaker 1>They do a lot of giveaways with it it does.

57
00:02:51.840 --> 00:02:54.439
<v Speaker 1>It is the same hardware as the UV eighty eight,

58
00:02:54.520 --> 00:02:56.560
<v Speaker 1>but it has its own custom firmware a little bit

59
00:02:56.560 --> 00:03:00.000
<v Speaker 1>more stable, and since it's sold by gigaparts, you alway

60
00:03:00.120 --> 00:03:01.960
<v Speaker 1>going to be able to get support through gigabarts instead

61
00:03:01.960 --> 00:03:04.800
<v Speaker 1>of having to contact someone overseas. You know, if you

62
00:03:04.879 --> 00:03:07.520
<v Speaker 1>want support for forty dollars. Radio sixty dollars is the

63
00:03:07.800 --> 00:03:11.120
<v Speaker 1>list price. Again, you can oftentimes find this on sale.

64
00:03:11.280 --> 00:03:14.520
<v Speaker 1>It is. They did a large push of giveaways for

65
00:03:14.560 --> 00:03:17.840
<v Speaker 1>new hands when this was first released, and we're gonna

66
00:03:17.879 --> 00:03:20.159
<v Speaker 1>probably be doing some giveaways of it on the next

67
00:03:20.240 --> 00:03:23.639
<v Speaker 1>Left's make a deal. In fact, that might even air

68
00:03:23.800 --> 00:03:26.719
<v Speaker 1>before this video. We'll see what's more on that coming

69
00:03:26.800 --> 00:03:29.120
<v Speaker 1>up soon. Number two officially on the list is the

70
00:03:29.159 --> 00:03:32.479
<v Speaker 1>Redivus RT eighty five. Now, at first when I looked

71
00:03:32.479 --> 00:03:34.919
<v Speaker 1>at this, this is a two pack for forty one dollars,

72
00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:37.520
<v Speaker 1>so technically speaking, this is cheaper than the UV eighty eight.

73
00:03:37.719 --> 00:03:40.360
<v Speaker 1>This one's a forty dollars for this one with an

74
00:03:40.360 --> 00:03:44.039
<v Speaker 1>extra antenna programming cable. This package on Amazon actually also

75
00:03:44.080 --> 00:03:47.120
<v Speaker 1>comes with an earpiece USBC chargeable battery on that radio,

76
00:03:47.120 --> 00:03:49.840
<v Speaker 1>but it also has a desk cradle. This two pack

77
00:03:49.919 --> 00:03:54.840
<v Speaker 1>here on Amazon again of the Redivivus RT eighty five,

78
00:03:55.280 --> 00:03:58.400
<v Speaker 1>very similar radio to the TYT model. Honestly, there's a

79
00:03:58.400 --> 00:04:01.599
<v Speaker 1>lot of Tyt and Reddivus models that are basically the

80
00:04:01.639 --> 00:04:04.520
<v Speaker 1>same thing. One number on Redivus, one number on Tyt.

81
00:04:05.080 --> 00:04:07.599
<v Speaker 1>Check them out and see which one you like better

82
00:04:07.800 --> 00:04:11.240
<v Speaker 1>and kind of make your decision from there. But on

83
00:04:11.360 --> 00:04:14.639
<v Speaker 1>the RT eighty five, the features are that it is

84
00:04:14.719 --> 00:04:18.000
<v Speaker 1>dual band once again, it's dual power, five watts on high,

85
00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:20.959
<v Speaker 1>one watt on lower, fourteen hundred mili amp hour battery,

86
00:04:21.360 --> 00:04:24.519
<v Speaker 1>only one hundred and twenty eight channels, unlike the UV

87
00:04:24.600 --> 00:04:27.560
<v Speaker 1>eighty eight, which has two hundred channels. It has FM

88
00:04:27.639 --> 00:04:30.759
<v Speaker 1>radio receive, it has vox an emergency alarm, a very

89
00:04:30.800 --> 00:04:35.439
<v Speaker 1>clear LCD, and typically they will come with a earpiece

90
00:04:35.480 --> 00:04:37.839
<v Speaker 1>and a charger, although this two pack you'd have to

91
00:04:37.839 --> 00:04:40.279
<v Speaker 1>read the details of this link, and you know sometimes

92
00:04:40.319 --> 00:04:41.920
<v Speaker 1>you can you can. You can also find these for

93
00:04:41.920 --> 00:04:44.639
<v Speaker 1>a single pack, which may come with more things in

94
00:04:44.680 --> 00:04:46.319
<v Speaker 1>that listing as well, but this is a two pack

95
00:04:46.360 --> 00:04:49.079
<v Speaker 1>for forty two dollars. Pros of this radio is that

96
00:04:49.120 --> 00:04:52.600
<v Speaker 1>it's user friendly, good audio, and reliable short range coms.

97
00:04:53.199 --> 00:04:57.680
<v Speaker 1>Cons are again, it's smaller, it's limited accessories and not waterproof.

98
00:04:57.920 --> 00:05:02.120
<v Speaker 1>Best for beginners and ham radio enthusiast who may want something.

99
00:05:02.720 --> 00:05:04.639
<v Speaker 1>If you want a two pack, that might be the

100
00:05:04.639 --> 00:05:06.600
<v Speaker 1>answer for you. The next one on the list is

101
00:05:06.600 --> 00:05:09.199
<v Speaker 1>a Balfang UV eighty two. Now we're going to talk

102
00:05:09.199 --> 00:05:11.240
<v Speaker 1>about a UV eighty two HP pro here in a

103
00:05:11.240 --> 00:05:14.600
<v Speaker 1>second from Balfang Tech, but don't get those confused because

104
00:05:14.600 --> 00:05:17.879
<v Speaker 1>the numbers are similar. This one here is a Balfang

105
00:05:18.120 --> 00:05:20.319
<v Speaker 1>UV eighty two high Power. It's one of the first

106
00:05:20.720 --> 00:05:24.800
<v Speaker 1>eight watt hts that Balfang themselves came out with. Again,

107
00:05:24.879 --> 00:05:27.800
<v Speaker 1>this is a two pack for sixty dollars, so you

108
00:05:27.800 --> 00:05:29.240
<v Speaker 1>can get both of these right now. It has a

109
00:05:29.279 --> 00:05:32.120
<v Speaker 1>fifteen percent off coupon, so that's kind of neat fifteen

110
00:05:32.120 --> 00:05:35.000
<v Speaker 1>percent off coupon on that right there, and you can

111
00:05:35.040 --> 00:05:37.199
<v Speaker 1>get those on Amazon. These have been readily available for

112
00:05:37.240 --> 00:05:40.279
<v Speaker 1>several years, and they're a little bit different form factor

113
00:05:40.399 --> 00:05:43.240
<v Speaker 1>than the standard UV five R form factor from Balfang.

114
00:05:43.279 --> 00:05:46.319
<v Speaker 1>But the UV eighty two HP features dual ban It's

115
00:05:46.360 --> 00:05:50.040
<v Speaker 1>a tripower eight watts on high, four wats on mid power,

116
00:05:50.079 --> 00:05:52.920
<v Speaker 1>and one watt on low. It has an eighteen hundred

117
00:05:52.959 --> 00:05:55.800
<v Speaker 1>million empower battery, so about four hundred million empowers, larger

118
00:05:55.800 --> 00:05:58.040
<v Speaker 1>than the last two radios we spoke about. It has

119
00:05:58.120 --> 00:06:01.240
<v Speaker 1>dual PTTs, so you can key up the top or

120
00:06:01.240 --> 00:06:03.759
<v Speaker 1>bottom band one at a time. It has a toggle

121
00:06:03.800 --> 00:06:07.000
<v Speaker 1>PTT that the switch on the side will toggle back

122
00:06:07.000 --> 00:06:09.680
<v Speaker 1>and forth and you can actually this one here shows

123
00:06:09.680 --> 00:06:11.560
<v Speaker 1>two switches on the side. I think it's been updated,

124
00:06:11.759 --> 00:06:13.920
<v Speaker 1>so the top PTT will key the top band and

125
00:06:13.920 --> 00:06:16.639
<v Speaker 1>the bottom PTT will key the bottom band. One hundred

126
00:06:16.639 --> 00:06:20.360
<v Speaker 1>and twenty eight channels FM radio receive Vox seven hundred

127
00:06:20.600 --> 00:06:24.120
<v Speaker 1>milliwatt speaker on the radio itself and a high gain antenna.

128
00:06:24.439 --> 00:06:26.480
<v Speaker 1>The pros are that it does have the dual PTT

129
00:06:26.639 --> 00:06:30.439
<v Speaker 1>for multiple frequency use, and it's affordable. The cons are

130
00:06:30.480 --> 00:06:33.319
<v Speaker 1>that is not waterproof, it's a shorter battery life, although

131
00:06:33.519 --> 00:06:36.480
<v Speaker 1>not as short as the previous models we've talked about

132
00:06:36.560 --> 00:06:41.480
<v Speaker 1>in this video, and some versions lack a backlit screen.

133
00:06:41.600 --> 00:06:44.600
<v Speaker 1>So like many Balfang products coming out of China, there

134
00:06:44.600 --> 00:06:47.959
<v Speaker 1>are multiple versions of this radio. So the great thing

135
00:06:48.000 --> 00:06:50.720
<v Speaker 1>about Amazon is that they're pretty good about returns. You

136
00:06:50.759 --> 00:06:53.240
<v Speaker 1>can see this one right here says free returns right

137
00:06:53.279 --> 00:06:56.120
<v Speaker 1>thereough for prime overnight free returns. So if you get

138
00:06:56.120 --> 00:06:58.319
<v Speaker 1>something you don't like, just return to Amazon, spend the

139
00:06:58.360 --> 00:07:00.319
<v Speaker 1>money on something else, and go from there. The number

140
00:07:00.360 --> 00:07:04.639
<v Speaker 1>five on the list is a Balfang Tech BFF eight

141
00:07:04.839 --> 00:07:07.240
<v Speaker 1>HP Pro. Now this one is a little bit different. Again,

142
00:07:07.399 --> 00:07:10.319
<v Speaker 1>the numbers are the same. The Chinese have, especially Balfang

143
00:07:10.360 --> 00:07:13.240
<v Speaker 1>has a really bad habit numbering radios that are the same.

144
00:07:13.560 --> 00:07:18.680
<v Speaker 1>The original TYTTCH nine thousand had three different bands it

145
00:07:18.720 --> 00:07:21.319
<v Speaker 1>would work on. It had a monoban two meter mono ban,

146
00:07:21.399 --> 00:07:23.560
<v Speaker 1>two twenty mono ban for forty but they were all

147
00:07:23.560 --> 00:07:26.040
<v Speaker 1>the TCH nine thousand go figure. So this one is

148
00:07:26.079 --> 00:07:29.199
<v Speaker 1>the Balfang Tech. Balfang Tech is a US company that

149
00:07:29.279 --> 00:07:31.199
<v Speaker 1>has their radios made in China, imports them, but they

150
00:07:31.240 --> 00:07:34.279

177
00:08:48.639 --> 00:08:50.840
<v Speaker 1>is going to be a yay Zu. Now, everything we've

178
00:08:50.879 --> 00:08:53.879
<v Speaker 1>talked about so far has been a Chinese radio, Chinese

179
00:08:53.879 --> 00:08:56.600
<v Speaker 1>made radio. Even though Balfang Tech is sold and supported

180
00:08:56.600 --> 00:08:58.840
<v Speaker 1>out of the USA, they're still made in China. Yazu

181
00:08:59.480 --> 00:09:02.240
<v Speaker 1>sells their radios at Yesu. Radios are made in Japan,

182
00:09:02.320 --> 00:09:04.399
<v Speaker 1>and they might have some crossover into China for some

183
00:09:04.440 --> 00:09:07.879
<v Speaker 1>of these lesser expensive models, But last time I checked

184
00:09:07.919 --> 00:09:10.480
<v Speaker 1>Yesu made, they kind of switched everything back to Japan

185
00:09:10.559 --> 00:09:13.360
<v Speaker 1>a while back. This ft X four R is a

186
00:09:13.399 --> 00:09:16.759
<v Speaker 1>five wat dual band HT on the gigabarts website for

187
00:09:16.799 --> 00:09:20.240
<v Speaker 1>about ninety five dollars. The features of this radio is

188
00:09:20.279 --> 00:09:22.720
<v Speaker 1>that it is a tripower. It is five watts on

189
00:09:22.799 --> 00:09:25.759
<v Speaker 1>high two point five watts on medium power, half a

190
00:09:25.799 --> 00:09:28.240
<v Speaker 1>watt on low power. It has a seventeen hundred and

191
00:09:28.279 --> 00:09:31.720
<v Speaker 1>fifty million ampower battery, two hundred channels wide band receive.

192
00:09:31.759 --> 00:09:33.639
<v Speaker 1>It receives from sixty five to one hundred and eight

193
00:09:33.679 --> 00:09:39.840
<v Speaker 1>megahertz for FM broadcast ban rugged design, one watt audio speaker.

194
00:09:39.879 --> 00:09:41.559
<v Speaker 1>The last one we talked about was seven hundred and

195
00:09:41.559 --> 00:09:43.679
<v Speaker 1>fifty mili wats. This is a one wat audio speaker,

196
00:09:43.679 --> 00:09:46.200
<v Speaker 1>so it's going to be a little bit louder to

197
00:09:46.320 --> 00:09:49.440
<v Speaker 1>listen to, and it includes a rapid charger most times.

198
00:09:49.639 --> 00:09:52.360
<v Speaker 1>It has a superior build quality, it's easy to program,

199
00:09:52.399 --> 00:09:55.879
<v Speaker 1>and it's reliable for emergencies. The cons are it's a

200
00:09:55.879 --> 00:09:59.120
<v Speaker 1>little bit higher price, it doesn't have a flashlight. I

201
00:09:59.159 --> 00:10:01.320
<v Speaker 1>don't think that's a con ai that it doesn't have

202
00:10:01.360 --> 00:10:04.039
<v Speaker 1>a flashlight, and it has an average battery life. It's

203
00:10:04.080 --> 00:10:08.279
<v Speaker 1>best for users prioritizing reliability, oh and build trust over

204
00:10:08.480 --> 00:10:11.080
<v Speaker 1>just a cheap Chinese radio. So This is a really

205
00:10:11.279 --> 00:10:14.799
<v Speaker 1>good radio for a beginner. If you're again we're talking

206
00:10:14.840 --> 00:10:17.720
<v Speaker 1>about radios under one hundred and fifty dollars to day,

207
00:10:17.759 --> 00:10:21.159
<v Speaker 1>this one's actually under one hundred dollars. It's big brother

208
00:10:21.440 --> 00:10:23.759
<v Speaker 1>is the Yazoo FT sixty five. Now I have one

209
00:10:23.759 --> 00:10:25.919
<v Speaker 1>of these. I've used it for a while. I actually

210
00:10:25.919 --> 00:10:28.559
<v Speaker 1>did a video a livestream a while back about creating

211
00:10:28.639 --> 00:10:31.960
<v Speaker 1>a win Link gateway that interfaces with this radio. So

212
00:10:32.000 --> 00:10:34.559
<v Speaker 1>it's got some extra features like that that you can

213
00:10:34.600 --> 00:10:38.159
<v Speaker 1>do with It is a very compact and ruggedly constructed radio.

214
00:10:38.759 --> 00:10:41.879

215

<v Speaker 1>point five on mid, and zero point five on low,

216
00:10:44.519 --> 00:10:46.919
<v Speaker 1>just like the FX four. It has a big front

217
00:10:46.919 --> 00:10:49.759
<v Speaker 1>speaker with a one watt of crisp power, just like

222
00:11:02.399 --> 00:11:05.039
<v Speaker 1>A three point five hour rapid charger comes standard, making

223
00:11:05.080 --> 00:11:07.919
<v Speaker 1>the transceiver ready to operate at anytime. Newly to design

263

267
00:13:15.480 --> 00:13:17.919
<v Speaker 1>has been a very popular radio several of us. Several

268
00:13:17.919 --> 00:13:21.440
<v Speaker 1>of us use this radio at the Orlando ham Cation

269
00:13:21.600 --> 00:13:26.120
<v Speaker 1>last February and Daytonhamvention last May to beacon aprs and

00:13:26.120 --> 00:13:29.080
<v Speaker 1>connect to win Link to send win Link emails while

271
00:13:29.120 --> 00:13:32.159
<v Speaker 1>we were at the Hamfest. So very good radio one

272
00:13:32.240 --> 00:13:34.759
<v Speaker 1>hundred and forty eight dollars after my discount, go check

273
00:13:34.759 --> 00:13:37.519
<v Speaker 1>out the Balfang Tech website there. So these are the

274
00:13:37.519 --> 00:13:40.639
<v Speaker 1>top seven radios that I have picked from an AI

275
00:13:40.720 --> 00:13:42.919
<v Speaker 1>list that I got that I didn't agree with one

276
00:13:42.960 --> 00:13:44.960
<v Speaker 1>hundred percent. Again, ninety percent of these were on the

277
00:13:45.000 --> 00:13:47.200
<v Speaker 1>AI list. I got rid of the UV five R,

278
00:13:47.360 --> 00:13:49.799
<v Speaker 1>I added the b Tech and I added one more radio.

279
00:13:49.840 --> 00:13:51.480
<v Speaker 1>Which one is it? I don't know which one did

280
00:13:51.480 --> 00:13:55.120
<v Speaker 1>I add? I added one of them. Some other honorable

281
00:13:55.279 --> 00:13:59.480
<v Speaker 1>mentions could be the Kwan Shane UK five that's been

282
00:13:59.519 --> 00:14:02.279
<v Speaker 1>a popular one, the t I T thh three point

283
00:14:02.279 --> 00:14:05.320
<v Speaker 1>fifty which is still in production and a Triband radio,

284
00:14:06.039 --> 00:14:08.720
<v Speaker 1>and the KG nine thirty five h from walks On

285
00:14:08.799 --> 00:14:13.240
<v Speaker 1>which has an excellent display, very rugged build factor, and

286
00:14:13.440 --> 00:14:15.559
<v Speaker 1>you can has a color display. You can see it

287
00:14:15.559 --> 00:14:17.399
<v Speaker 1>a little bit better than some of these. But what

288
00:14:17.600 --> 00:14:21.200
<v Speaker 1>other radios might you have put on this list? If

289
00:14:21.480 --> 00:14:25.039
<v Speaker 1>you were to do an AI search and read the list,

290
00:14:25.159 --> 00:14:28.360
<v Speaker 1>how might you argue with that list that AI has

291
00:14:28.399 --> 00:14:31.159
<v Speaker 1>given you? Check out the links in the description below. Guys,
