<v Speaker 1>sign up today and thank you for the support.

9
00:00:28.399 --> 00:00:32.039
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I'm here with Ryan at Armelock Huntsville Hamfest twenty

10
00:00:32.079 --> 00:00:35.280
<v Speaker 2>twenty four and we're gonna tell us So this guy

11
00:00:35.399 --> 00:00:37.840
<v Speaker 2>was at the Houston Hamfest in Texas last When was

12
00:00:37.840 --> 00:00:41.520
<v Speaker 2>that March? Yeah, Yeah, Houston Hamfvest, Yeah, Rosenberg Hanfest and March.

13
00:00:41.600 --> 00:00:44.159
<v Speaker 2>So saw the stuff there for the first time, although

14
00:00:44.200 --> 00:00:45.399
<v Speaker 2>I've had some for a lot longer that.

15
00:00:45.399 --> 00:00:47.159
<v Speaker 1>So we're gonna walk through these today. Thanks for the time.

16
00:00:47.399 --> 00:00:51.079
<v Speaker 3>Sure, no problems. So for any of those that haven't

17
00:00:51.119 --> 00:00:55.240
<v Speaker 3>seen the product before, we design, manufacture, and sell protective

18
00:00:55.320 --> 00:00:57.320
<v Speaker 3>cages for your radios. And we grab a small on

19
00:00:57.399 --> 00:00:59.880
<v Speaker 3>the outs here to show for the camera. Sure, this

20
00:01:00.119 --> 00:01:03.159
<v Speaker 3>is the basis of the product, is protective protective rails

21
00:01:03.200 --> 00:01:06.120
<v Speaker 3>for your radios. Not just the rails on the side,

22
00:01:06.159 --> 00:01:09.120
<v Speaker 3>but it also goes across the top and across the bottom.

23
00:01:09.480 --> 00:01:12.000
<v Speaker 3>It stands past the front to protect your knobs, but

24
00:01:12.040 --> 00:01:14.519
<v Speaker 3>we don't break just knobs off. We also like to

25
00:01:14.560 --> 00:01:18.040
<v Speaker 3>waller out our connectors on the back and pinch our coacts.

26
00:01:18.439 --> 00:01:20.359
<v Speaker 3>So if you take this radio and set it down

27
00:01:20.359 --> 00:01:22.799
<v Speaker 3>on your console and your floor, if you didn't have

28
00:01:22.840 --> 00:01:26.319
<v Speaker 3>the cage, you would be damaging your product or your connectors.

29
00:01:26.959 --> 00:01:29.680
<v Speaker 3>The original intent of the product was down inside of backpack.

30
00:01:30.400 --> 00:01:32.680
<v Speaker 3>Now you go down inside of backpack and only show

31
00:01:32.840 --> 00:01:34.599
<v Speaker 3>the newer one. We'll just jump ahead a little bit,

32
00:01:35.400 --> 00:01:38.879
<v Speaker 3>the seven o five down inside your backpack. You've got

33
00:01:38.879 --> 00:01:41.159
<v Speaker 3>an air gap around the radio, so it helps keep

34
00:01:41.159 --> 00:01:44.280
<v Speaker 3>it cool because your electronics don't like heat. But you

35
00:01:44.400 --> 00:01:48.760
<v Speaker 3>also if you'd relocate your RF connectors and now you

36
00:01:48.760 --> 00:01:51.640
<v Speaker 3>don't have to take your radio out to do your activation,

37
00:01:52.040 --> 00:01:54.760
<v Speaker 3>just screw your coacts to it and off the races.

38
00:01:55.239 --> 00:01:57.480
<v Speaker 3>Some guys in these smaller radios like to run little

39
00:01:57.480 --> 00:02:00.959
<v Speaker 3>whip antennas and in place of their hand top and

40
00:02:01.159 --> 00:02:03.439
<v Speaker 3>say for the for example, like the eight seventeen of

41
00:02:03.519 --> 00:02:05.719
<v Speaker 3>the eight to eighteen as the connector on the face

42
00:02:05.719 --> 00:02:08.000
<v Speaker 3>plate well, I can tell you from experience that if

43
00:02:08.039 --> 00:02:10.120
<v Speaker 3>you run that in your in your backpack and you

44
00:02:10.199 --> 00:02:12.639
<v Speaker 3>hit a couple of tree limbs with your antenna, you're

45
00:02:12.639 --> 00:02:14.639
<v Speaker 3>gonna start to damage. That faceplate in your radio is

46
00:02:14.639 --> 00:02:17.479
<v Speaker 3>not gonna be very happy. You can relocate that onto

47
00:02:17.520 --> 00:02:20.000
<v Speaker 3>the cage and you if you solve that problem. But

48
00:02:20.080 --> 00:02:22.680
<v Speaker 3>with the seven oh five, with our package for this,

49
00:02:23.520 --> 00:02:26.719
<v Speaker 3>if for the guy not carrying in his backpack, it

50
00:02:26.919 --> 00:02:30.840
<v Speaker 3>just folds right over with our battery pack and now

51
00:02:30.879 --> 00:02:32.479
<v Speaker 3>you can prop it up and you can actually see

52
00:02:32.479 --> 00:02:34.000
<v Speaker 3>the screen. You don't have to prop it up with

53
00:02:34.000 --> 00:02:35.159
<v Speaker 3>a bag of chips.

54
00:02:36.639 --> 00:02:37.240
<v Speaker 2>Or whatever.

55
00:02:37.280 --> 00:02:40.639
<v Speaker 3>You have smartphone yeah, yeah, your smartphone, yeah, or have

56
00:02:40.719 --> 00:02:43.120
<v Speaker 3>to continually bend be bending over because the sunlight is

57
00:02:43.240 --> 00:02:44.120
<v Speaker 3>washing out your screen.

58
00:02:44.199 --> 00:02:45.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah yeah.

59
00:02:45.280 --> 00:02:46.919
<v Speaker 3>This is a really cool setup. This is one of

60
00:02:47.000 --> 00:02:50.560
<v Speaker 3>my favorite ones right here. But something that interests us

61
00:02:50.639 --> 00:02:54.039
<v Speaker 3>that was surprising to us is the larger rent frame radios.

62
00:02:54.719 --> 00:02:58.520
<v Speaker 3>We make him for the nine nine and the seventy

63
00:02:58.520 --> 00:03:00.639
<v Speaker 3>three hundred, and this is one of my favorite. But

64
00:03:00.719 --> 00:03:03.719
<v Speaker 3>what we found with from our customers is that if

65
00:03:03.719 --> 00:03:07.719
<v Speaker 3>you ruggedize your radio, you're more likely to get out

66
00:03:07.759 --> 00:03:11.719
<v Speaker 3>and be active because you point you're more confident that

67
00:03:11.759 --> 00:03:15.479
<v Speaker 3>you're not going to break your stuff. So the larger

68
00:03:15.520 --> 00:03:18.919
<v Speaker 3>frame radios are one hundred and ninety five dollars, which

69
00:03:18.960 --> 00:03:21.039
<v Speaker 3>is a lot of money, and we can appreciate that.

70
00:03:21.759 --> 00:03:25.800
<v Speaker 3>But what's a broken multifunction knob on your radio work

71
00:03:25.840 --> 00:03:28.319
<v Speaker 3>to you on an activation? Anything else?

72
00:03:28.360 --> 00:03:28.639
<v Speaker 2>We do?

73
00:03:28.680 --> 00:03:33.520
<v Speaker 3>We relo what I'm talking about, relocating your peripherals, not

74
00:03:33.599 --> 00:03:37.400
<v Speaker 3>just your RF mount, but all of them. This is

75
00:03:37.479 --> 00:03:40.199
<v Speaker 3>just showcasing the different ones. You can do the USB,

76
00:03:40.879 --> 00:03:46.639
<v Speaker 3>your digital input, or your key or external speaker, and

77
00:03:46.680 --> 00:03:49.639
<v Speaker 3>those will fit on any of the radios. The notches

78
00:03:50.039 --> 00:03:52.319
<v Speaker 3>on the cages are all meant for the M lock

79
00:03:52.400 --> 00:03:53.479
<v Speaker 3>T nut type screws.

80
00:03:54.120 --> 00:03:56.560
<v Speaker 1>Now you had mentioned about switching from B and C

81
00:03:56.840 --> 00:03:59.080
<v Speaker 1>to TNC.

82
00:03:58.680 --> 00:04:00.360
<v Speaker 3>We did. We switched to T and C and we'll

83
00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:04.360
<v Speaker 3>check this off and I'll explain why. It's a more robust,

84
00:04:04.759 --> 00:04:08.439
<v Speaker 3>it's more rugged of a connector, it's a little more

85
00:04:08.479 --> 00:04:12.599
<v Speaker 3>water resistant, and being in the field, being camping, we

86
00:04:13.199 --> 00:04:15.639
<v Speaker 3>thought that was an overall good choice. We're not trying

87
00:04:15.680 --> 00:04:17.839
<v Speaker 3>to force people to go to TNC, and we're very

88
00:04:17.879 --> 00:04:20.360
<v Speaker 3>well aware that it's not very common. So when you

89
00:04:20.399 --> 00:04:24.759
<v Speaker 3>relocate with our package, we include a TNC to B

90
00:04:24.839 --> 00:04:28.480
<v Speaker 3>and C adapter. Okay, that's obviously much more common, but

91
00:04:28.519 --> 00:04:31.040
<v Speaker 3>we like to recommend to people, especially on the smaller ones,

92
00:04:31.079 --> 00:04:33.519
<v Speaker 3>and if you're running in a man pack to get

93
00:04:33.560 --> 00:04:36.319
<v Speaker 3>your antenna, get it with a TNC on it.

94
00:04:36.399 --> 00:04:39.480
<v Speaker 2>Okay, all right, man, Well, hey, I'm really glad, really

95
00:04:39.480 --> 00:04:41.720
<v Speaker 2>glad that you guys are starting to come to these shows.

96
00:04:42.000 --> 00:04:43.399
<v Speaker 1>This is the third show up. So you guys were

<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Belton and Houston, both in Texas. Okay, so yeah,
