8
00:00:25.480 --> 00:00:28.600
<v Speaker 1>sign up today and thank you for the support. It

9
00:00:28.760 --> 00:00:31.519
<v Speaker 1>is the end of hunting season twenty twenty four. We're

10
00:00:31.559 --> 00:00:36.000
<v Speaker 1>actually into twenty twenty five. Today's January third. Yeah, we're

11
00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:40.719
<v Speaker 1>in the third day of January. And throughout this hunting

12
00:00:40.759 --> 00:00:43.759
<v Speaker 1>season and in hunting seasons in the past, you know,

13
00:00:43.759 --> 00:00:46.399
<v Speaker 1>I'm out here in the field. That's my Buddies camper

14
00:00:46.439 --> 00:00:50.960
<v Speaker 1>because mine's in the shop. Watch my video about all

15
00:00:50.960 --> 00:00:53.159
<v Speaker 1>the Forest River problems I've been having on my other channel.

16
00:00:53.520 --> 00:00:56.359
<v Speaker 1>We've been here opening weekend of hunting seasons usually the

17
00:00:56.399 --> 00:00:59.439
<v Speaker 1>first week in November in Texas at least for rifle season.

18
00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:02.640
<v Speaker 1>Been here off and on almost every weekend for the

19
00:01:02.719 --> 00:01:05.799
<v Speaker 1>last two months. Not quite every weekend, but almost every

20
00:01:05.840 --> 00:01:08.200
<v Speaker 1>weekend for the last two months. And throughout that time

21
00:01:08.560 --> 00:01:13.000
<v Speaker 1>I have used a variety of HT radios for different

22
00:01:13.079 --> 00:01:18.799
<v Speaker 1>bands on GMRS on Ham Radio two meters two twenty

23
00:01:18.879 --> 00:01:22.159
<v Speaker 1>four forty some six meters, and I wanted to show

24
00:01:22.200 --> 00:01:24.680
<v Speaker 1>you guys what I used this year, what I consider

25
00:01:24.760 --> 00:01:27.280
<v Speaker 1>to be the best field radio for the end of

26
00:01:27.280 --> 00:01:31.040
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty four going into twenty twenty five. The best

27
00:01:31.079 --> 00:01:33.920
<v Speaker 1>field radio. If you just lose it, if you drop it,

28
00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:35.879
<v Speaker 1>run over it with the truck, drop it in the lake,

29
00:01:35.959 --> 00:01:38.280
<v Speaker 1>if it gets rained on, if it gets left outside

30
00:01:38.280 --> 00:01:40.680
<v Speaker 1>at night, something like that, It's not gonna be a

31
00:01:40.760 --> 00:01:43.719
<v Speaker 1>huge loss because we're not talking about the ICOMID fifty

32
00:01:43.760 --> 00:01:47.680
<v Speaker 1>two Anniverse re edition or the Kinwood THHD seventy five.

33
00:01:47.719 --> 00:01:49.560
<v Speaker 1>We're not talking about a five to seven hundred dollars

34
00:01:49.640 --> 00:01:52.840
<v Speaker 1>HT here. This is what I consider to be the

35
00:01:52.879 --> 00:01:57.040
<v Speaker 1>best options for HT in the field. Something that is

36
00:01:57.439 --> 00:01:59.000
<v Speaker 1>you want to take care of because it's got a

37
00:01:59.040 --> 00:02:00.760
<v Speaker 1>lot of features and you're gonna to spend your hard

38
00:02:00.760 --> 00:02:03.400
<v Speaker 1>earned money on it. But if push comes to shove,

39
00:02:03.959 --> 00:02:06.400
<v Speaker 1>it's a little bit more disposable than a five hundred

40
00:02:06.400 --> 00:02:12.400
<v Speaker 1>dollars HT is. So let's take a look now. Today's

41

<v Speaker 1>video is sponsored by Ham Radio Prep. If you don't

47
00:02:30.199 --> 00:02:32.520
<v Speaker 1>Ham Radio Prep for sponsoring the channel. All right, this

48
00:02:32.599 --> 00:02:34.919
<v Speaker 1>is the six hts we're going to talk about today.

49
00:02:35.240 --> 00:02:38.560
<v Speaker 1>I've got these arranged here in order from least expensive

50
00:02:38.960 --> 00:02:42.919
<v Speaker 1>to most expensive. Now, these last two right here are

51
00:02:43.000 --> 00:02:45.400
<v Speaker 1>kind of debatable for whether it's something you actually want

52
00:02:45.400 --> 00:02:47.560
<v Speaker 1>to take into the field, because these are this is

53
00:02:47.560 --> 00:02:49.199
<v Speaker 1>two hundred dollars and this is about two hundred and

54
00:02:49.199 --> 00:02:51.159
<v Speaker 1>twenty dollars. So if that's too much for you to

55
00:02:51.199 --> 00:02:53.800
<v Speaker 1>take into the field, you might want to discount those two.

56
00:02:53.840 --> 00:02:56.000
<v Speaker 1>But the rest of these, but these two add something

57
00:02:56.039 --> 00:02:58.280
<v Speaker 1>that the rest of these don't. So we're gonna talk

58
00:02:58.280 --> 00:03:00.120
<v Speaker 1>about all of those right now, one by one, and

59
00:03:00.159 --> 00:03:02.919
<v Speaker 1>starting with the least expensive. This is the b Tech

60
00:03:03.400 --> 00:03:08.919
<v Speaker 1>bf F eight hp Pro. It actually says Baofang on it.

61
00:03:08.919 --> 00:03:12.199
<v Speaker 1>It's on Btech's website. It's also on It's listed on

62
00:03:12.240 --> 00:03:15.639
<v Speaker 1>Amazon as a Bao Fang radio, but it is upgraded

63
00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:18.520
<v Speaker 1>by b Tech. It holds more channels than your standard

64
00:03:18.560 --> 00:03:22.080
<v Speaker 1>a UV five R. It's got a little bit sleeker

65
00:03:22.080 --> 00:03:25.599
<v Speaker 1>looking design and bfier looking design than the UV five R,

66
00:03:25.759 --> 00:03:28.280
<v Speaker 1>and it will do two twenty. Now, out here in

67
00:03:28.319 --> 00:03:30.599
<v Speaker 1>the field where I'm at, there are repeater There are

68
00:03:30.639 --> 00:03:33.879
<v Speaker 1>four forty repeaters that I can easily hit with an HT.

69
00:03:34.400 --> 00:03:37.159
<v Speaker 1>There's a two twenty repeater about I don't know, I'd

70
00:03:37.159 --> 00:03:39.479
<v Speaker 1>say five miles as the crow flies that ways, but

71
00:03:39.560 --> 00:03:43.520
<v Speaker 1>that repeater antenna is up one thy fifteen hundred feet

72
00:03:43.599 --> 00:03:46.280
<v Speaker 1>something like that, way up ro high. You can easily

73
00:03:46.319 --> 00:03:51.319
<v Speaker 1>key that repeater from multiple places. And this local four

74
00:03:51.400 --> 00:03:56.039
<v Speaker 1>forty two six hundred repeater is the Bridgeport Club. Depending

75
00:03:56.039 --> 00:03:58.439
<v Speaker 1>on where you stand on this dearlyast property, you can

76
00:03:58.560 --> 00:04:01.479
<v Speaker 1>key that repeater. There's another there's a two meter repeater

77
00:04:01.520 --> 00:04:05.000
<v Speaker 1>in Tacona. There's a couple of two meter repeaters in Buoi,

78
00:04:05.080 --> 00:04:07.039
<v Speaker 1>which is the closest large town to where I am

79
00:04:07.120 --> 00:04:09.800
<v Speaker 1>right now. But this is a great HT. Now. One

80
00:04:09.840 --> 00:04:12.400
<v Speaker 1>thing I'll say about every one of these hts today,

81
00:04:12.479 --> 00:04:17.040
<v Speaker 1>every one of them are USBC chargeable. The reason I

82
00:04:17.160 --> 00:04:20.800
<v Speaker 1>chose these radios over some others is because all of

83
00:04:20.839 --> 00:04:23.680
<v Speaker 1>them are gonna be USB C chargeable. And the great

84
00:04:23.680 --> 00:04:26.000
<v Speaker 1>thing about USBC chargeable when you're in the field is

85
00:04:26.360 --> 00:04:29.279
<v Speaker 1>I have the charging brick video that came out not

86
00:04:29.399 --> 00:04:32.639
<v Speaker 1>too long ago. So I have two or three of

87
00:04:32.680 --> 00:04:34.720
<v Speaker 1>those bricks with me here in the field. One of

88
00:04:34.759 --> 00:04:36.399
<v Speaker 1>them I carry in my pack all the time, one

89
00:04:36.399 --> 00:04:38.079
<v Speaker 1>of them I keep in the truck, and a couple

90
00:04:38.160 --> 00:04:40.399
<v Speaker 1>of them I just carry in my hunting pack. So

91
00:04:40.480 --> 00:04:42.800
<v Speaker 1>I usually have at least I also have two or

92
00:04:42.839 --> 00:04:44.839
<v Speaker 1>three battery boxes every time I come out here, so

93
00:04:45.279 --> 00:04:48.720
<v Speaker 1>I have a plethora of ways to charge anything that's

94
00:04:48.839 --> 00:04:52.920
<v Speaker 1>USBC my phone, my bluetooth, theter pieces, my radios, my

95
00:04:53.000 --> 00:04:55.639
<v Speaker 1>camera that you're watching right here. My Osmo action camera

96
00:04:55.720 --> 00:04:58.480
<v Speaker 1>is USBC chargeable right there. So I always want to

97
00:04:58.519 --> 00:05:01.240
<v Speaker 1>have something that's USBC. And all of the radios we're

98
00:05:01.240 --> 00:05:03.879
<v Speaker 1>going to talk about today are USBC chargeable or at

99
00:05:03.959 --> 00:05:06.279
<v Speaker 1>least the batteries are. Some of them. The radios are chargeable,

100
00:05:06.480 --> 00:05:08.240
<v Speaker 1>some of them the batteries are chargeable. This one's the

101
00:05:08.240 --> 00:05:11.240
<v Speaker 1>batteries chargeable comes with it in the factory. This one's

102
00:05:11.279 --> 00:05:13.680
<v Speaker 1>about sixty five dollars from b Tech. I'll put a

103
00:05:13.720 --> 00:05:15.639
<v Speaker 1>link in the description below for this and everything else

104
00:05:15.680 --> 00:05:18.199
<v Speaker 1>we talk about today. The next one is also from

105
00:05:18.240 --> 00:05:21.040
<v Speaker 1>b Tech. And now this one I have had for

106
00:05:21.399 --> 00:05:24.959
<v Speaker 1>about shoot, I don't know, seven eight years. This is

107
00:05:25.000 --> 00:05:28.040
<v Speaker 1>the UV five x three. This looks like a bow

108
00:05:28.160 --> 00:05:31.000
<v Speaker 1>Fang UV five R radio. Okay, it looks just like

109
00:05:31.040 --> 00:05:33.959
<v Speaker 1>a UV five R. The difference between this and the

110
00:05:34.040 --> 00:05:36.240
<v Speaker 1>UV five R, of course, is the five x three

111
00:05:36.279 --> 00:05:39.120
<v Speaker 1>also carries two twenty. You can see a very familiar

112
00:05:39.160 --> 00:05:42.279
<v Speaker 1>looking screen there with one forty six five to two

113
00:05:42.279 --> 00:05:44.800
<v Speaker 1>on the top band and two two four two hundred,

114
00:05:44.839 --> 00:05:47.439
<v Speaker 1>which is the repeater I told you about a second ago.

115
00:05:47.519 --> 00:05:50.240
<v Speaker 1>That's one thousand and fifteen hundred feet up. I've got

116
00:05:50.240 --> 00:05:53.160
<v Speaker 1>the extended battery on it. Now. This is the extended

117
00:05:53.160 --> 00:05:55.120
<v Speaker 1>battery for the UV five R, but it fits the

118
00:05:55.120 --> 00:05:57.399
<v Speaker 1>five x three because these is the same form factor,

119
00:05:57.720 --> 00:06:00.000
<v Speaker 1>and I've got the try band Nagoya and Tenna on it.

120
00:06:00.120 --> 00:06:02.680
<v Speaker 1>So while the radio itself is only about sixty five dollars,

121
00:06:02.759 --> 00:06:05.800
<v Speaker 1>the upgraded triband antenna because it comes with two intennas,

122
00:06:05.839 --> 00:06:08.199
<v Speaker 1>one dual band one two twenty. I don't like having

123
00:06:08.240 --> 00:06:10.639
<v Speaker 1>two antennas for three bands. I like having one antenna.

124
00:06:10.800 --> 00:06:13.839
<v Speaker 1>The upgraded extended battery that you see here. So this

125
00:06:13.879 --> 00:06:17.399
<v Speaker 1>one right here is a newly released USB C battery.

126
00:06:17.399 --> 00:06:19.720
<v Speaker 1>You can see the USBC charging port right there on

127
00:06:19.759 --> 00:06:22.560
<v Speaker 1>the bottom of the battery. The previous battery had a

128
00:06:22.720 --> 00:06:25.399
<v Speaker 1>round modular port over here on the side, and it

129
00:06:26.199 --> 00:06:29.560
<v Speaker 1>would plug into a USBA connection. But this one here

130
00:06:29.639 --> 00:06:32.839
<v Speaker 1>is USBC chargeable extended battery, and I've had that. Like

131
00:06:32.920 --> 00:06:34.759
<v Speaker 1>I said, I've had the radio itself for more than

132
00:06:34.800 --> 00:06:37.199
<v Speaker 1>seven or eight years. Still goes strong. I pretty much

133
00:06:37.199 --> 00:06:39.120
<v Speaker 1>only use it in this environment. I take it with

134
00:06:39.160 --> 00:06:41.199
<v Speaker 1>me hunting every year, and I use it a lot

135
00:06:41.240 --> 00:06:44.199
<v Speaker 1>because the two twenty repeater nearby is a good repeater

136
00:06:44.279 --> 00:06:50.160
<v Speaker 1>to use. CAC five HWB testing very quiet into the repeater,

137
00:06:50.399 --> 00:06:53.639
<v Speaker 1>great signal. Not much activity on this two twenty repeater,

138
00:06:53.720 --> 00:06:57.600
<v Speaker 1>but when the internet is up on this tower, it's

139
00:06:57.639 --> 00:07:00.000
<v Speaker 1>down on the whole tower at the time of this recording, unfortunately,

140
00:07:00.360 --> 00:07:02.800
<v Speaker 1>But when it's up, this repeater has all Stars, so

141
00:07:02.800 --> 00:07:04.720
<v Speaker 1>I connect it to my all Star system. I just

142
00:07:04.759 --> 00:07:06.800
<v Speaker 1>really like using two twenty. There's a couple other two

143
00:07:06.800 --> 00:07:09.160
<v Speaker 1>twenty repeaters in the area, but this one right here

144
00:07:09.240 --> 00:07:12.040
<v Speaker 1>is great. So this is one of the reasons why

145
00:07:12.120 --> 00:07:14.360
<v Speaker 1>I bring this radio to the Hunting Lease every year

146
00:07:14.680 --> 00:07:17.040
<v Speaker 1>is because of the two twenty aspect of it. This

147
00:07:17.160 --> 00:07:19.759
<v Speaker 1>next one here is the UV ninety met This one

148
00:07:19.759 --> 00:07:21.720
<v Speaker 1>I've had for several years. Also. This one is one

149
00:07:21.800 --> 00:07:23.600
<v Speaker 1>hundred and fifty nine dollars at the time of this

150
00:07:23.680 --> 00:07:27.319
<v Speaker 1>recording at by two Way Radios dot com and these

151
00:07:28.000 --> 00:07:30.120
<v Speaker 1>over at Better Safradio dot com. They were the first

152
00:07:30.120 --> 00:07:32.160
<v Speaker 1>ones to introduce them, but I think everybody has them

153
00:07:32.199 --> 00:07:35.319
<v Speaker 1>now as well. These are UV nine batteries for all

154
00:07:35.360 --> 00:07:37.360
<v Speaker 1>the UV nine series walks on radios that are now

155
00:07:37.439 --> 00:07:40.839
<v Speaker 1>USPC chargeable on the bottom here too, So I've upgraded

156
00:07:40.879 --> 00:07:45.040
<v Speaker 1>all of my radios TOV to this new battery with

157
00:07:45.079 --> 00:07:48.399
<v Speaker 1>the USBC charger. Like I said, everything's USBC we're talking

158
00:07:48.399 --> 00:07:51.079
<v Speaker 1>about today. I've got this one sitting on Simplex right

159
00:07:51.120 --> 00:07:54.319
<v Speaker 1>now one forty six five to two case five HWB

160
00:07:54.399 --> 00:07:56.199
<v Speaker 1>on one four sixty five two. You might have heard

161
00:07:56.240 --> 00:07:57.759
<v Speaker 1>that behind you because I have another radio on that

162
00:07:57.839 --> 00:07:59.839
<v Speaker 1>right there. This one will do about ten watts for

163
00:08:00.199 --> 00:08:02.040
<v Speaker 1>I did a review on this radio when it was new.

164
00:08:02.199 --> 00:08:04.560
<v Speaker 1>I've also had this one for six seven, eight years

165
00:08:04.600 --> 00:08:07.040
<v Speaker 1>something like that. I use this at the Hunting Lease

166
00:08:07.040 --> 00:08:10.120
<v Speaker 1>a lot because it's orange. More than one time I've

167
00:08:10.199 --> 00:08:13.160
<v Speaker 1>dropped this when walking to a deer stand or walking

168
00:08:13.199 --> 00:08:14.839
<v Speaker 1>back from a deer stand, and a friend of mine

169
00:08:14.920 --> 00:08:18.000
<v Speaker 1>has found it driving or walking down the same road

170
00:08:18.079 --> 00:08:20.639
<v Speaker 1>later that day. Because this is orange and it shows

171
00:08:20.720 --> 00:08:23.600
<v Speaker 1>up so well. So if you are the type of

172
00:08:23.600 --> 00:08:26.160
<v Speaker 1>person to drop something or leave it laying somewhere and

173
00:08:26.199 --> 00:08:28.879
<v Speaker 1>you're losing stuff all the time, this orange color really

174
00:08:28.879 --> 00:08:31.040
<v Speaker 1>does help when you're out in the field. This is

175
00:08:31.040 --> 00:08:34.360
<v Speaker 1>one of my favorite radios, this one here. Now, I

176
00:08:34.399 --> 00:08:37.000
<v Speaker 1>don't know if this is true today, so don't go

177
00:08:37.080 --> 00:08:38.519
<v Speaker 1>quote to me on this. I don't want to get

178
00:08:38.600 --> 00:08:40.519
<v Speaker 1>anyone in trouble. I don't want to make anyone mad.

179
00:08:40.679 --> 00:08:42.960
<v Speaker 1>But this was one of the original UV ninety mates,

180
00:08:43.039 --> 00:08:45.720
<v Speaker 1>and this is full open transmit, So this one will

181
00:08:45.720 --> 00:08:48.799
<v Speaker 1>work on GMRS frequencies. I'm not saying you should do that.

182
00:08:49.639 --> 00:08:52.279
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying you can do that if you choose to

183
00:08:52.320 --> 00:08:55.480
<v Speaker 1>accept your mission, which is to get a GMRS license.

184
00:08:55.519 --> 00:08:58.840
<v Speaker 1>Get a GMRS license, and then this one will work

185
00:08:59.039 --> 00:09:02.519
<v Speaker 1>for him radio and GMRS frequencies, or at least i'm

186
00:09:02.519 --> 00:09:04.159
<v Speaker 1>told that it will. I meant to say I'm told

187
00:09:04.200 --> 00:09:06.559
<v Speaker 1>that it will work on GMRS frequencies. I'm not sure.

188
00:09:06.600 --> 00:09:10.799
<v Speaker 1>I haven't actually tested it myself. This next one is

189
00:09:10.840 --> 00:09:13.559
<v Speaker 1>a b Tech UV Pro. Now this one's fairly new.

190
00:09:13.600 --> 00:09:16.919
<v Speaker 1>This one just came out earlier this year. They did

191
00:09:16.919 --> 00:09:19.360
<v Speaker 1>some They did some beta firmware for it for a

192
00:09:19.399 --> 00:09:21.279
<v Speaker 1>full T and C packet, and then the full T

193
00:09:21.360 --> 00:09:24.679
<v Speaker 1>and C packet firm where the kiss TNC firmware was

194
00:09:24.720 --> 00:09:26.840
<v Speaker 1>released about a month ago at the time of this recording.

195
00:09:27.000 --> 00:09:29.879
<v Speaker 1>So that means you can bluetooth this to a device

196
00:09:30.159 --> 00:09:33.120
<v Speaker 1>like an Android tablet or phone. You can use APRS

197
00:09:33.200 --> 00:09:35.200
<v Speaker 1>droid with it, you can use packet with it. You

198
00:09:35.240 --> 00:09:37.840
<v Speaker 1>can send you can bluetooth it to a laptop and

199
00:09:37.919 --> 00:09:40.519
<v Speaker 1>send win Link messages over two meters if you have

200
00:09:40.559 --> 00:09:43.759
<v Speaker 1>a two meter iGATE or a win Link gateway that's

201
00:09:43.799 --> 00:09:45.440
<v Speaker 1>near you, you can do that with it. You can

202
00:09:45.519 --> 00:09:48.639
<v Speaker 1>do APRS with it has built in APRS. You can

203
00:09:48.679 --> 00:09:51.639
<v Speaker 1>program this from the app on your phone. It'll do

204
00:09:51.679 --> 00:09:53.679
<v Speaker 1>a lot of extra different stuff like that. About one

205
00:09:53.720 --> 00:09:55.919
<v Speaker 1>point sixty five at the time of this recording, BTech

206
00:09:55.960 --> 00:09:59.480
<v Speaker 1>sent me this radio, and this is virtually the same

207
00:09:59.559 --> 00:10:02.559
<v Speaker 1>radio as the VGC versions like the N seventy six

208
00:10:02.679 --> 00:10:05.360
<v Speaker 1>hundred or something in seventy six maybe something like that.

209
00:10:05.559 --> 00:10:07.480
<v Speaker 1>But I emailed BTech and I was like, Okay, tell

210
00:10:07.519 --> 00:10:10.360
<v Speaker 1>me all are these radios exactly the same, And they

211
00:10:10.399 --> 00:10:12.639
<v Speaker 1>gave me a list of reasons why this one is

212
00:10:12.679 --> 00:10:15.879
<v Speaker 1>in fact not the same as the VGC. This one

213
00:10:16.000 --> 00:10:19.799
<v Speaker 1>is a Part ninety certified radio, so it is full

214
00:10:19.799 --> 00:10:23.360
<v Speaker 1>open transmit legally, so you can use it on GMRS.

215
00:10:23.759 --> 00:10:26.240
<v Speaker 1>Whether that's legal or not, that's a little bit still

216
00:10:26.360 --> 00:10:28.639
<v Speaker 1>up in the air. I've been reading some conflicting stories

217
00:10:28.639 --> 00:10:31.120
<v Speaker 1>about that recently, and maybe I'll do something about that

218
00:10:31.159 --> 00:10:34.039
<v Speaker 1>again soon, do another video about that soon. But regardless

219
00:10:34.080 --> 00:10:36.320
<v Speaker 1>of that, a lot of your radios used on GMRS

220
00:10:36.360 --> 00:10:39.759
<v Speaker 1>these days are Part ninety radios, Kinwood Part ninety radios,

221
00:10:39.919 --> 00:10:42.559
<v Speaker 1>Motorola part ninety radios. Whether it's good or bad, right wrong,

222
00:10:42.559 --> 00:10:44.559
<v Speaker 1>I'm not saying, I'm just saying that's what happens. This

223
00:10:44.600 --> 00:10:46.879
<v Speaker 1>one is a Part ninety radio, so it's a full

224
00:10:46.879 --> 00:10:49.399
<v Speaker 1>open transmit on two meters and four to forty just

225
00:10:49.399 --> 00:10:51.600
<v Speaker 1>a dual band radio. The UV nine and D Mate

226
00:10:51.639 --> 00:10:54.919
<v Speaker 1>was also just a dual band radio, USBC charging battery

227
00:10:54.919 --> 00:10:58.679
<v Speaker 1>in the back, Android and iOS programmable a Kiss T

228
00:10:58.799 --> 00:11:01.279
<v Speaker 1>and C to connect it to your laptop to do

229
00:11:01.320 --> 00:11:05.919
<v Speaker 1>stuff like win Link APRS APRS droid and which enhances

230
00:11:05.919 --> 00:11:08.639
<v Speaker 1>a lot of APRS features. And at one sixty five today,

231
00:11:09.039 --> 00:11:11.320
<v Speaker 1>that might be a little bit pricey for a field radio,

232
00:11:11.600 --> 00:11:14.080
<v Speaker 1>but you know, for all the features it packs in there,

233
00:11:14.120 --> 00:11:17.039
<v Speaker 1>and for all the extra stuff it does, especially being

234
00:11:17.039 --> 00:11:19.279
<v Speaker 1>able to connect win Link and APRS, I think this

235
00:11:19.360 --> 00:11:22.120
<v Speaker 1>is a good choice for field radio. This next one

236
00:11:22.120 --> 00:11:24.840
<v Speaker 1>here is also fairly new. This one's one nine nine.

237
00:11:24.879 --> 00:11:27.840
<v Speaker 1>This is the new any Tone D one six eight

238
00:11:28.320 --> 00:11:31.559
<v Speaker 1>dual band DMR radio. Now, if you're not into DMR,

239
00:11:31.879 --> 00:11:34.120
<v Speaker 1>you probably don't you probably don't care about this. But

240
00:11:34.159 --> 00:11:37.879
<v Speaker 1>if you are into DMR, this is a fantastically priced,

241
00:11:38.320 --> 00:11:41.840
<v Speaker 1>full featured, fully packed radio, smaller than the D eight

242
00:11:41.879 --> 00:11:45.159
<v Speaker 1>seven eight UV two plus. This one is us USBC

243
00:11:45.360 --> 00:11:48.840
<v Speaker 1>programmable and chargeable on the body of the radio, not

244
00:11:48.960 --> 00:11:51.000
<v Speaker 1>on the battery, but on the body of the radio.

245
00:11:51.039 --> 00:11:52.720
<v Speaker 1>I did a video about this. You can go watch

246
00:11:52.759 --> 00:11:55.480
<v Speaker 1>that and get more information about this radio. That same

247
00:11:55.879 --> 00:11:59.240
<v Speaker 1>that same tower that has the two twenty antenna over

248
00:11:59.279 --> 00:12:02.480
<v Speaker 1>there also as a DMR repeater connected into the Texas

249
00:12:02.519 --> 00:12:05.080
<v Speaker 1>state wide DMR network that I can easily hit from

250
00:12:05.159 --> 00:12:08.080
<v Speaker 1>this DMR HT anywhere on this hunting lease. So I

251
00:12:08.200 --> 00:12:11.480
<v Speaker 1>enjoy using DMR at this location, and this is the

252
00:12:11.559 --> 00:12:13.799
<v Speaker 1>radio that I've been carrying this season because of that,

253
00:12:13.960 --> 00:12:17.240
<v Speaker 1>because I still enjoy talking on DMR sometimes I can

254
00:12:17.240 --> 00:12:20.759
<v Speaker 1>get a fantastic signal into that the Rosston repeater. It's

255
00:12:20.799 --> 00:12:23.320
<v Speaker 1>the Roston Tower I'm talking about. And this is the

256
00:12:23.360 --> 00:12:25.639
<v Speaker 1>only radio we're talking about today that does DMR. So

257
00:12:25.639 --> 00:12:28.840
<v Speaker 1>if DMR is interesting to you, even DMR simplex, this

258
00:12:28.919 --> 00:12:30.919
<v Speaker 1>might be a great choice for a field radio for you.

259
00:12:31.200 --> 00:12:34.519
<v Speaker 1>One of the cheapest, most feature packed DMR radios on

260
00:12:34.600 --> 00:12:37.360
<v Speaker 1>the market today. Not the cheapest DMR radio on the market,

261
00:12:37.559 --> 00:12:39.960
<v Speaker 1>but one of the most feature packed radios. The last

262
00:12:39.960 --> 00:12:41.679
<v Speaker 1>one today we're going to talk about is the Walks

263
00:12:41.720 --> 00:12:44.480
<v Speaker 1>on Q ten H. I almost didn't add this one

264
00:12:44.519 --> 00:12:46.879
<v Speaker 1>because it is two hundred and twenty dollars, so it's

265
00:12:47.159 --> 00:12:51.279
<v Speaker 1>it's not really what I would categorize as a throwaway radio.

266
00:12:51.840 --> 00:12:53.919
<v Speaker 1>The thing it brings to the table is you can

267
00:12:53.960 --> 00:12:57.559
<v Speaker 1>get it in different colors. It comes in red obviously, green,

268
00:12:57.639 --> 00:12:59.679
<v Speaker 1>blue and black I think are the other colors. So

269
00:12:59.720 --> 00:13:01.519
<v Speaker 1>it's all so much easier to see if you drop

270
00:13:01.559 --> 00:13:02.879
<v Speaker 1>it in the field or something like that. If you're

271
00:13:02.879 --> 00:13:04.759
<v Speaker 1>out in the field in the woods right now and

272
00:13:04.840 --> 00:13:07.200
<v Speaker 1>you drop your radio, you can definitely see it as

273
00:13:07.200 --> 00:13:09.960
<v Speaker 1>you're walking by. So this one is a quad band radio.

274
00:13:10.080 --> 00:13:12.360
<v Speaker 1>It will do not only two meters and for forty,

275
00:13:12.399 --> 00:13:15.320
<v Speaker 1>but two twenty like I said before, and also six meters.

276
00:13:15.600 --> 00:13:18.080
<v Speaker 1>This is the only six meter HT in the lineup today.

277
00:13:18.440 --> 00:13:20.480
<v Speaker 1>So if you've got a couple of hunting buddies that

278
00:13:20.519 --> 00:13:22.919
<v Speaker 1>are hams and you guys really want to get out

279
00:13:22.919 --> 00:13:25.559
<v Speaker 1>on a channel that no one else is on, you

280
00:13:25.559 --> 00:13:27.840
<v Speaker 1>can get on five to two dot five two five

281
00:13:28.120 --> 00:13:32.000
<v Speaker 1>the fmsimplex calling frequency for the six meter amateur radio band,

282
00:13:32.240 --> 00:13:34.799
<v Speaker 1>and you guys can have the frequency basically to yourselves.

283
00:13:34.840 --> 00:13:36.720
<v Speaker 1>It doesn't get used a whole lot. I like to

284
00:13:36.759 --> 00:13:38.919
<v Speaker 1>monitor that frequency when I'm out here in the field

285
00:13:39.039 --> 00:13:40.440
<v Speaker 1>or when I'm driving down the road. If I have

286
00:13:40.480 --> 00:13:42.720
<v Speaker 1>my six meter rig on, you'll hear activity on it.

287
00:13:42.799 --> 00:13:45.759
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes it's pretty rare, but is it is a cool

288
00:13:45.840 --> 00:13:48.519
<v Speaker 1>band to talk on if you're in close proximity and

289
00:13:48.559 --> 00:13:50.879
<v Speaker 1>you want to have just like a channel that nobody

290
00:13:50.919 --> 00:13:52.879
<v Speaker 1>else is on. Same thing can be said for the

291
00:13:52.960 --> 00:13:56.240
<v Speaker 1>two two three dot five hundred fmsimplex calling frequency for

292
00:13:56.240 --> 00:13:58.960
<v Speaker 1>the two twenty megahertz ban but this one if you're

293
00:13:58.960 --> 00:14:01.720
<v Speaker 1>into six meters, if you've got a nearby six meter repeater.

294
00:14:02.120 --> 00:14:04.120
<v Speaker 1>When I did my first video about this radio, I

295
00:14:04.120 --> 00:14:06.320
<v Speaker 1>had several people in the comment come by and say, Hey, yeah,

296
00:14:06.440 --> 00:14:09.039
<v Speaker 1>I've actually got a six meter repeater near me. Doesn't

297
00:14:09.039 --> 00:14:11.639
<v Speaker 1>get used very much, but if I get this radio,

298
00:14:11.759 --> 00:14:13.840
<v Speaker 1>I might start using it. So that's a good thing

299
00:14:14.159 --> 00:14:16.679
<v Speaker 1>to know about too. So if two twenty and six

300
00:14:16.720 --> 00:14:18.960
<v Speaker 1>meters don't interest you, then two hundred and nineteen dollars

301
00:14:18.960 --> 00:14:20.639
<v Speaker 1>there is probably a little bit too much for a

302
00:14:21.039 --> 00:14:24.240
<v Speaker 1>knocking around radio in the field that has a higher

303
00:14:24.279 --> 00:14:27.600
<v Speaker 1>possibility of getting lost or stolen. But I am including

304
00:14:27.600 --> 00:14:32.000
<v Speaker 1>it today once again. It is USBC programmable and chargeable

305
00:14:32.200 --> 00:14:34.639
<v Speaker 1>on the body of the radio, not on the battery,

306
00:14:34.639 --> 00:14:37.480
<v Speaker 1>but on the body, so and it adds the fourth

307
00:14:37.519 --> 00:14:40.200
<v Speaker 1>band to it, unlike everything else we talked about today.

308
00:14:40.320 --> 00:14:41.720
<v Speaker 1>So what do you guys think about that? What do

309
00:14:41.759 --> 00:14:44.279
<v Speaker 1>you think about those four radios, the ones that I

310
00:14:44.360 --> 00:14:47.799
<v Speaker 1>commonly use them. I've been using this UV pro b

311
00:14:47.960 --> 00:14:51.720
<v Speaker 1>tech quite a bit this season because it's been It

312
00:14:51.840 --> 00:14:54.360
<v Speaker 1>just came out a little while back, and it's that

313
00:14:54.440 --> 00:14:56.279
<v Speaker 1>kiss T and C function is really cool. So I've

314
00:14:56.320 --> 00:14:59.919
<v Speaker 1>been using that, and I've been using this bf FAA

315
00:15:00.519 --> 00:15:02.919
<v Speaker 1>because it has two twenty on it, and then my

316
00:15:03.159 --> 00:15:06.120
<v Speaker 1>and then probably those are probably the most commonly used

317
00:15:06.200 --> 00:15:09.279
<v Speaker 1>radios for myself this year. On top of that, I

318
00:15:09.320 --> 00:15:11.279
<v Speaker 1>have used the five by three a couple times, and

319
00:15:11.320 --> 00:15:13.559
<v Speaker 1>the UV ninety made a couple of times, and then

320
00:15:13.840 --> 00:15:16.440
<v Speaker 1>I did some six meters stuff by myself because there's

321
00:15:16.480 --> 00:15:19.200
<v Speaker 1>nobody's on six meters out here, but could be cool

322
00:15:19.240 --> 00:15:21.080
<v Speaker 1>to a thing to have for six meters if you're

323
00:15:21.080 --> 00:15:23.240
<v Speaker 1>into that sort of thing in your area. What other

324
00:15:23.360 --> 00:15:26.159
<v Speaker 1>radios do you think might fit into this category of Hey,

325
00:15:26.320 --> 00:15:28.799
<v Speaker 1>this is a good radio, it works great, it offers

326
00:15:28.799 --> 00:15:31.120
<v Speaker 1>these features, but if you lose it, you're not gonna

327
00:15:31.120 --> 00:15:33.559
<v Speaker 1>be out five, six, seven hundred dollars like you would

328
00:15:33.559 --> 00:15:36.360
<v Speaker 1>if you lost your high dollar Yazoo or Kenwood HT

329
00:15:36.759 --> 00:15:40.159
<v Speaker 1>What else do you think might be worthy of this list?

330
00:15:40.200 --> 00:15:42.039
<v Speaker 1>Put a comment below. I'd like to know. Thanks for

331
00:15:42.080 --> 00:15:42.679
<v Speaker 1>watching today.
