Speaker 1: Hey, before we get started, be sure to head over
Speaker 1: to ham Radio two dot com forward slash email Dash
Speaker 1: sign up to join my email list of over nineteen
Speaker 1: thousand subscribers, where I like to send emails about upcoming events,
Speaker 1: upcoming shopping deals, keep you updated with all the stuff
Speaker 1: going on with my videos. Once that list reaches twenty thousand,
Speaker 1: I will be doing a giveaway of another HF radio
Speaker 1: sign up today and thank you for the support spurrious emissions.
Speaker 1: I got a recent post on one of my videos saying, quote, hint, hint,
Speaker 1: I love that. Hint. Nobody buying these radios parentheses, aside
Speaker 1: from content creators who like to whine in parentheses, cares
Speaker 1: about spurious emissions. Well, guess what we're about to whine
Speaker 1: this one, buddy. Yeah, I'm gonna drink it because it's
Speaker 1: five o'clock somewhere. Not here, but it is somewhere. That's
Speaker 1: pretty good for a cab. What do you know? Okay,
Speaker 1: spurious emissions. I love this. I love this comment. This
Speaker 1: is a fantastic comment. The guy is completely wrong. Of course,
Speaker 1: he's completely wrong. He just wants to argue, and that's okay.
Speaker 1: You know what, everyone has the right to their own opinion.
Speaker 1: I'm not really trying to call this dude out. I
Speaker 1: almost crossed out his name, but you know what, he
Speaker 1: made this public comment on a public video, and I
Speaker 1: replied to him, this was yesterday. This happened. I replied
Speaker 1: to him yesterday, almost immediately after the fact, because I
Speaker 1: got the email. YouTube is supposed to email you about
Speaker 1: the comments, and sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. It's
Speaker 1: kind of one of those things. But anyway, I replied
Speaker 1: to him, and he hadn't. As of the time of
Speaker 1: this recording, he hadn't replied back yet. But hint, nobody
Speaker 1: buying these radios aside from content creators who like to whine.
Speaker 1: And he's right, I am whining right now. That's really good.
Speaker 1: Cares about spurious emissions. And my response to him was, well,
Speaker 1: you should unless you enjoin being trackable by others. When
Speaker 1: you use a dirty radio to transmit, it transmits on
Speaker 1: multiple frequencies at the same time, allowing allaying others to
Speaker 1: find you easier. Have you ever heard of direction finding DF.
Speaker 1: It's called DF in the ham radio world. Direction finding.
Speaker 1: It is a skill that ham radio operators often call
Speaker 1: fox hunting. There's these little micro transmitters. We will hide
Speaker 1: in places and one guy will hide it and then
Speaker 1: everyone else will try to find it. And you can
Speaker 1: use handheld yaggy antennas, or you can drive around in
Speaker 1: your car and this kind of thing. And they heck,
Speaker 1: I used to do that back in the CB days.
Speaker 1: They used to call it cat and mouse. The mouse
Speaker 1: would go hide somewhere, then everybody else would drive around
Speaker 1: and ask him questions, and when he's talking, you can
Speaker 1: kind of direction find where he's going. It's a fun
Speaker 1: project if you've never done it, but direction finding is
Speaker 1: a thing. So in reality, do you think it would
Speaker 1: be easier to direction find you if you're transmitting on
Speaker 1: one radio at a time or on four radios at
Speaker 1: a time, because oftentimes when you are transmitting on a
Speaker 1: dirty radio with spurrious emissions. Spurious emissions basically means, let's
Speaker 1: say that your radio is you've set your radio to
Speaker 1: transmit on one forty six top five to two megaherts, Okay,
Speaker 1: so when you key up and transmit, it transmits on
Speaker 1: that frequency, but it might transmit somewhere around the two
Speaker 1: hundred and ninety to two hundred and ninety two megahertz range.
Speaker 1: Because one forty six times two is two ninety one,
Speaker 1: forty six times three is around four to thirty eight, okay,
Speaker 1: and one thirty six times four is twice two ninety,
Speaker 1: which is like just under six hundred. Right. So, if
Speaker 1: you're keying up on your radio and it's transmitting on
Speaker 1: all four of those frequencies, what do you think is
Speaker 1: happening there? Do you think that it's something that Do
Speaker 1: you think that's a feature of the radio. Do you
Speaker 1: think that it's really going to be a good thing?
Speaker 1: When you're transmitting, and you're transmitting where you think you're transmitting,
Speaker 1: but you're also in like three or four or five
Speaker 1: other areas, do you think that's a good thing. I mean,
Speaker 1: to me, that seems like something that you would not
Speaker 1: want to do, especially if you're trying to bug out
Speaker 1: or hide out or be some sort of clandestine. I
Speaker 1: get comments on videos all the time about how HAM
Speaker 1: radio is not there's no encryption. Ham radio is completely open.
Speaker 1: Everybody can monitor you, everybody can track you. Everybody. A
Speaker 1: lot of guys make the statement of well, I don't
Speaker 1: get a license because I don't want the FCC have
Speaker 1: in my address. Well, guess what the IRS has your
Speaker 1: address already. If you've ever had a water bill in
Speaker 1: your name, or a driver's license or a passport, there
Speaker 1: are agencies out there that have buukuo's more information on
Speaker 1: you than the FCC does. That's a lame excuse. If
Speaker 1: you don't want to get a hand license, then don't
Speaker 1: get a hand license. Okay, cool, don't use as as
Speaker 1: an excuse. Go it's a very lame excuse. Okay, there's
Speaker 1: already information out there on you, especially if you're commenting
Speaker 1: on a YouTube video. YouTube has YouTube and Google has
Speaker 1: all your information already most likely. But even if they don't,
Speaker 1: hopefully you pay taxes or you have a driver's life
Speaker 1: and you're not driving around a vehicle without insurance illegally
Speaker 1: and going to cause EREC because you know that would
Speaker 1: be bad. And don't run into me if you have
Speaker 1: no license in insurance. But if you do have a
Speaker 1: license in insurance and your your stuff's out there already,
Speaker 1: so that that's a thing. I'm not done winding yet.
Speaker 1: But seriously, this is a pretty good comment. This is
Speaker 1: a good comment because it shows that people are unaware
Speaker 1: of exactly what this is. Now there is such a
Speaker 1: thing as being a good Ham radio operator. And one
Speaker 1: of the things that Ham radio, the question pool, and
Speaker 1: the study materials teach you is how to be a
Speaker 1: good steward of radio. You don't actually want to be
Speaker 1: bleeding all over your neighbors. You don't want to be
Speaker 1: causing interference to your neighbors. And if you are, there
Speaker 1: are ways to mitigate that besides just taking your station
Speaker 1: down and giving up. Okay, there are fair ibees, toroys,
Speaker 1: there's grounding equipment. There's always sources and ways that you
Speaker 1: can use to not interfere with your neighbors and the
Speaker 1: neighborhood around you. So there's ways to do that, and
Speaker 1: that's part of being a good hand radio operator. You
Speaker 1: want to use equipment that is clean. Now, some people
Speaker 1: may be like and you might not agree with you
Speaker 1: and say, oh who cares, nobody cares about that? Well,
Speaker 1: people do care about it. You may not care about it,
Speaker 1: But what makes your opinion so much more important than
Speaker 1: someone who does care about it? Okay, and I'm making
Speaker 1: a joke about whining right now, I'm not whining about it.
Speaker 1: I'm telling you why you should care. You should care
Speaker 1: because number one, you can be found a lot easier
Speaker 1: If you're the type of person who wants to go
Speaker 1: out in the woods and transmit and not be found,
Speaker 1: then that's a thing. If you're the type of person
Speaker 1: who doesn't want to cause interference to your wife's touch
Speaker 1: lamp or to a some sort of radio transmitter that's nearby,
Speaker 1: or some sort of receiver, or your the computer speakers
Speaker 1: in your own home, or your kids room, or your
Speaker 1: neighbor's room or your neighbor's house, something like that. If
Speaker 1: you don't want to cause interference like that, then you
Speaker 1: want something with a clean signal. And that's why we
Speaker 1: don't like spurious emissions, because it's harmful or that can
Speaker 1: be harmful. All radio waves can be harmful to a
Speaker 1: certain degree. If you key down on a two thousand
Speaker 1: and wat amplifier on your CBE radio, you're gonna bleed
Speaker 1: all over the place, and that's harmful. Same thing's true
Speaker 1: with a HAM radio. If it's not HAM radio is
Speaker 1: typically a cleaner radio than a CBE radio is typically
Speaker 1: not always, but typically, So you just want to be
Speaker 1: aware of something like that. Now while you're out in
Speaker 1: the field transmitting on hopefully a clean radio. You might
Speaker 1: even want to join a net and if you want
Speaker 1: to join a net, I recommend checking out ham dot live.
Speaker 1: Ham dot live is an online place to meet up
Speaker 1: for net control operators and net control check ins. Check
Speaker 1: in people who wants to check into nets to monitor
Speaker 1: the net, see where everyone is. There's a little chat
Speaker 1: feature that he recently added to that. I interviewed Sean
Speaker 1: on this channel about ham dot live. It's a completely
Speaker 1: free application. It's web based, so it works on any platform, Windows, Linux, Mac, whatever.
Speaker 1: Work on your smartphone. Check out ham dot live. Link
Speaker 1: in the description blow. I'll put a link blow for
Speaker 1: the interview I did with Sean, the creator of ham
Speaker 1: dot live. Also go check that out. If you're involved
Speaker 1: in any type of ham radio net HF VHF local,
Speaker 1: DMR as, system, fusion, over the Internet, whatever, checkout ham
Speaker 1: dot live. It's a really cool tool. So I'd like
Speaker 1: to know. I mean, this guy is being argumentative. In
Speaker 1: my opinion, I think he's being argumentative. I mean, obviously
Speaker 1: he thinks that I'm whining about spurious emissions. And I'm
Speaker 1: not the only one who's ever made a video about
Speaker 1: dirty radios. This this video that I showed you a
Speaker 1: second ago was about the the bail Fang UV five
Speaker 1: r M. And it's just it's just a dirty radio.
Speaker 1: It's just not a very good transmitting radio. Okay, So
Speaker 1: it's going to interfere with other people around you. So
Speaker 1: he's trying to troll me, okay, and whine to you, sir,
Speaker 1: you know, because I mean, really your comment is whining.
Speaker 1: I mean you're whining in the comment section, saying nobody
Speaker 1: cares about nobody cares about this, nobody cares about that.
Speaker 1: If that's not a wine, I don't know what is.
Speaker 1: This is wine that's pretty good for chardonay too. I
Speaker 1: said that already did so. But in reality, you should
Speaker 1: care about it. You should want clean equipment. You should
Speaker 1: want equipment that's gonna last a long time, that's not
Speaker 1: gonna interfere with with your neighbor's equipment. You should want
Speaker 1: equipment that's harder to track from. Okay. You shouldn't want
Speaker 1: equipment that's just dirty, dirty, dirty. So and you can
Speaker 1: get Bowfang radios that are clean. I just picked up
Speaker 1: a bow Fang that's really clean that I'm working on
Speaker 1: a video for right now. So it's not always about
Speaker 1: buying a five or seven hundred dollars icon. Okay, you
Speaker 1: can get Bowfang radios that are clean, you can get
Speaker 1: tid radios that are clean. You can get other types
Speaker 1: of radios that are clean that don't cost several hundred dollars.
Speaker 1: It's totally possible to do that. Okay, But what do
Speaker 1: you guys think? Do you think you care about spurious emissions?
Speaker 1: I mean, do you care? Do you care that your
Speaker 1: radio equipment has spurious emissions? Do you try to use
Speaker 1: radi equipment that does not have spurrious submissions? Do you
Speaker 1: try to get clean signals? If so, tell me why
Speaker 1: you do it. And if not, if you don't care,
Speaker 1: tell me why that is too. I would like to know,
Speaker 1: even if you don't agree with what I'm saying, I
Speaker 1: would like to know what your thoughts are on this subject,
Speaker 1: because it comes up every now and then, you know,
Speaker 1: leaving the trolls aside and the people who claim that
Speaker 1: I'm whining, who are whining themselves, leaving those people aside,
Speaker 1: I'd like to know what the audience actually thinks about spurriy'usubmissions? Good, bad, ugly,
Speaker 1: no one cares right wrong? What do you think? Put
Speaker 1: a comment? Blow and thanks for watching today,
