Speaker 3: What's the question?
Speaker 1: The question is what did you see? Buy? Would you
Speaker 1: see that? How did the how did the how did
Speaker 1: the day out APRS thing go. I think the last
Speaker 1: I looked, there was like fourteen or fifteen stations on there.
Speaker 3: It's so easy.
Speaker 2: Can you heard it here first?
Speaker 1: You can't get any easier than that. Yeah, I would
Speaker 1: agree with that statement. So did you buy anything today?
Speaker 1: Let's see, do not buy anything?
Speaker 10: Yeah?
Speaker 1: I bought the hall is over there, so just be
Speaker 1: careful what you say.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 11: So a both the Gigapart's backpack okay, uh, and then
Speaker 11: I got a handful of signal stick antennis Okay.
Speaker 1: The most exciting thing is the mock up though of
Speaker 1: that Kinwood radio. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I agree.
Speaker 11: Well, it's still under glass, so we can't really get
Speaker 11: to it and play with it.
Speaker 1: But it's still exciting to see that radio.
Speaker 2: It absolutely is.
Speaker 1: I was not because out of the new Kiinwood icon
Speaker 1: in Jesu. I think as far as production goes, we're
Speaker 1: gonna see that one last. The icon is here now,
Speaker 1: the seventy seven sixties here now right. The Yazu will
Speaker 1: probably be out in another couple of months. But they
Speaker 1: were saying like end of twenty twenty five before we
Speaker 1: see that Kenwood. So I was surprised to see that
Speaker 1: they had a mock up here. When I was, I
Speaker 1: was happy Tokyo ham Fair, right, yeah, so well, but
Speaker 1: Yaesu had THEIRS at the Tokyo Hanfair and it ain't
Speaker 1: here this week.
Speaker 11: So yeah, okay, maybe that says all about ko.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, I'm trying to hold my tongue. I'm
Speaker 1: just I'm just stating facts here. There's no or political
Speaker 1: correctness involved in this statement. Yazu did not have their
Speaker 1: Tokyo Hanfair radio here. Ken Wood did.
Speaker 2: Yep, That's all I'm saying.
Speaker 1: So that's that's honestly the.
Speaker 11: Most exciting radio that I see coming for twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, the kin would Yeah, I mean the k Yep.
Speaker 7: I'm excited about it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm excited about that one too.
Speaker 6: Yep.
Speaker 11: I don't know ken would bring in a two meter
Speaker 11: mobile radio back to the market with full APRS capability.
Speaker 5: Yes, I mean they don't have anything else in that lineup.
Speaker 1: No, now that they discontinue the seven ten a while back,
Speaker 1: correct and uh, and they don't have they're not making
Speaker 1: any VHF that because I V seventy one has been discontinued.
Speaker 2: They they kind of got out of the game for
Speaker 2: they still have.
Speaker 1: They've had HF radios and production the whole time, but
Speaker 1: they don't have any any two meter for forty mobile radios, right,
Speaker 1: So yeah, no, I'm excited about that too.
Speaker 2: I think you're right.
Speaker 1: That's gonna be a that's gonna be really cool one
Speaker 1: for this year. I want one.
Speaker 3: I want.

Speaker 13: We have an unofficial PODA as a Polo ambassador. The
Speaker 13: official unofficial Polo ambassador is Gray Man over there. Yes,

Speaker 6: Developed a Hampton k Portable logger also known as Polo.
Speaker 13: It's a Android and iOS logging app for portable operations
Speaker 13: for your PODA, Soda uh winter Bunkers, Winterfield Day, phield
Speaker 13: Day bunkers on the.
Speaker 6: Air castles, on the air islands, on the air.
Speaker 7: Bars of the air.
Speaker 6: I want to I want to develop brew is on
Speaker 6: the air.
Speaker 13: That's my next program about Broda, Broda Yeah, yeah, yes, yeah,
Speaker 13: Walmart on the air.
Speaker 6: All of those could be covered on Polo.
Speaker 13: It's it's a free and open source app available in
Speaker 13: all your favorite app.
Speaker 6: Markets, just on just on mobile though, justin mobile for now.
Speaker 7: Four Now. I'm not promising, but I'm promising, not.
Speaker 13: Officially officially exactly Eventually will happen, Okay, not as soon
Speaker 13: as I would love to, but but it will happen.
Speaker 13: You will have it on Windows, Mac and Linux, and
Speaker 13: hopefully I I I would be disappointment. I'll be disappointment.
Speaker 5: I have too much.
Speaker 13: I'd be disappointed in me if I don't get it
Speaker 13: this year. But I have to have it before the
Speaker 13: summer for Windows and Mac and Linux. Good okay, and
Speaker 13: uh and for quso parties and all kinds of other.
Speaker 2: Events, all kinds of dude.
Speaker 6: Yes, no, but there's lots of things to add to Polo.
Speaker 6: Pola is.
Speaker 13: Actually, even if it's the nicest and bestest and fastest
Speaker 13: portable logger out there is still a crappy one that
Speaker 13: has lots of things to get improved and better.
Speaker 6: There's there's tons of things I know that I can
Speaker 6: be that we can be doing better and nicer.
Speaker 1: I need to try to use it because I like
Speaker 1: doing the portable apps.
Speaker 2: I used Hammers for a long time.
Speaker 1: Uh World Radio League that's the one I'm currently using,
Speaker 1: and and they've they they're very active in their development.
Speaker 13: I went to the forum today and I'm I love
Speaker 13: seeing all the logging apps trying to.
Speaker 5: Get better and do better.
Speaker 13: That's that's that's Hammers, That's that's Radio League, that's POLO.
Speaker 13: Because even if there's a long history of good amateur
Speaker 13: radio logging apps, it.
Speaker 6: Was kind of standing.
Speaker 13: It's like it was stayed for for a long time
Speaker 13: and it was time to like shake things a bit
Speaker 13: and add things for portable operations.
Speaker 5: Yes, that had been kind of neglected by everybody else.
Speaker 13: TODA has been a tidal wave of change, and until
Speaker 13: Hammers came out there no one was paying attention for it.
Speaker 1: That's I think that's why Hammers got so popular because
Speaker 1: they were the first one to actually offer a template
Speaker 1: for potus.
Speaker 13: Not just a templar, but they were the first ones
Speaker 13: to come out and say, hey, you can actually do
Speaker 13: logging on your phone.
Speaker 6: Well that yes, yeah, it was that was something that
Speaker 6: was not a thing. So so, yes, there is a
Speaker 6: lot of improvement coming in logging for amateur radio app.
Speaker 1: Good good, Well, I'm gonna have I will download it
Speaker 1: and use it and probably do a video about it
Speaker 1: just because it's you. Yeah, I'm always interested in trying
Speaker 1: to drink. So yeah, you'll drink to that. There you go,
Speaker 1: he's drinking to that. So o, man, Well, did you
Speaker 1: buy anything today?
Speaker 6: I bought some power pull adapters.
Speaker 3: That's it.
Speaker 6: I haven't bought anything else. Yeah, I know there's lots
Speaker 6: of things in my ask.

Speaker 13: very well.
Speaker 1: Very well.
Speaker 13: Yes, and there's been some interesting meshlastic devices I've seen
Speaker 13: around that I want to buy. Not all of them
Speaker 13: are available yet, right, but I I uh that haspiged

Speaker 12: I'm gonna let him think about that overnight. Okay, see
Speaker 12: if he can't reduce his price just a little bit
Speaker 12: for me.
Speaker 1: I went by HRO Okay, they have a really good
Speaker 1: price on the twenty seven thirty A, and I asked
Speaker 1: about the B. I did too, because he told me
Speaker 1: that because the thing I saw on Facebook was that
Speaker 1: they would start shipping on the seventh, which is today.
Speaker 2: Yep, I think it was Richard at Main Trading Company.
Speaker 5: It was Richard.
Speaker 12: I got a little scoop on that. Okay, I don't

Speaker 12: so all the boxes came in. Okay, Richard's got a
Speaker 12: ton of them and he was ready to ship them out.

Speaker 10: made me actually turn my camera on.
Speaker 3: Really yeah, Okay, I was just walking and I'm like,
Speaker 3: I gotta get this.
Speaker 10: So I stopped at Armlock and looked because I'm I'm

Speaker 10: o five bag, Yes, that I can put my seven
Speaker 10: o' five in in an armorlock case a La tech prepper,
Speaker 10: the upright bag.

Speaker 10: rails on the seven o five with the battery, his
Speaker 10: battery and put it into the Icon bag right.
Speaker 1: In the bottom side, in the bottom part. Very nice,
Speaker 1: fold it up and it actually fits in there almost perfect.

Speaker 1: top pocket where you normally put the radio. I'm like,
Speaker 1: that's a great idea, and he said that they're working
Speaker 1: on kind of like an upgrade to that, and so okay,
Speaker 1: so we might get that one day, but for right
Speaker 1: now that might be a great option.
