HAM is more robust than the internet. It should make a comeback among younger people serious about prepping.

It’s just people who like dicking with electronics and prepper/m word types now

Tf you want @yergo

@tacticoolyourjets that ain't mine

Right, but ham is p2p and/or adhoc, and in the case of aprs and other increasingly popular protocols, includes the internet.

And just buying ham capable baofengs doesn't cut it

Digital comms is the future

Get a dual if you can

Digital is pretty tight

Keep in mind that even a baofeng becomes a digital radio with a cable and an Android device.

This video is a good intro to HAM shit

Baofengs have downsides but they're still very useful, especially for beginners.

Yea if its just gonna live on your rig id say its more than fine

Id like one for kit and one for the truck

Can't wait for affordable handheld SDRs running Android though.

Any other discords worth joining? I was in the STALKER discord a while back, but now I'm only in this one

SDR is tight

which stalker one

@tacticoolyourjets what state

I've got an rtl sdr, it's great. You can RX on almost any frequency for $30.

I have the nooelec

It’s bad ass

Any of you guys on DMR

Dmr?

Digital Mobile Radio

It’s one of the big 3 digital formats for amateur

<:atf:564280366781825034>

The only non proprietary one

I've started throwing my rtl sdr and UV82 in my backpack every time I travel now. Could always come in handy, and if i get bored I can always scan the bands.

So much capability in such a small package.

Yea there just neat to have in general

@All UCP Everything I'll have to give it a shot, i never knew what digital modes were widely used. So many acronyms get thrown around. Is it uhf/vhf? Distributed servers?

It’s all vhf/uhf

It’s a big pain in the ass to program at first, but the radios are inexpensive and they have a lot of capability

Is there an Android app connecting Audio to a radio?

@Festive Washington, but I'm not interested in state discords. Been there and done that. We gathered all the chads and left to do our own thing.

what part of the state

because hello there fellow WA fag

Kitsap

Some dmr handhelds have Bluetooth, so maybe

But the digital processing is all done in the radio itself if that’s what you’re asking
