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
<: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
You can also use hotspots connected to the internet
And there are DMR repeaters in most areas
Is there a reason a phone couldn't take the raw audio and decode it, then generate their own encoded audio output? Aprs has apps like that.
I’m not sure something like that exists, but it could be possible
@uzidead we've got a group of about 14 or so good dudes who get together pretty regular. A lot of conflicting schedules and whatnot.
