Just ordered a UV-5R 😁

Hell yeah!

I’m going to upgrade my holster to a kydex one then it’s time for the radio

I know nothing about HAM radio so it’s gonna be a learning experience for sure

Yeah. There’s loads of resources on it though. My friend just got one so he can help my dumb self through it

It should be interesting. Are you planning on getting licensed or nah

I am. If only for the educational/liability merits.

Do you have that figured out yet? Gotta be able to do it online I would think

Yeah I’m sure you could. Just google ham radio license and it should give you what you need.

I am in the feng gang but I dont know how to use the damn thing

I figured out how to use CHIRP and have successfully loaded channels

Long shlong antenna

I have one coming on Friday. I’ll definitely be trying to figure it out as soon as I get it

I just leave mine on 462.425 all the time because it's a public channel

It's what me and the boys use for when we do the things

What do you use it for? Just chatting? lol

We don't use them that often tbh

Airsoft lol

Only like two people in my group have gotten these yet

It sucks

They're dummy cheap tho

I need to set up a day to study to get the certification shit

Mine was $20

Eeeeeeeeeeeehhh pfffftt

They can't make me get a license to make air wiggle at high frequency

True

Or however radio works lmao

I'm actually a dumbass btw

But yeah I still don't know all the bells and whistles my unit has

I just listen to Rock 108

I forgot you can listen to fm

Y’all, should I get a uv-5r? Or is there a more high quality affordable alternative?

I bought a uv 5R. I can’t speak to it’s quality yet though

Aight. I know they’re Chinese cheap radios but I feel like I should have something. I don’t know enough about radios to get into a $300 radio

My thinking is for $20, it’s probably a good learning tool

I'm planning on getting uv 5r

With better battery and a few other advantages
