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
So idk much about radios but issac botkin of trex arms just did a live video and said to check out these
Sweet, I’ll have to check it out
The jsa8 radio idk anything about it but he said the capability is worth looking into
Yeah that’s where I don’t know enough yet to know what to look for in a good radio
They still got the cheap boys
<@&673212566465675264> I know most of you still need comms\
Im now 2011 Toyota Camry LE
Do we have a designated operating channel?
How do you mean?
Has someone done the analysis of the available freqs and chosen one for us to operate on?
In the event other comms go down
Me and my boys have been using I think 452.425
I may be wrong on that
I was wrong, it's 462.425
@CTRL+Pew ^^^
Thanks. Probably wont be to relevant unless im buggin. Im to far away for my poor chicom radio to pickup.
Yeah same
I got some boys that live near me and we're gonna try to set up a little network
Yea as soonas the uv 5r 8 watts are back in stocm imma buy one
Anyone have a link to a good radio
BaoFeng BF-F8HP (UV-5R 3rd Gen) 8-Watt Dual Band Two-Way Radio (136-174MHz VHF & 400-520MHz UHF) Includes Full Kit with Large Battery https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00MAULSOK/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_i_FQJFEbSEPBJ8R
What are you guys' thoughts on this radio?
I have 2, they are good for the price
Awesome. My bank account is never going to recover from buying prepping gear but it's ok
Lol liquid funds are good but in this day and age the dollar depreciates fast
