      Baofeng UV-5r accessories.

      Just an update, All but one of the 7 Boafengs I have purchased are still in operation today. The radios I spoke about in my December 2013 post are still plugging along nicely. I have replaced batteries, built a few homemade packs etc. The Radio sitting to my left as I type this was purchased...

      ham radio - ingo emergency frequencies

      YEARS ago, I put together a presentation, can't remember the source of the this information, but it's pretty sound. A quick search and found it on radiofreeq.wordpress.com but I do not recall that being the original source, I'd be happy to reference the original source if someone knows where it...

      Baofeng UV-5r accessories.

      Baofeng 3600mAhr OEM battery I received the 3600mAhr OEM battery I ordered from Amazon. The link is: Amazon.com: Etekcity® 7.4V 3600mAH Li-ion Battery For BAOFENG UV-5R UV5R Double Ultra High Capacity: MP3 Players & Accessories I un-boxed and examined the battery. It does appear to be a...

      Baofeng UV-5r accessories.

      As a "Battery Guy", that video is full of fail. Capacity and Voltage are two totally independent variables. Mister Chung tries to surmise that since there are four cells within the 3800mAhr pack at 3.7V each it's impossible that it could be 3800mAhr since the 3600mAhr pack also has four cells at...

      Bob, Why all the hate? If a Baofeng or Wouxun motivates these folks to get the license and get into the hobby and onto the repeaters, isn't that a benefit to the community? Wouldn't it be a benefit to have more Skywarn trained operators during a severe weather event, even IF they are on...

      Prepper store east side Indy.

      Pudly, Not at all. This class is most definitely the first step. That list is my form response to those who ask about testing. If you were upgrading ie.. from a Tech to a General, #5 would apply.

      For those who plan to attend the HamCram session and plan to take the test, Please be aware of what you need to bring. Since you will be applying for a Government Grant to operate a radio on the amateur radio bands, my team will need sensitive personal information. Rest assured, all this...

      Baofeng UV-5r accessories.

      Car Ramrod, I personally don't use earpieces. I have the one that came with my Baofeng and I purchased one way back for my Yaesu VX-6R. It seems when I put them on, it only take a few minutes for me to take them back off. I was always that weird kid in school with the huge over the ear...

      Baofeng UV-5r accessories.

      Well, This is what I can think of right now. And I tried to put them into MY order of importance. 1: Spare battery is the most important. Having either a 1800mAh or an extended 3600 / 3800mAh battery fully charged on hand to drop in if your current battery dies is invaluable. ( Amazon.com...

      Pudly, Each session will be between 3 to 4 hours.. The more everyone studies before hand, the faster we'll make it through the material. There will be no fee for the class or the testing!

      Ham Radio Recomendations. Radio ideas and local shop?

      AngryRooster, The FT-8900 is not a substitution for a proper HF rig like the FT-857. There is a wonderful and enormous world down there in HF land that the 8900 won't get to. I'm not trying to say that you need to get an 857 right off the bat, however, don't think that it "will do mostly the...

      Ham Radio Recomendations. Radio ideas and local shop?

      AngryRooster, If you are worried about the FT-857d, Don't be.. It's a Great radio. Any of the All-band All-mode radios will cost a bunch to fix. For Example.. I picked up an Icom IC-706MKII in 2011. In early 2012, while hauling lumber (like all good men do in the center console of the car), I...

      Ham Radio Recomendations. Radio ideas and local shop?

      I have a Yaesu VX-6r HT and love it. A good buddy of mine has the VX-8r and loves it. I prefer the more ruggedized platform of the 6r, the 8r is still a remarkably solid radio, it's just my "feeling". In the cars I have FT-8800's and an FTM-350AR for the motorcycle(still haven't installed that...

      First winter with a little one

      Just a Copy/Paste from a previous thread regarding Heat without power.... "I'm sure I'm also late, however, +1 on the Kerosene. I also have a 100% electric house. We have a Heatpump with no backup. We do not have room for a wood stove, and I refuse to install an outdoor boiler. Anytime the...

      Amateur Radio-- Where to begin?

      FirebirdDS, There are a couple way you can dive in. First: Find a Ham in your area and have them "Elmer" you. This is of course the most "personal" approach and depending on your "Elmer" you may or may not learn a bloody thing. It will expose you to the "Hobby" and the equipment and you use...

      Coolest thing you ever won?

      Last fall I bought a Backpack leaf blower from a small shop in town. Apparently, anytime you spend more than $200 at the shop you are entered in that month's drawing. I got a call a month later stating I had won..........A backpack leaf blower. Ohh yeah, anyone interested in a Backpack leaf...

      Communication

      Depending on the scenario CB, Amateur Radio, FRS/GMRS radios (walmart handhelds) etc... will still operate. Since these radios are infrastructure independent (ie..cell towers) they will continue to operate until you can no longer feed them with electrons. That said, a large scale EMP or large...

      What Generator do you have?

      I do have a battery bank with inverter. Currently the Inverter is running in UPS mode for my critical loads less the well pump and sump pump. The Radio room is largely 12 volt anyway. Lighting is 12V fluorescent, Computers have DC-DC power supplies. The inverter is a Xantrex Freedom SW...

      What Generator do you have?

      I should preface my post with a note about how my property is wired. We have three types of circuits: 1-Critical: Well pump, Sump pump, Refrigerator, freezer, Radio room, One outlet in the Kitchen, one outlet in the living room. 2-Non-Critical: Balance of kitchen, Balance of Living room...
