Great Video Bill! 🤓 Keep up the great work.

How many refills from a 20lb bottle?

Most of the world in emergency operations have switched to Power Poles for connectors. Still a great project!

FM is useful when you are traveling with another car with FM CB, as it has a clearer short range transmission. No skip interference.

GREAT BUILD

Such a great little build. Thank you for sharing.

Loved the video! What a blast from the past. I still have my Team 40 channel in storage. Been thinking we may need that form of communication soon.

Why doesn’t the OPD shut off the tap?

What are the ones that burn for like 10?

I have two DB 20 G's in my cars and they work fine in my area. Obviously they won't have the range of the higher power radios, but with the high power radios there is also a higher price and they are larger in size. If there are repeaters in your area the DB20 will work well. I use a B Tech, GMRSV50-2 in my truck because I want more range in that as I use that for longer road trips. Channels 8 to 14 are locked out on most mobile GMRS radios as those frequencies are limited to 1/2 watt and any mobile GMRS radio I've seen or used cannot be turned down to 1/2 watt.

this nigga don't know how to spell copy

Great review and I totally agree with all your points. I did a review and programming tips for this radio. As a licensed ham operator, I did unlock the radio to use on the 2m and 70cm bands. The radio does great. Just be aware if you unlock the radio, it will wipe all of your presets. Make sure to download to back it up first and then reload it back to the radio after the unlock. Yes the unlock will open up all the GMRS/FRS channels to transmit on. Also note that the power level function on the microphone does not allow you to change the power level when the radio is is GMRS mode. After the unlock, it will then allow you to change power levels. Hope that helps.

I was wondering if it will limit the current if your at max or will it cut off or will it melt?

What is the price?

Superbe

I like the knife not so much the sheath

A GMRS radio that will not transmit on all GMRS channels make this a cute radio that I would not consider buying. Great review, thanks.

I connected mine to a 24 volt solar panel and a 12 volt resistive heater

IIRC, there is a way to unlock that particular radio to transmit on the ham radio frequencies (for those of us that are hams). Does that not unlock the FRS channels also?

Great radio. I bought 2 of those a little more than 2 years ago, for my car and wife's car. We can talk simple and with a couple repeaters on my area.

But why wouldn’t you want the 50 watt midland. Great review thank you

Thanks for the review! I just recently picked up one of these myself and I agree with you, it's a great little radio. Thanks again!

Great video! My only suggestion would be to talk about why you made the V cuts on one end and the stop block is sort of obvious, but more in depth in these areas and what you can do with it would be wonderful. Just some constructive criticism. Thanks for sharing!!

Thanks

Thank You for the review. I bought a DB-40 G about a month ago. I was fairly happy with it. It is pretty basic radio for the money. It output just under 45 watts, which was unexpected. Now the bad. I made a rookie mistake. I had run a coax to the other side of the house for a future antenna. It was not terminated, not shorted, just open. I hooked up that coax instead of my coax hooked to my GMRS antenna (I have been using the radio for a month with zero problems). I keyed down for less than 3 seconds. Smoke pored out of the radio. I opened the radio and the main chip was melted. Any quality radio will fold back the power to save the radio when the antenna port is open. Not this radio. Again, the coax was open, not shorted...I checked. Bottom line, if you have any problem with your coax or antenna, this radio will roach itself. Not an ideal thing as it cooked itself so quickly. Even with a SWR meter in line, if there was a problem, your radio would be toast before you could hardly realize there was a problem. Radioddity promptly sent me another radio, so kutos to them. Be very careful and be sure to check your coax/antenna on a regular basis. For the asking price, this radio should have high SWR protection. It does not. Buyer beware. Given what happened to my radio, I would not buy one if I knew how easily this radio will fry itself.

Good video. What did you use for a 12 volt source may I ask? I wish someone made a wall worth with a cig lighter plug in that would work so I could use a mobile GRMS radio in my house. I ha e my license and have had for about four months now and have a great wouxan radio HT.

My head gets pretty warm in my current helmet. I wonder how hot this helmet gets when the lithium battery catches fire?

The smell comes from d-limonene which can be purchased as a cheap solvent and I imagine makes a great Firestarter that's less volatile than naphthalene or hexane.
