  • @d.b.cooper
    @d.b.cooper 3 года назад +17

    This thing really is pretty cool. Was able to use it about a week and a half ago to program a Baofeng HT for a buddy of mine that is currently in a specialized care facility without his normal radio gear. It’s really nice to hear him on the radio again and he says he doesn’t feel so alone anymore. Excellent device for the money.

    I've never wanted to grab a dongle more than I wanna grab that dongle.. But what's even more incredible than that contraption is the fact that they didn't send you one. Before this video they probably sold 6 of these; by this time next week Tidradio will have a new Bentley off the sales of these things.

  • @andrewyoung-n8ary
    @andrewyoung-n8ary 2 года назад +1

    They have indeed updated the available radios. I just bought one for my Baofeng UV-S9 (driver is Radioddity UV5RX3). Same functionality as the “old” UV5R, except it also has 222 MHZ ham band.

  • @djdonbentley2141
    @djdonbentley2141 2 года назад +1

    Your right about problems with the stock programming cables , mine

    This alone would be a good reason to have this device.

    You can drive a wide SUV or a narrow subcompact car; they both drive fine on the superhiway.
    But it makes all the difference in the world if you try a parking lot with the space-lines drawn for Compact Cars!
    The same is true for radio: Narrow works well talking to another radio tuned to Narrow and likewise Wide works well talking to another radio tuned to Wide.

    Thanks, Randy. It looks like I can use my iPhone 12 Pro to program a GMRS radio, at last. Since I retired from two careers and no longer had an IT support staff to fix Windows, I went into the Apple Orchard of products. That's why I haven't purchased a GMRS radio through you yet. I'll wait a bit for an updated version of this wonderful miracle device. The dongle makes me excited. In the meantime, Please do beat the competition and do clip of Wide vs. Narrow band. Please!
