      Sir, obviously you are not a licensed and certified radio-operator like me or you would realize how wrong you are. Now go do some research and then come back and apologize to my viewers when you see the error of your ways.

    When I didn't have a dedicated mobile in my truck I used a handheld as a mobile. It worked great for getting into my local ham repeater. I was thinking about just getting a mag mount GMRS antenna and getting a battery eliminator for use with my deer camp friends, but I found a great deal on a used 25 watt mobile I couldn't pass up.

    You know with all the people buying Baofeng radios or similar. You would think Baofeng would come out with a radio with end of days, prepping, survivalist, and tactical in mind. Something totally different is needed. Something we don't need a license. Something we can use and stay off of all common channels. Just an idea baofeng, 80% of Baofeng sales right now is by preppers and so on. Thanks for another great video.

    Oh hell yeah the mag mount and jumper are a big game changer its nearly as good as a mobile. Like you said get a good jumper those cheap ones dont last very long even if youre careful. The rg58 coax most of those mag mounts come with is leaky but its not long enough to really matter to be honest.

  • @Blu.86-te1pr
    @Blu.86-te1pr Месяц назад

    So this has one as advantage no one talks about. That is, you can transmit and receive on FRS channels 8-14. Mobile units, by law cannot. Some can listen to those channels, but all cannot TX. I don’t have an off road group or anything, but I travel a lot and leave my radio on scan. When I’m stuck in traffic or just looking to chat, most people out there in caravans or travel groups are using FRS bubble pack radios. Sometimes they have info or can see things I can’t. I want the flexibility of being able to communicate with FRS users AND GMRS users. I’m going to wire up my GM-15 Pro with a battery eliminator and a midland ghost antenna.
