Analog radio is awesome, but digital has it's points. Isaac and David discuss how to program DMR radios and why you might want a business license over an amateur license.
I agree with you on nothing is illegal as long as you pay the fee. I’ve said it a hundred times. SBR’s, SBS’s, full auto and suppressors aren’t illegal as long as you pay the extortion fee to the ATF. If they’re illegal they should be illegal, we shouldn’t have to pay a “tax” to exercise our rights.
The only issue with DMR radios is if someone doesn't want you on their repeater, they can "kill" your radio, making your radio non-functional, forcing you to factory reset it. People have been abusing this feature by setting up public repeaters, then when anyone but their friends use the repeater, they do the "kill" command. D-STAR and Fusion are so much better.
When I was in Afghanistan, a lot of the troops used personal GMRS radios to talk to each other on the base. The Taliban was able to listen in and figure out when the radio chatter increased significantly that a VIP was about to visit and they would increase their rocket attacks. The chain of command finally put an end to it.
After the 2011 9.0 earthquake in Japan, wireless data and voice Internet were down. No GPS navigation with google maps or other online maps either. I had my family, including kids in strollers, and our train in Tokyo stopped running. Navigation, communication and transportation were very difficult. We walked far through throngs of people and traffic was stopped.
you should have rob braxman on your show to talk about cyber security free speech and general 1st amendment stuff. big advocate with alot of content and expertise.
FYI: US Army uses HF radios has the E in their PACE plan (Primary, Alternate, Contingency, Emergency) due to the fact that they are highly resistant to jamming and very versatile (Voice and Data)
I love the way you guys produce content. Please keep more videos coming from all ends of the spectrum. From guns to radios to gear and everything else.
Recently picked up the Anytone AT-D878UVii plus and it is by far the best radio I have ever owned. It does DMR very well, does APRS RX and TX for both DMR and Analog, the reach and clarity of dtx and Rx are fantastic, long battery life, and fairly durable.
This is perfect. We just had a sever ice storm in Oklahoma that has left 300000 people without power. It’s been a great opportunity to test my teams coms plan.
I think you are talking about the store and forward feature with the pd900 series radios. They are developing a tier 3 dmr standard that divides the bandwidth into 3 time slots. Hytera also does ip site connect as well as full on tdma for office settings. You can send texts, email, and even voice to text via the IP connect option. They even offer a phone call to radio connection depending on how much you want to pay.
Solid video covering valuable info. If you have your code plug setup. In CPS go to menu and enable fpp. At least on the keypad models like the PD872. You can then edit or change channels from settings in the radio. Good to setup a fpp analog and fpp digital zone. Or you can do it in one. Kind of a game changer for on the fly. Keep up the good work!

Good information, but do you guys stomp all over each other on the radio the way you do here?🤦🏻♂️

Please look into boosting the audio. Thanks.👂👍

Thank you for putting out high quality information for people wanting to broaden their horizons!
I love comms videos from trex!!
No excuses.....they have online tests.
