press eight and two for have urine

[dafrickinchicken]

If you press 2 rapidly it sounds like he is saying urine, and if you press 4 it sounds like he says something African.

I like my dual band walkie, I don't use the VOX on it though. Handy to have when out and about and you don't want to drill holes or slap a big ol antenna on a nice new car. thanks

Is your dual bander a CT 79? Looks like a nice rig!

[TheZeke1974]

@outatime1955 They dont know the difference i guess.....

Not suprisingly most ordinary people think CB and Ham are the same. I hear "oh my dad used to talk on his ham back in the 1970s to the truckers." Or "i didnt know people still used ham." and the really good one "I thought they did away with the ham lisense."

Stop mastubating and cut your god damn nails already

[8888888060580]

Stop fucking saying it's a rig were not truckers, black, or cool. radio is more then accepable

I'm curious as to what the maximum range is on the average hand held unit. Any one? I used to have a hand-held CB radio that did pretty well, especially with a little "skip".

[CBKillas]

@jjc032681 A hand held unit for 2 meter I use, can go from Colorado Springs, to Grand Junction, using repeaters. Line of sight on simplex? I have used an FT-50R to achieve up to 30 miles with a little elevation. They really work good.

[jjc032681]

@CBKillas Damn, ya 30 miles is def. an impressive distance. Thanks for the reply

[ilovenbcnews]

it depends on weather you use a repeater or not, and the repeaters coverage area. repeater generally 25 to 50 miles, maybe greater. Simplex on an HT, about 2 miles or so. Range is also a factor in terms of the antenna your using.

[visor109]

That first HT looks like a DJ-580. And if are willing to pay $200.00 to $500.00 to buy it now, plan on going back in time so you can buy it new!

i use my ham radio for a jackstand on my chevy when i get a flat

[redmartian]

I've noticed that on his other videos. Does he really mean Citizen Band? He also mentions 'Broadcasting' a few times, but I thought HAMs are not permitted to broadcast and have strict transmitting practices.

[MagicJohn11]

This is all crap

An HT for a new ham is not a good idea. THey do not have enough power, the atennas are crap and the batteries do not las long enough. ANd the remark about ease of using an HT in a car is a bunch of crap. This is same crap the ARRL has been telling new hams for years. THe best radio for a new ham is a mobile radio for two meters or a dual band mobile for two meters and 440. about the only thing an HT will do is get new hams frustrated and out of the hobby. .

[godzilla74114]

i bought a FT-8900 for my first radio. I know also have a VX-8R. need to go get my general.

[reddy12131171]

Bullshit!!!!!!!!!

[Pugragger]

whoever didnt know this stuff, shouldnt of passed an exam.

[bben95]

@Pugragger why do you assume the people watching this has passed the exam? Maybe they're just interested in becoming a ham and know barely anything about it.

[Pugragger]

@bben95 because at the begining he says, congratulations... you've passed your test.

[spammebaby]

It has a dial thing and a detachable thingy. I did not know I could drive at home.

Voice operated??
