GraveYard Shift BS

That sucks Brian. Sorry to hear that man

 

Me too . Five years waisted.

 

My ride is only like 10 minutes. I plan to get into DMR one of these days, but right now I just have a simple VHF/UHF radio

 

That's what I use 95% of the time. Just my analog radio in my truck. Going for my General now. Man it's been awhile since I've really had to study haha

 

Good luck on the General!

I may try to upgrade later on down the road, but I don't have a whole of interest in the HF stuff just yet. I'm still trying to learn everything that I can do on my Tech lol Been lookin into APRS a little.

 

APRS is kick ass. I use it all the time .


Also helpful for finding hidden repeaters .


The biggest thing I like about the general is that during camping season I have something extra to do at night. Plus, with a little bit of Morse code knowledge you can get a signal cranking out anywhere for cheap . Great for back country emergency situations

 

Heck yeah, that’s awesome. I would like to learn Morse code just because I like learning and it interests me

 

Ditto. It's really not bad at all. I picked up 13 letters at 100% within a couple of weeks. The thing about CW is its narrow band. So instead of |-------------| it's |---|. Which means instead of using all that power to make a fat signal, it stays skinny and uses it to push it way farther . So 50w on voice is.nothing compared to how far 50w of CW can be thrown.

 

That kinda makes sense. That’s pretty cool

 

Tally ho

 

Yo, to your Tally, Hoe.
