Today I will share with you my goal zero nomad 7 solar in a can ham radio system. More goal zero videos here: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLks71j5Ag…
@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.
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”.
i bought a FT-8900 for my first radio. I know also have a VX-8R. need to go
get my general.
whoever didnt know this stuff, shouldnt of passed an exam.
Great voice and commentator! well done. 73
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
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. .
It has a dial thing and a detachable thingy. I did not know I could drive
at home. Voice operated?? The VHF Frequency Band?? At EXPERT VILLAGE, I am
the EXPERT LID, seventy thirds.
@CBKillas Damn, ya 30 miles is def. an impressive distance. Thanks for the
reply
@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.”
@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.
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.
Is your dual bander a CT 79? Looks like a nice rig!
@bben95 because at the begining he says, congratulations… you’ve passed
your test.
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.
Thanks for showing, People like you are important, for taking the time to
instruct the proper way. you ought to teach classes in this feild. from P

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