@HedgehogOutdoors they use radio direction finding and can pin point you… like tracing a phone call, the longer you talk the closer they can come in to your vacinity….
You just need to get some micro-tiny allegator clips for that meter. har-har
@modoc42 thats the ticket!
@SoCalPreppers It is illegal to TX on a non-HAM channel with a part 97 (amateur radio) unless you are part of the Military Affiliated Radio Service or civil air patrol organization with their permission. Emergency cases like imminent death or loss of property, all bets are off and transmit away. Dont know the exact FCC rules but its there in the rule book when it comes to emergencies. Part 90 radios are the PD,FD,EMS services and business. Nice detailed vid, got a VX7, too much $ for the 8.
@SoCalPreppers And what would the punishment for something like that be?
Nice work–I would love to have one of those radios.
were did you get it
My friend does this kind of work at home. Only guy who could fix the pot to my OLD Peavey effects unit. He has a Bi scope kind of thing, like a doctors tool. Stereo Microscope mounted adjustable bench arm for adjusting over the table. Great work man. F-16 Jet ring testing and development.
who cares if its illegal
Cool video Mr Electrotechno wizard, lol. Take care bro.
Sure hope the warranty was expired on that VX8, because it is now.
@NoMoWires nope was brand new outa the box when I did this… I can replace that resister easily if I need to… been doing this stuff my wole life. no problem!
@92Scalloped yea i didnt have any wick and I was gonna go to the store to get it just for this one tiny job… thanks for watching bud…
@SoCalPreppers I wish you well. We had a guy do the MARS / CAP on a YASEU and had to send it in. ,He replaced the SMT part on the board, but they declined the warranty claim. He disputed and when he talked to the Warranty Manager they told him that MARS/CAP Mods are the first thing we look for. People overheat adjacent components or short connections out all the time. So we have gotten wise” End Quote So if you gotta put it back, I hope you can solder like a Robot .Lets hope its not needed!
@ThePauperPrepper LOL… point taken, I guess Ill nope it doesnt break then… Im good at the skill but not robot precicise.
thanks for the advice sir.
Socal, I certainly hope that you of all guys doesnt have to find out. I must say again, you take advice and comment better then most anyone on You Tube. I commend you for that. So many go “insta-defensive” like they are less a man bevcause they didnt know something, or were slightly off base. You NEVER act like that. And for that Sir, I do commend you. BTW BIG kudos for going straight to EXTRA, WELL DONE.. Now back to working on my M17 Med Bag, wonder where I got some ideas on that project from?
@ThePauperPrepper I know good advice nad a considerate remark when i see it… no worries bud, thanks for looking out for me. and keep your fingers crossed that my radio doenst take a shit on me LOL… take care brother.
i got a question what type of tobacco do you roll up with im starting to role my own and i cant rind a tobacco i like
@dirtydq1992 funny you should ask, I quit smoking yesterday, but I used “bugler” tobaco… i didint for the mostpart roll my own, but rather used it when i was too lazy to get off my ass and go buy more…
Im feeling pretty good abou not having to deal with that BS any more.
Im sorry if I missed it but I see you opened more channels to receve on, Can you also transmit on the channels?
@enok45 the radio is capable of transmitting on the newly opened up frequencies. Ill just say it that way 🙂
@SoCalPreppers good luck with the quiting i have tried like five times and its damn near impossibe and im only 20
and i just bought a pouch of bugler the other day its the best i have had so far
@SoCalPreppers What is the site that you found the mod on? I am interested in trying it my VX-8DR. Thanks, Great Videos.
