🎙Welcome to the channel, come in the shack and hangout with me. I'm known as JoeBrett in the UA-cam world. I enjoy making videos of my radio adventures that range from being live while making contacts, reviewing radio products, or just bringing you along while I work on something in the shack and share with you. Most of all I do this because I'm having fun and I hope you are as well.

UV-K5 A36plus Unnamed AirBand | Which one would you favor?| Ham Radio
Переглядів 7018 місяців тому
I decided to sit down and record air traffic on 3 different brand HT's in the budget range that advertise having AM Air Band receive. Some of these radios are horrible at it out of the box, some do decent, and a community of programmers have help fixed some of it with new firmware, and a viewer suggesting simply a slight frequency shift.

Great job! That's gotta feel great going through all that. Lots of fun stuff in your collection. 73 Mike N4FFF es Becky N4BKY
Thanks Mike and Becky! Coolest straight key couple I ever met! 😎 considering how good it felt just getting the floor clean, I look forward to getting the rest done lol.
@@K5YVY Great meeting you as well!
I feel your pain brother I moved in the my wife’s old quilting shop and a whole lot of her quilting stuff old sewing machines so I am having to do my thing in the middle of her stuff but I have made it work but I can’t spread out like I need to… I am beginning to think we are both hoarders lol
I think you may be right, but choose wisely when to have that conversation lol. Thanks Larry!
Hysterical video!
Thanks Jay! Had lot of fun editing this one.
When I initially started watching this is almost felt like a parody.. but it took a serious turn and while watching got me looking at my shack .. I too need to take a deep dive and go through all that i have inherited from my dad, what I've purchased and used and what I've purchased, built, thought about building and just haven't used or finished. thanks for sharing your struggle.
Same here! My plan was to record a simple video showing before and after…then it got more difficult than I intended. I still have a lot to go through.
well done video, well edited! The next hurdle is Gear Acquisition Syndrome… GAS..
Yes next hurdle…just back from Huntsville…needless to say I got more sorting to do lol. Thanks Ken!
Hi, my name is Hayden and I’m a ham shack hoarder ✋
Hi Hayden, we are glad for you to be with us, please tell us a little more about yourself. 🤓
This made me laugh, now you can get back to not making videos...
Right! I’m thinking I like the cinema producing better. Good shows/movies take time to produce, and I’m all about taking time till the next one. 🫶
Outstanding............. and so real.
Thank you Doug, and yes it was so real.
Great video!!! One question though, was that a custom photo as your welcome screen on your 7300? How did you do that, did you make a video on it?
Thank you Shawn! The image you’re asking about is on my 705. The 705 gives you an option to load an image to display in start up. I was hoping they would add the option to the 7300 one day with firmware but I don’t guess they will.
well done and it looks better, i know the feeling. The big thing your lovely lady is willing to help. 73 from VK1
Thanks, and yes the lady is a big help lol.
Joe nothing better than getting organized!! Hey having a wife that will go out there help you out is great! Enjoyed the video!! 73!!!!
I agree with that, been meaning to tackle it for a long time, still a lot to go through still. The wife actually loves these kind of challenges lol.
Congrates on the tranformation. Having only been the hobby for only a few short years, I can understand how easy it is to keep stuff that you think you'll need in the future. For me, I have to really think things through when considering the purchase of any new piece of gear no matter how small it may be. As someone who has a small space carved out in the livingroom, I always try to keep myself in check. So, what I decided do at the outset, is that whenever I buy soemthing new, I get rid of anything I no longer use no matter how I feel about its future use and as for organizing, all my radios are mobile and mounted in 6U a rack mount case for that I can pull whatever radio I need for Field Day or any outdoor even and pack it in a Apache case. This with the help of a Walmart shelf and plastic containers, I'm able to manage it fairly well. In short, I try to be a ham radio minmalist, if there is such a thing.
Whoa, first I congratulate you for having the strength of mind to accomplish that, second I may need to hire you to manage my shack lol. 😎
Amazing content. Great to see a husband and wife team work so well together. She's a keeper for sure. In fact, you may have out kicked your coverage on that one. I've just added to your subscriber count. Keep em' coming.
Its hard to do because as you find those forgotten parts, you recall the idea or project that you bought them for...an totally censor the fact that you haven't done anything with it.
Damn, after that opening, i feel i need a sponsor. Humor can hit hard!
🤣 I may need to create a support space
The best radio video I've watched in a while. Prayers up!
Thank you Scott!
do it joe! almost brung a tear to my eyes as i looked around my shack in deep thought of cleaning it up...saying to myself dam you joe dam you ill just build moe shelves.. lol love the video
lol sorry butterbean!
I could go this way if i didn't actively clean and tell myself that i wont use than in 6 months.
I just got off the phone with the producers of Honey Boo Boo and they would like to talk to you about a series
🪀🫶 thank you for hook up , please copy my appreciation!
Best video I have seen in ages! 😂
Thank you much Mike!!
congratulations! nicely done and Noel is a blessing. I had to declutter to move and almost had a nervous breakdown.
Thank you Ken😎
And the award for best HAM Radio Video of the Year goes to....."Joe Brett K5YVY"
🏆 thank you Wild hog for this endorsement!
I feel your pain. The room I use for my hamshack/office/gun room/etc needs to be twice the size that it is. The entire perimeter of the room has stuff around it, and there's a huge L shaped desk that juts out into the floor space as well. Our hobbies quickly turn into obsessions LOL. Great video!
Thank you Sheepdog!
Excellent video sir, what would be do without our wives motivating us to be better men! Kudos to the both of you.
Thank you Dean!!
I absolutely love this video! I'm going to have to show this to the XYL. I think she'll get a kick out of it, too.
Thank you Ralph! It was a fun video to edit 👍
Clearly the size of the ham shack is the issue here. The nerve of someone with a house full of cupboards, closets and probably an attic or basement calling someone else with 8x12ft to work with a hoarder. 🙄
🤣 I guess size actually does matter 🧐
Do you know the difference between a collector and a hoarder? Yeah me neither, I'm not a hoarder...I'm a collector. BUT seriously. I have a rule. I keep things for 3 years. If I don't use them in that time they get donated, gifted, or trashed.
Oh you sound like my wife with that not used in x-amount of years. lol glad you have a management plan plasma. 👍
I'm not sure she gets it, or maybe she's a really good actress.
Hahaha !! Great Vid Man !! 73 de W0ZRK.
Thank you Thomas!
Love this video but you can be sure I dont share it with Trina!
lol thanks Robert!
Great video Joe, you and your wife make great videos, funny too
Thank you Walt, definitely more fun with her participating lol.
Listen to Momma Noel! That lady is a SAINT! A SAINT I tell you! Now don't you feel better?
I do feel better, it’s enjoyable to walk into the shack again lol.
Great job and good editing. You make it look so easy, but it's inspired me to do the same.👍🍺🤠
Thank you DonZ ! 💪
It looks like you are headed to your own Discovery Channel series! Great Video JB! 73
I’m expecting a call from them anytime 😎. Thanks Jeff!
You crushed it, both the video and hamshack.
Thanks Mike! More work to be done, but at least I can walk around in there again lol.
The beginning of this video is giving me real bad anxiety. I just threw up in my mouth. Could I be infected by the ham hoarder disease?
Norm it’s important to keep your head up, stay strong, and know there is evidentially many among us for support. 💪
OUTSTANDING VIDEO!! My wife watched it with me and said i see she lives with a ham horder too🤣73 buddy!
🤣 Thank you David! And thanks to your bride for watching too!
Love your sense of humor, JoeBrett!
Thank you sir Jody!
If you could see the mess of stuff I have accumulated over the past 25 years with different hobbies. This is an inspiration to get my butt in gear to sift through all of it and pair down and sell stuff to build upon my savings and gain space.
George, I’m here to support you man. Reach out if the going gets tough 💪😎
Hi JoeBrett, Noel is a keeper. 🙂 Shack is looking better with her help. Guess you will be putting all that up for sale. You both stay safe. 73 WJ3U
Thank you Don D! Still have plenty to do off the shelves, but I can walk around in there again lol. I will be bringing a few things to Huntsville that I don’t plan on bringing back with me. Maybe I can do some mystery boxes in the next episode lol.
@K5YVY I have the exact same problem....
Evan, pull yourself together and clean up! 😎🤣
Uh, could you ask Miss Noel if she'd like to take a crack at helping me with my storage unit? I'm only ~1,000 mi away.
She loves this stuff!
I feel your pain!
I may have unintentionally started a community 🫣
Yes keeping life and hobbies in perspective
Have to keep a balance right? 😎
@@K5YVY The Rule of 80/20. 80 percent of the time you only use 20 percent of your stuff.
@paulgarcia1566 lol I can agree with this!
As soon as you throw it away; you need it and then have to buy it.
I lost two nice pocket knives that same day! Still haven’t found them! This is what happens.
@@K5YVY Kershaw will gladly take your money for a new one!
Exactly one of the brands I lost🙄
HEY! I'll take that stuff!
lol what one man’s wife labels as trash, is another man’s treasure.
I feel your pain. I've gotten better at getting rid of stuff, but it is still hard. I'm about due to go through the garage again.
Right Tom. Besides being a ham, makes over the age of 35, additionally if their a dad, always has a pile of cords and such somewhere, the ham radio hobby just extensively increases these risk and behaviors lol.
Bravo on this video! Nothing is harder than throwing away that thing you might need one day.
Thank you Ant! Man there’s so much I can’t find now! lol
OMFG What the H you doing son. Don't get rid of anything. You just need a bigger building.
I might have to start gathering pallets and using them to add on lol.
Yep I can see myself doing it😅
