Why don't you talk more per person it's so redundant.

Can show us a video of the antenna set up in your car ?

I see in the box to the right of the frequencies it says OFF. What does that mean? What is OFF?

You should be able to unlock it so it opens up all HAM and GRMS by pressing the PTT and # then turn on.

Hola. Tienes el software para este modelo, Ic-V80?

Thanks for this! Made programming manually much easier. I’d been using PC, but had to demonstrate doing this manually for ARES training.

Great video! I just got my very first G90 this past week. I've been using it a lot at home and love it. I really want to try doing a park activation with it sometime soon. I just need to come up with a better antenna for that than what I have right now.

Thank you for the video! It's a decent analog radio. Not quite as sensitive as a superhet, of course, but it gets the job done locally. Feels good in the hand, excellent RX audio. By the way, I could also hear your KXI-41 weather station (162.500) on it all the way up in MKE when VHF propagation was good:)

Stabilize that camera please.

After watching your videos, you are very professional with what you do. As a former Army RTO, you would have been a vital part of our team, kevin. Keep up the amazing work my friend 1-6R on standby:

Nice one well done for persisting there made it all worthwhile - G7VYH

My XYL found this video for me, looking for a nice POTA site to head to for my birthday weekend. The only thing is, I'm not sure if this location is a 4-fer. It is definitely a 3-fer, but all the maps I found seem to indicate that the Lower Delaware River National Wild and Scenic River area stops at Knowlton Twp, which ends a little bit south of this part of I-80. Did you find a map that says otherwise?

I heard you when I was up at US-1001 doing an activation, you were to quiet to work of course being so close together.

What do you think will happen if you transmit 10w near your head?

Bought a second user G90 this week. Amazing intuitive radio. First contact UK to Spain within 10 minutes, 59. Would highly recommend it.

It's a good radio, but stand it next to a Talkpod A36a with identical antennas( either a Nagoya 701, or Retevis equivalent), and watch which stations they receive. The Talkpod gets them all while the Tid does not. 🧐 Fact: the Talkpod has a more sensitive receive section.

This is actually a great tutorial for the V80

Ah the “sport” model with the AA battery pack

Many items have a seal on them and if you break tune seal you lose your warranty. While you can float the stickers and replace them, it really depends on the manufacturer's policies. Perhaps working to identify the parts on the boards. I have the crossed internal swr meter from the same manufacturer and it has a power connector as well but all it powers is the light. I appreciate you taking it apart so i don't have to. We are given one right that other operators don't have, and that is the right to build stuff and put it on the air. Many people choose not to. This hobby is big enough for everyone.

Thanks for the video! I just picked up an ft-100 and the VFO is loose. Do you remember who you sent yours in for repairs? 73, Marc KC3PUJ

I spoke with you that day at the park. Our group had a challenging day activating the park too. One forgot his mic, I forgot my laptop, etc, etc. Oh well. Seven tree.

my control pad won't let me change the offset

3:03, the software I use is RT Systems. After using Chirp and the CPS, RT Systems is outstanding. Numerous things I can do with RT Systems which cannot be accomplished on the other software packages. Yes, RT Systems cost me $24, very well worth the price. YMMV

My same radio SUCKS! I just got it yesterday and maybe I suck at using it but it's terrible so far.

I've got 2 of them,an I think there great,easy to program an works great,for the money you cant go wrong.ive been a ham since 1979,an this is the best deal on ham radio vhf uhf around.no problems at all.KA7GEV 73S 88S😊 MM

You should explain using lumens terms. I'm new to using a radio an came here to get help learning how to program an what settings do what an such

You can switch between HAM and GMRS... mine can do both

Did you have fuses on the short power cord?

I really enjoy your videos. Thanks for sharing. I grew up in Chicago. Go bears hi hi. Ok keep up the great work. KB9JXU

The H8 ver 2 is a great little radio!

That SWR is great!

Kevin, one of the things I’ve learned in my POTA activations is that I can make 100W radio a QRP radio but I can’t make a QRP radio a QRO radio. These days I only take a 100W radio to my activations.

Kevin: Good for you for being patient and activating this park. This summer (2024) some days with the poor band conditions, activating a park has been a real challenge. On August 14, it took me one hour and 37 minutes running 80W at a park in SE Michigan to get 12 contacts and half of those contacts were park to park.

Nice, you finally made it. :)

Thanks for posting. How's it holding up?

I hope you’re not carrying that radio every day. I bought one and it is as deaf as a fence post and doesn’t transmit worth a damn. I sent it back and got my money back. What a piece of crap.

Just got that radio love it. Great to see what it can do as a pota radio.

Super cool. If you go in the evening by 5 PM, way more cooler.

After the Russian and Chinese bombers decided to check out the views in Alaska I have begun planning for communications with my wife should we be apart when SHTF. After almost 2 weeks of research I am buying 2 TidRadio TD-H3 radios as the best choice without breaking the bank.

I'm a newbie to GMRS and ham...I have 2 TID h3's and 2 Ailunce hag1's . With extra batteries and Nagoya 771g antennas,as well as the ear piece mics and separate handheld mics...and I have found a few channels with really good information to help me learn ,and I am very appreciative for them...I also have other means of shtf comms..an old school analog marine radio with all north American and international frequencies and an old school handheld cb radio that I have used with a 6 foot vehicle antenna on a 1 story roof to make contact with a person from Alabama while I was in Coventry CT..but atmospheric conditions were perfect that day...thank you for your time and effort to educate the newcomers into the fold 👍👍.

Kevin you gotta get a headset so you’re totally hands-free. It’s a game changer!!!

I have the same antenna as you. I can hear stations but they cannot hear me. Did you have the same issue as me?

How do you access those blue secondary functions on the keypad?

Great video! Thanks for sharing! Also, when I seen your back yard it automatically brought me back to Chicago 😂. I was thinking that looks like house in the Chicago area because I know there might be an alley on the other side of the garage! Stay safe sir.

I was surprised by that antenna and look forward to experimenting with elevated radials.

Hands down, the BEST simple explanation to manually program the TYT UV88, which is nearly identical to the QRZ-1 Explorer. Thank you so much. Vicki Carnes / AD3i

What is the law or statute in MI that says you can't hang a wire from a tree? I'm not saying there isn't one but I am saying that bullies tend to make stuff up.

Geeks R US. 😊

I bought a 2 pack so far I enjoy the radio.

Thanks for the video. Just bought a 991a and want to use it for POTA. What size battery do you use and what kind of POTA talk time do you get from that battery? Thanks. 73
