Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed the content. As far as manpacks are concerned, I guess like any tool it has a place, but I agree with you that it seems to be more about marketing than presenting practical solutions. I subbed your channel, and will definitely check out your video.

@@PartisanCommsGroup You are welcome !

My understanding (and take this with a grain of salt) is, some Baofengs come from the manufacturer programmed to transmit on a limited frequency range. Allegedly, a factory reset may open them up to a wider frequency range (out of the box limited frequency range: 144-148 MHz / 420-450 MHz. Supposedly the factory reset on some radios open them up to 136-174 MHz /400-520 MHz). If true, a use case might be for people who are, or intend to join the MARS program, and need the ability to expand their transmit capabilities. A full factory reset may also be helpful in resolving certain issues, but unfortunately won't fix inoperability issues such as a corrupt image file. Conversely, I've heard that depending on the firmware version, a factory reset won't change the transmit and receive frequency ranges; and will only erase all the memory channels and user settings. The factory reset seems to be hit or miss. Some have reported it works, some say it doesn't do anything, or the factory reset text doesn't appear on the display. My guess is it may be related to the firmware version a given radio has installed.

@PartisanCommsGroup welp mine could access those frequencies out of the box and i bought it last month

Thank you.

The bag in the video is too small for a Toughbook. I have a CF-52, and its too large for the main compartment. But, here is a link to another bag I have that does fit my CF-52, which may be useful to you. Link: a.co/d/dwmJNlk

My OCD helps with that.

They're only asking 10k. The owner said he knows what he has, so no low ballers.

@PartisanCommsGroup they must be from Missouri where a polished turd is priceless. It takes great skill to polish one and not smear it everywhere. 😂

Yeah those are sick wheels T you should get back out there and ghost ride that whip.

That was pretty fast.

​@@PartisanCommsGroupyeah I can't sleep, having a bounty of insomnia.

Cool set up, your audio is a little scratchy but other than that it's good.

Yeah, it was a little windy and the audio was picking it up.

I"m still learning my way around it, but it's my new favorite radio.

It's definitely going to be interesting to watch how it all shakes out.

Real Vets don’t vote for draft dodgers.

Maybe I'll do a live at some point and try to cover general programming questions people have?

Thank you, I'm glad the video was helpful. You shouldn't lose any programming information when doing the factory reset; however, its always a good idea to have it backed up just in case. There are radios like the TIDRADIO H8 where you do lose your programming information when resetting / switching modes, but that doesn't appear to be the case when I reset my UV-5R.

Well I'm not a computer guy, a buddy didn't for me .I have two programed identical maybe I will roll the dice and see what bappens

Out of all the radios I ordered from them, I had a single issue. Which, I think is a small sample size. If I thought the results of this one past exchange were indicative of future outcomes, then I would reveal who it was. But, that wasn't the point of the video. The point was to show people how to do the mod themselves on that particular radio.

Yes, but if you did not want to shine a light on the retailer, you wouldn’t have mentioned that at all and just gone directly into the Mars mod content. I will do no modifications myself and of course want to make sure that it’s done properly with no complications

Thank you, I really appreicate that. Glad you liked it.

You'll need to re-program those back into the radio. You can use the programming software CHIRP, or the TIDRADIO Odmaster software to program the frequencies you want.

Do you mean an image of the circuit board? I beleive there should be one in the video.

@@PartisanCommsGroup Yes, an image. I know the resister is very small and hard to focus but a still shot zoomed in with a phone or camera would really help. Thanks.

At the 5:18 mark there is a photo of the circuit board. I'm not sure if I still have a copy of it.

@@PartisanCommsGroup Thanks but I don't need a pic now. My Yaesu is now a BRICK. Not related to your video though. It was MY fault.

What happened?

Seems to be hit or miss.
