An introduction to the 2 metre Amateur Radio Band - ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW TO GET STARTED!!

In this video I give you a basic introduction to the 2M Amateur Radio Band, on how you can get started on it, the radio and antenna I use and also what you can expect to find on the airwaves.

Hi im nit a troll
Ive a question as to why you needed a repeater for that distance

[@christophersteer505]

Where's the antenna you said you were going to show us, RS.

[@timhague882]

40 to 70 miles eh?, what about my multiple contacts in the 2000 to 4200kms distance?, no repeaters...

[@Lowered_Gadh]

@@timhague882 sir by the way what 400-watt amplifier are you using?

[@pnadk]

Interesting subject but your sound is so bad that I can hardly understand what you are saying.

Good job, keep posting. If you need ideas, visit HamRadioVlog. Happy to help anytime. 73

[@Henryham-g8tmh]

Thank you for the video.
You need to do some more research as 2mts is used for ssb plus other modes.
You have only told half the story.
Thanks anyway.

[@RadioOddities]

No problem yes you are correct 2m is used for SSB but a big portion is used for FM repeater work. 7’3

[@skyace007]

Good grief! Another ham with high speed chattering and an annoying echo. Is that what all of your contacts hear? How about thousands of people listening!
