But.. it’s 2023. Could be a 500lb dude on the other end of the radio, 😆 This is definitely a channel to watch going forward. I still can’t figure out why this kid is not THE 2-way / comms UA-cam King..
Stumbled across your channel. My family and I were in 29 Palms for 34 years.. When I was a Marine and then while I worked civil service at the EEAP. We moved to rural AZ in 2019.
I really like my Hyterra. The 256 is nice. Its changed how we use radios because my wife feels comfortable to talk to me without feeling like she's airing it to the neighbors, when I am out walking the dog etc. Unfortunately, sometimes that means I sometimes get recalled home to kill a spyder. I might point my local sheriff to you. I think they are struggling with how to convert to digital.
Beyond happy, I just found this channel got licensed in may and bought a yaesu vx6r tri band banger, ended up landing a FED job and seen dudes using DMR alot and I believe that will be my next purchase not sure of brand yet. But thank you so much for what you are doing and the level of professionalism you have. My dad was stationed at 29 for awhile.....have a good day devil dog
Stellar video man! Enjoyed the knowledge bombs. I really liked the demonstration between analog vs digital as well. Looking forward to taking another class one day. Also recently got my technician license.
Great vid. The exposed contacts on the side of these radios for data or speaker mic is mindboggling, even with the fact it is not disturbed by water or moisture. Makes the design interesting. Your helper has good dispatcher vocals...lots of absolute mushmouths on the gmrs repeaters over here.
So I’m trying to “buy once cry once” on a radio that is going to be able to do everything I need it too do. Which is a bugout radio, something I can listen too/ contact emergency services, capable of encrypted talk with the boys, super durable. Is the hytera HP682 the correct radio?
It does a lot but there is no “one size fits all” solution. That’s like asking for a 10.5” rifle that can do great CQB but also shoot 1000yds. The HP682 is a great choice for what it is
Hey man i like your videos I’m stationed in 29 palms. Would you be interested in linking up and talking to some of the guys. A couple guys including myself are interested in getting our Ham technicians license.
How long does it take to recharge? One of the issues I've had with some radios is they'll have an 8-16hr standby time, but might take 3 days to recharge. Main question I have, the AES-256, is this a hardware crypto engine or is it firmware? And how are the keys loaded, do you need a KVL, or will the laptop running software with a cable handle it? Last question... You mentioned RCR4, which bitrates is it compatible with? I think the TYT UV380 supported up to 128bit RCR4 (still not great)
Correct me if I'm wrong, ARC40 = 40 bit encryption depth? So RC40 wouldn't support 128bits, Yes? There are many flavors (AES, DES, 3DES) of encryption, but AES is an accepted standard, and inherently supports 64, 128, and 256-bit depths. Now Hytera does have a proprietary type of encrypt, along with offering the DMRA standard also for their key algorithm, so they (Hytera) do give you options.
@@nv_nomad RC40 is indeed a 40 bit crypto standard. Back in like 2000, it was possible to bust 3DES-40 in seconds on a dedicated ASIC based decrypter. DES and 3DES have had flaws exposed in them so they're not really preferred at this point, AES has been the dominant standard for at least a decade, and probably will be for a while yet.
This may be a silly question, but is there no concern about the security of this radio as a Chinese product? This question comes from a place of complete ignorance, but it seems that device security would be an aspect to consider for foreign products
Surely always a concern but also something that we have to live with, considering that Chinese components are resident in nearly every major manufacturers radios. To include our iPhones, computers, TVs, etc. If it gives you any confidence in the product, a friend has wiresharked the customer programming software and no errant packets make their way outside the network. The DMR radio itself is limited by its own technology so there is no way to connect back to the internet, etc to “spy” on you. Much greater chance of a Google Home, etc. spying.
Take that question and extend it to the phone or computer you made that comment on. Do you trust that device, despite the much wider attack surface and capabilities for spying on you? The risk associated with the radio is a lot less.
So can you tell me what justifies the astronomical price tag compared for example to the Baofeng DM-1701that that sells for $90, i would argue the build quality, the gps and bluetooth are good enough reason for it to cost 7 times more
I should do a comparison video. Overall quality is better on the Hytera. Also, the Anytones use a Kenwood 2-pin accessory port (which is not guaranteed to protect against water ingress), whereas the Hyteras use a multi-pin screw down connector. Did you hear how crystal clear the voice was in this example? The AnyTones for the most part have issues at range where they drop voice packets and produce garbled audio, especially when you use encryption. Most of the cheapo Chinese DMRs on Amazon suffer similar fate. Their firmware/software is not very well done.
@@MojaveRepeaterthere are many different factors to how a radio performs. Antenna, power, terrain, proper mic use(especially when it comes to vocoders). I’ve seen many tests performed by experienced amatuer radio operators where Anytones are on par with Hyteras in terms of range performance. But you’re spot on about the build quality. Hyteras can definitely suffer a lot more abuse.
Anytone 878's implementation of AES encryption has been shown to be vulnerable. This is due to their implementation using a fixed Initialization Vector. I wouldn't trust their encryption until they fix their firmware.
Any chance you can do a comparison between high end digital radios such as the Motorola PRC153, Harris Unity XG-100, Maxon MDP-6000, or the knock off TRI PRC 152? I had the Harris issued for work and had good experiences with it, but that was back when I knew nothing about comms. Thanks for the videos, this is some good content often overlooked in the "tacticool" arena.
The knockoffs has basically basic analog radio capabilities. Fancy and nice looking, rugged, but it's basically a more powerful baofeng. Don't rely on it, for the same amount you can have a good DMR.
He does have a video on this topic. My recommendation is motorola xts5000. They can be programmed with encryption if they have the module installed and they range from anywhere between 100-300 bucks depending on peripherals included and if pre-programmed.
Good morning, I play airsoft and as you know we use radios for communication between the various teams even if we obviously don't need professional devices. Baofengs are currently very popular and I'm satisfied with them, but I don't like the Kenwood connector because even though they use military-type PTTs, they often get ruined. I would like to try a Motorola type system that attaches with screws, but the prices are too high for me. They told me that Hytera uses the same standard, but I'm totally ignorant. Can you recommend a model that has this type of PTT connection, that doesn't cost a fortune and that can be used with the radios we use in this sport (baofeng and midland)? Thanks in advance
I have a couple Ailunce HD1 DMR radio that I use for GMRS. I'm having a hard time finding an affordable 50w mobile that will work with it. Any suggestions?
It should be noted, that 'DMR' is not an accepted (illegal) modulation emission type for Part 95, GMRS & FRS radio frequencies. You can't lose with a Part 90 Commercial license :)
VHF would have a slight advantage in more "wide-open" areas. Think large open areas of farm land like the midwest. The long rolling hills of an apline tundra in in places like Montana, Idaho, or the Dakotas. And sub-tropical desert regions like Arizona and New Mexico. UHF has a slight advantage in wooded areas or areas with a lot of buildings due to it being a little better suited for multipath signal propagation, which is just having the signal bounce off objects in order to reach a reciever. The percieved difference between VHF and UHF on a DMR radio will be relatively small and shouldn't necessarily be the deciding factor when purchasing a DMR radio.
Could the HP602 serve a purpose in a SHTF type situation or less for a small group being you wouldn’t be able to program your radio to communicate with others outside of your group on the fly and more importantly would need a computer to add in channel’s. I’m looking for thoughts from others the hundred bucks between the two would be nice to save.

Nowhere did you bring up a different service. If you want to lose your license and get a visit from Homeland |Security, be my guest. Why do you even bother with a license?
Y'all want to break the law and f up everything for the rest us, have your snit. You want to legally encrypt data on ham bands, get the law changed.
You have no idea what you’re talking about. This is a part 90 radio and I sell part 90 equipment, promote licensing and proper legal use of the radios. Tell me where and when I ever promoted using these on HAM bands?
