Love it. Production doesn’t always mean quality content. I’ve got my technician license, tried 4 times for general 😂. Also picked up a gmrs license. Definitely nice to have options.
I used hamradiolicenseexam.com to study for both my tech and general licenses and passed both with flying colors. It's a paid service at that site, but it works very well, I recommend checking them out
@@Protov0id it's worth it. HF is a game changer, BLOS comms without infrastructure gets exciting quick. Don't get too wrapped up trying to figure out antennas either, just build a simple dipole for 40m off of a cobra head connector and you'll be set, super cheap and super simple
What p25 radio do you use? I have my general and gmrs license. I just put a DMR radio in my truck but would love to have a new, high quality p25 radio for scanning local ems, police, fire. I plan on putting a beartracker 885 in my truck as well. But i like having backups to my backups to my backups.
I actually don't currently run P25. I've had very bad luck getting into the used P25 market 0 out of the 4 radios I've bought worked the way they're supposed to, so I have more or less decided to forego P25 until I can invest in newer gear.
I use a Uniden SDS100, works great on everything except for encrypted of course. It is expensive but worth it if you’re serious about listening for situational awareness in your area.
I do not, for a couple reasons. First is cost. Getting into satcomms typically has a high cost to get the equipment, and then a high cost for the subscription to use the equipment. The second is purpose. One of my primary uses for radios is a backup communication method if traditional comms infrastructure fails or is unavailable. Satellites themselves may be unaffected by whatever is happening on the ground, but those satellites still have to communicate back to servers on the ground, so if those servers are offline too, satcomms won't work. Satcomms has its uses, but it doesn't fit into my needs, at least not yet.
So can the device you just used to leave that comment. This is also why you have different comms plans for with and without rule of law. No one will care if you have a license or not if everything collapses, but before then, not having a license may raise some eyebrows, depending on the circumstances

Great video. If you can, I would love to see one on tye HD2 ... subscirbed.....
That will happen at some point
Do you have satcomms too? I feel like it’s the red headed step child of comms 😂

A licence can be traced

@@resilientcivilian2597 I can understand that.
These devices won't be working after the collapse anyway
@@charliejones7574 what makes you think that?
