Rid the music.

DMR has the same background music.

Hey there is Kyle KC4ALE! Great ham that I met at Hamcation - Howdy Kyle!

Where can one get that flexible mast that was holding up the end fed antenna?

This was a fantastic QRP! I learned a lot about MeshTastic. And a special thanks to John and Russ for helping me to correctly configure my FT-5d for APRS. -K4ROG

nice

I had a great time! Thanks for the video

I keep saying I am going to attend another one of these outings. One of these days I will actually remember it. The video usually jogs my memory! -KW4G

D-star is one of my choices because it uses 6.25khz of bandwidth and its the only mode you can use on HF band. P25 is the Best mode i believe on VHF and Above because its using CQPSK modulation and the ability of AES256 Encryption.

Only thing ill disagree on is newer analogue radios inc cb are now fitting NRC noise cancellation chips that do same as digital radios remove background road noise abd on rx side,maybe unaware of technology??

nice never knew link to my page at the end and discription :) thumbs up nice video, working on updateing unipager scripts, dapnet to freepbx on hamvoip etc etc

Thanks Russ for covering our event so well. You always do a great job my friend!

Good informative video but the music was a little distracting and unnecessary.

program software avable?

Very cool! Darrell’s ride is coming along nicely.

1:46 Hey my old radio! Nice! Love the magic carpet ground plane!

Not as many people there as in other years ?

RAIN CHECK!🤣🤣

Orlando. A Crime ridden tourist town. Last Hamfest I went to was in Miami when the Dade Radio Club held them and used gear and real good junk was affordable. After the Hamcation Orlando started the local hamfests dried up. And Ebay is keeping prices high but has made stuff available that would not ordinarily be found in a local Hamfest. I dont expect to ever attend Hamcation for these reasons.

73, SP5WWP from the M17 Project

Beginner basic Ht's as door prizes for guys who have been hams for 30-50 years, many extra class?

Great show . Turnout was lite but it was great to navigate around. Good to see Kenwood in attendance . 73 thanks for posting your adventure

So YT failed me yesterday. This did not show up in my subs. Glad I found it! Thanks!

Then they have to lie about 30 thousand attendance's Maby 10 k at the most..

Worst Orlando Ham fest yet. It sucked a lot off overpriced Junk again. 😒😒

You probably could operate digital modes quite successfully on 5 watts. Would save even more on battery consumption & heating.

Very cool to see both sides of what was going on. Thank you for for posting!

Nice video. Job well done.

Well done !!

My Background is CB radio but as I get older Ham Radio would be next progression what about used Equipment for sale

You could Easily spend 1K there on Equipment

It is a way for the Very Rich to get more money! This also lets the have more Sirius Emissions than what is now allowed!

they need a fitness booth there

Thanks Russ for putting all the video together for our event. Great job as always.

Outstanding setup guys! Thanks for the video!

Orders are open again 9/23/23

I appear with my dad in the minute 46:29

*Promo sm*

Good video.

Informative as always!

Great video Russ! Another QRP in the books. Thanks for making these videos so we can remember all the fun we had!

As usual a great QRP for LWRA. 31 folks attending. 11 Stations. That's great day. Thanks Russ and gang. KB4FHP

Thanks, nice report...

Here’s what I would like to know . First off why did the arrl wait to tell us about this until the deadline was almost over. All of the “testing” they did was at significantly lower power . Jim’s video was spot on. Great video , and new subscriber incoming.

Good video. I'm only commenting b/c a tech in Brookswille, FL has a hotspot with this software beaconing "DMR for APRS". Sorry NO. APRS is a cooperative RF network. It does not require Internet, DMR or DSTAR. In Florida APRS (ACTUAL APRS) is used for positioning reporting, WX on route of travel, and even email, with great success. This a is a cooperative network not reliant on the Internet at all. In fact, because its a cooperative network, there is no single point of failure, as with with a hotspot or DMR repeater. or DSTAR repeater. The hotspot software asking Hams to input their position coordinates are worthless. Those "hotspots" just clutter the APRS network with unusable 100Mw "stations". A "Hotspot" is not a station. It's a little bridge to the Internet. Worthless in any Emcomm situation. For Hams in Florida that would like to contribute to APRS, I provide the equipment see www.qrz.com/db/kk4one

My local hams told me they hate D-Star so i went with DMR so I could talk with them. But i quickly found out the limitations of DMR and how it made more sense for a business radio. D-Star fixes all the issues i had, mostly about sound quality, easier to just tell the repeater what zone you want, its like a digital version of “All-Star” … d-star is “best” for me. Now i have to find new friends. 😂

That's a pretty neat little radio!

Nice video!

Great video! Thanks for sharing!
