Thanks for the comment. I do have some great stuff loaded in the chamber, but I'm busy these days building up a creative area after a recent move. Thanks for tuning in, I'm glad I can offer something of value in this space.

@@JACKINSTEIN that's true, in near peer conflict, some of my statements here do not apply

Russia cant even defeat Ukraine so I am highly skeptical of all these reports of insane military tech Russia has. Right now their defense expenditure does not match the reports of tech development. Their political and military situation right now is not as closed-loop as the US, so their capacity for top-secret development is suspect at best. Their situation on the ground in Ukraine is not matching up with rumors of high military tech. Their troops are undisciplined and at times seemingly without direction, their smaller weapons tech is a bit dated, and their naval warfare fleet is HIGHLY dated. They seem to have good airpower, but the Sukhoi SU aircraft are physically large in comparison to similarly capable US planes, which can be a quick glimpse of their level of tech, making advanced warfare tech small is a key indicator of technological advancement. For example, small countries may have nukes but they are absolutely massive in comparison to their yield, which makes them unweildy and difficult to deploy. Who cares if NK can build a nuclear device if they dont have a plane or missile that can carry the payload and drop it/fire it accurately. The US can build high yield nuclear devices which are very small and can be carried with accuracy by any of several delivery systems. Russia is in a similar situation where they have alot of neat tech, but their military infrastructure does not support its use very well

@@bashkillszombies yeah, they aren't the best. TBH primary arms ARD are the best IMO. Inexpensive and nearly invisible to the user

@@based_radio the honeycomb material Tenebraex uses is some sort of carbon material, it does not change the optical clarity of the optic its attached to and stops glint VERY well. Do the primary arms ARDs use the same sort of material or is it plastic?

@@dizzy4303 I don't know the material make up of primary arms ARD, I can simply attest that the optical clarity when using them is the best in my opinion. I say this while having multiple ARDs from trijicon, Aimpoint and OHC. Is it durable? Is it better at absorbing light? I am not certain.

@@knightshousegames I don't beleive there is, but if you contact retevis, they are decent at getting back to me.

If they have FLIR and you don't you're already dead.

@@chasechang3261 send me a DM on IG instagram.com/based_radio?igsh=aDRrOThiNWhsNXhm

@@frankberger7035 I agree, at the time I posted this it wasn't widely known that there is a technology available to detect enemy optics. However, keep in mind that that is also theater specific atm.

This seems to be the case. If you can find the GOCOM version, they should have similar functionality, but they are more expensive. The base radio is the Mt. TAI from Auctus.

I have both antennas, I get better swr with the factory long antenna, but for shorter distances the shot antenna is better to carry around.

Yeah, that sounds like a game changer for sure. When I dropped this vid, that wasn't public knowledge yet. It's definitely something to consider when you are assessing your adversaries.

Uno has the similar form factor, but you can also use arduino copies

It's digital without FHSS, which according to Part 15 is legal. And the FCC has allowed GFSK on ISM, which isn't as efficient. If it was analog, then yes FHSS is required.

@RKingis These are analog and DMR. I was only referring to the analog side, yes the DMR side is fine.

Thanks for the kind words

they haven't unlocked the antireflective perk yet

That's a whole different video. The best defense there will be using NVG compatible optics, and favor passive aiming as opposed to active IR targeting

I think what he means is that you have to cover your helmet lights and any other glass at night because if someone is looking for you with IR or just a plain flashlight then your glass will light up when the light hits it. Think of glowing animal eyes at night when you shine a flashlight on them. In the military that's how you find people in the dark if you are on sentry duty or something. You just sweep a flashlight and you will usually catch their helmet light or ret dot. I like the panty hose idea, I think I'm going to try that one.@@based_radio

​@@stevemontana5974 Yeah that can for sure give you away, a lot of people have nods nowadays.

​@@stevemontana5974 Maybe so but, on the flip side, don't stand beside dude looking for lens flare by shining a white light or IR emitter when things get real.

Thanks for watching! I use "NFC tools" to write the tags. Any android will read them, and some modern IPhones will also read them, although you may need to download 3rd party app.

@@based_radio is nfc tools on windows or android.?

@@marvomatic123 I'm using it on android, but it may be on iOS and other platforms

I'll see what I can do, but it is quite similar to most DMR protocol radios

@@based_radio What is cross band repeat and spoofing?

@@yoseifmichael9058 Crossband repeat uses one band for RX such as VHF and retransmits on another band such as UHF. This way you can confuse or "spoof" direction finders.

Cotre C006D, but sadly it is rarely in stock. It is a rebrand of the Auctus Mt Tai radio.

Neither, just rx, tx and gnd

There is a programming cable, it's just extra.

Thanks for this tip, boss. Was wondering if the shield was out of production as the website appears to be dead.

Not legal to use in the USA without an Amateur Radio license !!!

Based on what? Check out Part 15 ISM.

​​@@blankreganon5395Part15.247 requires FHSS for analog, but doesn't state which digital modulation is allowed. But ultimately, there is no FCC ID, so legal for ham use. Honestly though, unless you're bugging others, I doubt the FCC will do enforce.

Part15 States you can use them in Digital without a license.

​@@brianchapman3041Analog must have FHSS for ISM, but digital doesn't require FHSS. And if the FCC allows GSFK, then DMR should be fine.

Can be used legally in analog as well.

ISM radios can only use analog on FHSS. These radios do not do FHSS so they can not be used as ISM with analog. However, if they are used as ham radios, they no longer fall under ISM and can be used as analog or digital.

​@@blankreganon5395Part 15.247 allows for non FHSS options, however they don't mention what digital modulation is. And noFCC ID.

​@@blankreganon5395You can use them in digital mode. If they allow GFSK on ISM, then DMR should be good as well. Analog must have FHSS, but not digital.

I've heard this before, can you articulate why you think that is the case? I'm genuinely curious.

My understanding is that you only need a license in the analog mode. In digital i dont think you need one. Also, try the motorola 900 mhz. Antennas, they work alot better.

@@RINNTY- 900 MHz band is used by the ham radio community on a secondary basis from 902-928 MHz. That means the operators on that band can use it but must accept interference from other users. Ham radio operators can’t complain to the FCC about interference or unlicensed users. It’s also a band for unlicensed users that transmit at certain low RF power outputs. You might still find cordless phones, pagers, low power walkie talkie users, etc. in use on the band. A ham license is only required if using the band in that capacity.

Not entirely true. The 33cm band has a lot of unlicensed users. There are digital, and analog, hand held radios that use the band and don’t require a license. Low powered ISM devices use the band and ham radio operators must accept interference from other users as its allocated to them on a secondary basis.

​@@based_radioPart 15.247 allows analog as long as it uses FHSS. You can use digital modulation without FHSS, however the FCC hasn't specified which modulation is allowed. Unfortunately, since these have no FCC ID, technically they are not legal to use without a ham radio license.

I totally get what you're saying. However, these being digital already eliminate majority of listeners, and the encryption, while not AES256, is also not voice inversion. Could it be brute forced? most likely. But that is not as easy of a feat as you might think, even for state actors. These have been had to come by for sure. As far as programming encryption, many radios allow for software programming of even AES256 such as Motorola and Anytone, and hardware encryption can be user programmed with a $ 35 arduino shield keyloader. Nothing is foolproof however and good comm discipline always applies. Check out my video on the arduino keyloader by Omahaa comms

@@based_radio I did check out Omaha Communication, unfortunately the Arduino shield is listed as out of stock on their sales page. I will try to contact them on the 31st of July to see what the deal is. It’s been out of stock for quite some time with no mention of restocking. I thought the GiHub site for the 'full version' had a detailed schematic and Gerber files for the unit that the Chinese are selling which from all reviews is a total ripoff piece if $hit. Hope I get some favorable answers from OC.

You need to program them via the free software from Auctus.
