The problem woth gmrs isnt fcc rulws, its users who dont comprehend the "nature amd purpose of gmrs" linking, extending the range, is wjat the fcc is trying to prevent. You want longer range go ham.

Cest le fils de monsieur sylvin le professeurs dd ma fille . Cest vraiment triste

Wouldn’t he have carried an In Reach or a PLB?

Well, not a drone that I can get from Amazon. If I relayed or cross banded that locally we might have Orson Well's War of the Worlds.Intel and decimation of information are different things. Alert to possibility and raw traffic are different. If LEO requests additional information then pass this traffic to responders and associated organizations; if not, speculate later. I'm always appreciate your videos and views, 73.

Awesome coverage. This is an ubiquitous global phenomenon of late.

epic. thanks for the post

What date did the Life Flight-Coast Guard traffic take place?

Ohh, good point about bypassing news spin. I had never thought of it that way before.

Snow cat's !!! Artic Rovers !!! What ever it takes !! That's what would have happened 40 years ago .. angegies get so much money and do nothing but skim,steal,etc . NFG !!!

Great real-world testing video. Kudos from Panama (Central America)

Thanks for the update. This is why it’s extremely important to learn back country safety skills if you plan on going any winter mountaineering. Whatever the class may cost is worth it, it just may save your life!

Are you on a REMS?

The Forest Rangers had to rescue a couple cars that went off the road trying to get to the search area. The rangers also staged on the mountain at a base camp for 3 days of searching. NYS DEC posted a video of what the conditions were like on the mountain. It was interesting to watch.

That's sad.

Thank you for the update

Another great video. Awesome to see how far this channel has come. Knowledge is one thing, but being truely passionate about what you are talking about brings this channel to a new level. Keep it coming man, great stuff.

Thank you

Excellent video. I never thought about survival radio before. Thank you.

I really like my TidRadio TD-H3 also I like my /TidRadio TD-H8 Radio

P25, Securenet, and DES XL, and AES are encryption.

I just looked at my antenna on both of my H3's. The yellow ring says, VU 144-435 mhz. So mine does in fact cover, as they say, the 2 meter band. Barry

I just got word from Tidradio that within the next couple of months they're bringing out the TD-H3+ and one of the new features is the bluetooth can also be used for audio I/O so the bluetooth speaker mics like the ones that Tidradio sells on their website can be used. I just purchased a half dozen of the Tidradio bluetooth speaker mics and found out they don't work well with the common android apps like Zello, Echolink, Peanut...but at least I got them on sale for $10 each so I will find something to use them for. I just wish TidRadio could do upgrades to the H3 and H8 firmware to use the bluetooth for the wireless speaker mics as well.

I am more than happy with the TD-H3 radio, own several of them. There are desk top chargers available from TIDRADIO. As for the scrambler, I would not waste my time with it's voice inversion as it is useless. Alternative Firmware is also available that adds additional functions to the radio.

Really enjoy my TID H3/ It's a solid radio and like it better than my UV5R. I definitely recommend the TID H3.

The IP rating... I have (had) a couple of UV5Rs that I used on GMRS freqs for watershed cleanups; at $20 they are not a lose. This weekend someone had one of the Fengs, in a carry pouch and lease, and still dropped the radio in the creek. Prays for the UV5R as it dries. Can we at least have quick immersion waterproofing? I have two UV68s but the RX/TX is poor. My RA89 has decent RX/TX and a good IP rating.

I have a Quansheng. The reason I bought it was because it's receive range is a large. I did notice the receive quality is lacking. But $20, what do you expect. This radio sound pretty much about the same. I did get a TYT MD-UV390 plus for my birthday. They seen to have good receive capabilities, is digital, can do 256 encryption. and is IP 67 rating. From now on all my HT's are going to be IP rate. Now for someone to release a IP rated HF/VHF/UHF radio (that can be opened up) with a tuner and battery. Do enjoy you videos. Thanks

For Hams; radio will do 1.25M or 220mhz with a proper antenna. If you use the uMod firmware the radio will dislay an s-meter on the display. Makes it very useful for fox hunting. For non hams a fox hunt is radio direction finding with the goal of findng a hidden transmitter.

I’m looking at GMRS for emergency communications within my family. With 5-watt HTs, we are too far apart, so I’m working with friends in the area to set up a repeater in the area that the family could use. Of course, I would want to make it useable to the public so anyone can benefit from it. I like the idea of strategic placement of repeaters, but pulling it off without some sort of philanthropy would be extremely difficult.

I think you can only Bluetooth program 1 radio at a time

I love the H-3. I keep 3 of them in the trunk of my car because everyone I show it to wants one. As it becomes more popular more accessories will become available. Like cases and a aaa clamshell.

I would gladly trade USB-c charging for a battery eliminator accessory, and even more useful, a battery shell/case that holds AA batteries.

I've heard good things about the TID radios. I have a pair of Talkpod A36s which rx & tx (advertised as 8 watts 144 & 440) from 25 - 610 mhz ("developer mode" - FM ONLY). It does rx AM Air band. Also has NOAA Alert. They are the same size as the Icom F1000/2000 series. If you're interested in larger size portables, take a look at the Radtel RT-730 & RT-751 (same size as Motorola 7500 series). The RT-730 rx & tx 136 - 610 mhz. I'm waiting for the 751 to arrive & and I'm curious to see what it'll do. Both are advertised as 10 watts. The 730 operates as if it is. I can interrogate UHF repeaters that my 4 watt Icom F2000 can't... ATB !

2:18 - 2:30 ish, Please provide documentation of these "Large" Fines as I've never heard of any. And I'm reasonably certain you can still buy at retail radios with this functionality, which I would assume as part of the "Fine" / "Disciplinary" process would include a cease and deists order on the sales!

I am surprised you did not see the IC stuff sooner. I am a member of the LEPC in southern Ohio. The county does yearly exercises and uses it. Now we do not have the resources that you all do, but we follow it to the extent we can.

Texting on a Baofeng can be done with APRS and an old/new smartphone. APRS Droid and the baofeng aprs cable you can send texts and emails if there is a node near. But you can do it simplex to a nearby radio/phone setup.

Be glad that in the USA GMRS can use repeaters. In Canada, GMRS radios are limited to 2 watts, no removable antennas and no GMRS repeaters.

This is what radio is about, Field operation! now you should do a comparison on how much better a tuned aftermarket antenna will perform. Thank you for the video. -de KK7BVX 73'

Taking up the few frequencies GMRS has with repeater linking would seriously reduce the ability to use GMRS repeaters.

Rant Strat., thats all fine and dandy untill FCC shuts them down or pressured an entity to shut the repeaters down and doesn't care about the people and or fires, here is what we are going through/state of Oregon, and we get a ton of Wild Fires also!; Hello All Well it has been a good run!! 2 repeaters in 700 and 675 repeaters are permanently unlinked from the system. Seems to be pressure on the Site owners about linking GMRS Repeaters via the internet. While this has been somewhat clarified by the FCC, blank and I, still have not received any communication from the FCC about the linking we are doing, to cease operations!

Underrated channel, 10/10, great information!

Use a custom program for Motorola DTR 750's radios for secure comms. Keep your programming software on a usb drive and remove it after each use. No repeaters for this radio, but within 2 to 5 miles they Work great.

IDK why people are complaining about GMRS repeater linking. The repeaters are only supposed to operate within a certain frequency range. There are a wide range of CTCSS or DTS codes to squelch them out with, if you really want to talk on the repeater frequencies.

Google "Meshtastic" :) It's great for text messages Great video. I learned a couple of new things

I have found Rattlegram to be interesting to play around with. Some might find it an easy way to increase privacy on FRS/CB radios though I am uncertain as to its legality.

Just note that any encryption system is not safe until independently tested (and even that doesn't give any 100% confidence). AES itself it (so far kind of) secure but implementations of AES are often unsecure. And unsecure implementations are common.. Commercial systems, like TETRA, proved to be unsecure (there are presentations about it). Also note that HAM encrypted communication depends on a country law. In Poland HAMs are allowed to use encryption.
