Updates: at 4:15, your video is no longer correct... we now have to go through a link that says "FRN Financial" to pay the sign up fee.

Gmrs is great easier to get a license without a dinosaur test

Rad Video!!

American manufacturers aren’t interested in satisfying the consumer interest. They never invest in future concepts or speculation. Look at the flat screen TV which RCA engineers worked to develop for decades, but allowed the Japanese, South Korean, and Chinese to dominate. Remember the video disc player that operated with a stylus in contact with the media instead of optical ? How about the screw up with the video tape system, selecting VHS over the superior Beta. Don’t forget the CD player, the DVD, and Blue Ray. I don’t understand it. It seems like they just don’t want to take a chance on new technology. They would rather concentrate on washing machines and bathroom fixtures. Think of it, would you buy a Chinese toilet ? American Standard, and nothing else. It almost seems that all marketing is directed towards seniors. That must be because all of the decision makers are up in age. So we are criticized for buying Chinese radios. Hello, they are making tons of them, with innovative features ! Wake up American Manufacturing, it’s the experimenters and hobbits that you should be aiming for. Everyone else just follows the trend setters. Look at Apple !

reintroduced??? Bro Biden never removed them...

Lmao what an insanely alarmist, partisan take there, comrade.

Cheap junk chinese stuff we don't need. Most the reason Chinese products are so cheap is from basically slave labor and they steal intellectual property from the usa instead of doing their own r and d. That's the reason we don't make anything here in the states, but that'll all change when trump gets in. Lower taxes and eventually more jobs for us americans.

I am glad you're uploading again. I have always enjoyed your content and can appreciate the hell out of your newfound no-fucks-given attitude. Looking forward to more great radio content!

My favorite ending ever.

Americans are going to have to build better radios and work for less money

Thanks for posting this how to video. I have my license but others my church want theirs to be a part of our area emergency preparedness program. Saved your video to show others.

Picked up a Kenwood TK-890 from eBay. It rocks sure it’s 27-35 watts depending on antenna etc but sound quality is epic. Different models out there like it’s big bro at about 100 watts. Programming can be a pita but once you figure it out all is well.

I'm happy to bay $10 more for a baofeng if it means half my paycheck isn't taxed in one way or another.

It's obvious that the tariffs are to drive American companies to start producing products that we've so long relied on China to produce, but it's going to take some time for that to ultimately become the norm. I'm all for it, but patience is necessary...

i just ordered one and now im seeing there is a new one coming out soon so hopefully its going to be better

I've argued for years with an "Old HAM" friend that the lack of integration of modern technology in HAM radios is astounding. I will admit I am a software engineer and might see things differently. But, I am right. The manufacturers need to catch up with the times. It's good to learn of these types of products.

And you guys voted for Trump for this?

I'm gonna hoard radios like toilet paper in the pandemic. Where's my debit card?

Had a 79 that same color. Long box wrecked it in like 83

They do have a USB-C battery you can buy separately now. I know it is compatible with the KG-UV9GX. I think it is compatible with this model as well. I wish it came standard with the radio considering the cost of the radio. Most GMRS radios at this price point and even below come with USB-C charging capability now. I own the KG-UV9GX and while I love the radio, I would like to see them add a few features. The screen needs to be easily readable in daylight. I also would like to see them add GPS and text capabilities as that is where GMRS is headed now. There are a few other features I would like to see as well. Overall, you can't go wrong with these radios.

Update your affiliate links so we can get you paid crazy!

Hi, I got a question. Can you use this on UPS that has a that has a capacity of 1800watts and using the UPS on a gaming PC that has a 1000watts? I just got this Idea if this is possible for longer power outage

So we can or can not put gmrs frequency in this radio ? Just trying to understand what you said in the video

Antenna efficiency... that is such a small fraction of the wavelength - it can't transmit efficiently vs GMRS. What a difference.

Mine doesn’t show uls pay it shows uls batch

Great info. I find repeater book to be a good source as well. I was able to get 6 repeaters in my area off of repeater book.

Jammer van al dat gepraat. Als buitenlander (Holland) snap ik er niets van zou meer willen zien als je iets aansluit bijvoorbeeld een waterkoker van 800 watt

5:06 was that a Warren G regulator song reference 😄

Unfair test. The Yaesu has to have the MARS mod to transmit on GMRS. It was not designed to transmit out of band and the transmit frequency can't be any more than 2 watts. Plus, you should use the same antenna on both units.

Thank you for your YT series and the study suggestions. I passed the Technician exam yesterday on the first try - 34/35. Sometimes you can teach an old dog a new trick.

Awesome video. Killer drone footage and I'm sure this took f o r e v e r to produce.

That’s some damn good story telling Matt! I’m glad you’re back!

Welcome back. Great video!

This is probably about the best 'how to' video on TH-cam for any subject. Only the information I need and no confusing tangents that dont apply to me that's a waste of time. This was all short and to the point and exactly what I look for when trying to learn something.

ty so much man wow that website is horrid

Be sure to check the description for Google Maps links to the places visited in this video!

Thankyou so much.

So actually on each side only three bolts are doing all the work? That’s not safe, I returned mine for that reason, the older curt hitches used all 4 holes on frame each side….

I’m looking forward to your upcoming videos!

I just replaced a 384Wh 300W unit with this EB3A and I am very impressed

Lessgooooooo

I got my Tech license over 30 years ago. I used it for 2m for a few years, then did nothing. But I renewed my license every time it came due (as did my wife). About a year ago I decided to try for General. I studied and memorized everything. Passed the test online. Now I've discovered HF and I'm REALLY loving that! I've spent a bunch of money on radios, antennas, and assorted ham related goodies. Converted my Bully Barn shop into a Bully Barn Ham Shack. I don't know if I'm going to try for an Extra license. I'm 79 and hate to waste valuable airtime trying to memorize stuff I have no interest in. But I guess the bragging rights would be cool. Nice video. I hope you've convinced many more folks to get into the hobby. I've become a POTA freak, both hunting and activating. 73. K7LWL

Get a PO Box to register for license then cancel the box 6-12 months later? Repercussions?

Is it possible to ask to have your physical address as "unlisted"? I don't want to pay for a PO Box I'll never use. Thank you for this helpful, informative information!

My first car was a 77 Courier. Paid $500 for it and drove it all over Montana in high school and college. Got up and down many old logging roads to fish and hike and made memories that are still with me.

The PNW is not a rust prone area...

Lol the name of my mobile hotspot is "Toyota's are for girls" gotta LOVE that IFS

Finally… a good review on this thing. Thank you.

Do they email it to you or have to go back and take a look on the website? The callsign I mean.
