OMG, ill never get the eleven minutes and three seconds of my life back .....
and yet, you still took the time to whine about it, so clearly your time is not very valuable.
Sounds like a sad ham to me
That would suggest you had a life. Your on TH-cam bro……and commenting to boot
There is a "delay", but most normal people. ... most "normal people"..... "normal people" know this!
Michael, you will feel better if you climb out of your basement, go out side and enjoy some sunshine. Bring some sun screen because it sounds like you have been down there a long time and I'm sure you are very pale. Here is a pro tip to getting your life back: Find the button that shuts down the youtube app and use it.
I've been a ham for 33+ years, whoopdeedoo. I like GMRS better because it's "radio for the common man". Love your vids.
Amen ! KK7T
If only they'd put more GMRS repeaters up. There's no network. - KO4RMH- WRMW381
I hit a repeater on all 8 repeater frequencies
If someone is in range of one repeater #1 and i am out range of that repeater, but in range of repeater #2 which range overlaps with repeater #1, can i talk to them? Or do we both need to be in range of the same repeater?
Who else watches to see who got pinned to the top?
Ive been trying to get pinned on purpose, but he wont do it because im his favorite viewer.
Constructive criticisms… less sarcasm and straight to the point. Thank you!
I thought for while I wanted to get my HAM license but dropped the idea when I learned you can use repeaters in GMRS. I really don’t have any interest in all the geeky stuff in the HAM world. I just want to legally use my radio. Got my GMRS license and a couple radios. Thanks for the guidance.
Amen 👍
That's what I'm talking about. Amen GMRS Brother
Exactly why I went GMRS and I work in the electrical mechanical field.
As a newbie to GMRS, your videos are such a breath of fresh air. As a former broadcaster/entertainer, I have to give you credit for your ability to present fantastic information with a confident angle. I have never watched one of you videos and not laughed, smiled, or learned from you. Thanks for the great content.
i agree,fantastic vids
I listen to the HRCC and the JRE poscasts. 15 to 20 minutes isn't a problem. I enjoy your videos, please make whatever length you like.
Who is "JRE?" HRCC is the Ham Radio Crash Course...

You’re the reason I got into GMRS and I want to thank you. I love your teaching style it’s refreshing plus you always crack me up 🤣🤣
I find your videos very useful. Got our license because of you. Thanks.
I'm getting mine as well and setting up a repeater for my whole area,this side of mount rainier line of sight hopefully 👍🏻we will see how it goes, fingers crossed.🙏✌️😎
Your videos help us noobs understand how things work in the GMRS world. The best thing I like about GMRS is the talking fars via repeaters and the simplex to not disrupt those on the repeaters.
Just love this channel, I’m a general in the ham world and love it! (not a “sad ham”) but, GMRS is a very important part of our family farm. It’s so nice that all involved in our farm can use the repeater I put up for all the farm activities! AND I hope you all will join the GMRS family. It’s just handy and fun 24-7!!!!!
GMRS radios seem to be more convenient than handheld CBs. The CB HTs need really big battery packs or don't last long on what you can get, so you need a 12V car battery for power, but the GMRS HTs are efficient enough to use small Lithium packs. So my CB radio stays in the car.
I only used my AA battery-powered HT CB radio to listen to the NOAA weather forecasts, until I got a digital emergency radio (KA600) and a cheapie FRS/GMRS. HT.
This guy is awesome! An excellent teacher indeed. Much appreciated.
Thank you for not wasting my time or killing me with boredom. Your GMRS videos have been very helpful and humorous to boot!
Great presentation and better than paying some propeller head to sit in a boring classroom for 6 weeks where all he wants to do is convince you to take the test for your HAM license.
I've had FRS and am new to GRMS and most of what I've learned came from your videos
Just watched your walk around the Salton Sea. Respect.
My life was pathetic before watching this video. I couldn't hold down a job. My wife had left me. My dog even pissed in my boots. But now that I am a youtube certified gmrs operator all that has changed. I just won the lottery the other night. You may have heard about that on the news. I am getting married to a super model in the morning and I don't have to have a job now because I am filthy rich. I want to thank you sir for all your hard work and dedication
I dunno... I think, if I didn't understand this repeater stuff already, I might be more confused. Think you need a Carl Rove style whiteboard to illustrate some of these concepts as all the talk of channel sharing is hard to visualize without a visual aid. Also a demo of the squelch tail would've made that much clearer. But, enjoyed this vid, as I have all the others and I give you much respect for trying to help the noobs. I bet you've increased GMRS use in the US more than you know. I know you're the motivator in my case for sure.
Vid length is good, don't listen to the haters. Keep the long awkward pauses that make your channel fun.
You know Randy, I had to listen to a TH-cam prostate ad to get here but by golly, It was well worth it.
This is why I'm getting the Woxoun KG-905G radio, so it can identify tones for me.
Jumped right in! Didn't waist my time at all. I did miss an appointment with the Cardiologist, but what the hell!
Priorities!
🤦♂️ Why don't you learn to cut corners like a normal Cardilogist?
I hear you can find one of those on Craigslist
Me being your favorite viewer enjoyed this video which cleared up a lot thank you. Now its time to go watch gunsmoke.
Most of us like the long videos, Randy. The longer the video, the more of your infamous wisdom we recieve. Thanks for your time.
Thanks for: the gmrs certification and saving my life from boredom😅👍🏻
Dude, your videos are awesome and you are a great teacher. Dont listen to the masses.
Your videos are NEVER too long and you NEVER waste my time. Just my opinion, but if you wanted to know it...there it is.
Hi, thank you very much not wasting my time, love it !! have a nice one everybody ! "Kirsssssssh" 😉
I like your longer videos, 20 to 30 minute naps are awesome.
Dude you're AWESOME! Forget the great information you share, you're just entertaining! Learned a lot about GMRS from you, thanks!
My friend I just started picking up your videos and I have to tell you point-blank you are a rockstar.. you've cut have very good sense of humor but you bring into the videos and you know your stuff and you imparted in a very very good way I am a retired CEO of a $300 m company.. just learning about GMR radios
Excellent information. Thanks. I was gonna spend 11 minutes for foreplay and sex, but glad I substituted this instead.
Love your videos and they have helped me a lot with understanding the whole GMRS operation. I now utilize a repeater in my area and have made some new friends on the radio. Keep up the great job.
I am just beginning to learn all about GRMS stuff and plan to get a couple of radio soon. Thank you so much for taking the time to carefully explain repeaters. I’ve watched a number of your videos so far and really enjoy your channel.
As far as I'm concerned, you can make your videos as long as you want! If they're longer than I can stay awake, I can just pick up where I left off. I don't normally click the BELL icon on channels when I subscribe. Yours is the only one. :-)
Love the channel, love the content!! A 20 - 30 minute video is great, and a treat when it's longer. Folks who think that's too long need to chill.
✌✌👍👍
I am going to be buying a GMRS. Radio; I really appreciate the lessons in your presentations. As I am Legally blind, you assist me in learning, in a much easier manner. Thank you.
Im legalyblind too.
I love how a lot of radios talk now.
whatcha get?
I got the rb19p but I still want to have ones with removable antennas.
I have the baofeng but I want a gmrs specific version of it that way I cannot screw anything up no matter what. probably going for the gt5r next
Probably the best, most straight forward explanation for repeaters in the world. I now use the printed ham version under my wobbly table leg.
I like your videos because 1) they are informative, 2) you are way funnier than the other ham radio YT channels and 3) you are not an insufferable sad ham. I never think they're too long. Some of the bits might be a little repetitive, but not a problem.
OMG!! Thank you for this video!! I am so new to all of this. Hubby and myself just want to be able to communicate if the network goes down. We are only like 5 miles apart and I was afraid I had to purchase a lot of expensive equipment. Your videos really help explain the difference between the ham vs gmrs. Thank you
Thanks for explaining that. It helps to have the frequency list in front of you when listening to your explanation. So now I see it. The alignment of frequency's 15-22 and 23-30.
Hey man, thanks to all the info you provide in your channel bout GMRS and how it works i went and applied for my license the other night. Just waiting now for the FCC to assign me a callsign.
Thank you for NOT wasting my time. :)
Thank you for not wasting my time while clearing up this particular quagmire.
Just got my GMRS license, and blame you. WRON547
Thank you for never wasting our time nor killing us with boredom
Thank you for your videos! A few minutes of your video clarifies hours of trying to understand user manuals!
Thank you for all the great information. Love your sarcasm! Subscribed.
Excellent description so glad I found your channel. You make this so easy to understand.
Thank you for entertaining me with this video, I watch em all no matter how long
Amazing how many fars a little humor goes in helping people learn. Thanks for the great content. I wish I had a friend like you in real life.
Great explanation of the difference between the two and explaining the repeater channel line up. I will refer back to this TH-cam as I move forward in getting the best out of GMRS usage. Thanks for sharing! Happy Holidays!
Thank you for the fantastic video! I wasn't sure how repeaters worked, and you presented the information in a very easy to understand way.
Love your channel! Not wasting my time nor bored!
😂😂 You are hilarious. Love the videos. Thank you. But not because of the length of video. The info and commentary makes my day. Bravo!
Thanks for your videos this noob is learning a lot.
Thanks for laying out the differences. Love the comment you inserted for like 0.25 seconds of screen time! :)
Thank you for another informative video!

Another great video. I don't know much about this stuff so just learning. This radio world seems Needlessly complicated, but very interesting
Very clear and very informative. I learned something. Getting my Wouxun KG-UV9G Pro soon I hope. Been checking out many of your videos and learning how to use these radios.
Your explanation is very clear! Thanks a lot!
YOU DON'T BORE ME AT ALL. ALL THIS IS VERY USEFULL FOR ME! THANKS!!!
Good job, thanks for the explanation.
Thanks. I got my gmrs yesterday.
I have A uv 5R plus Can I get a bigger Internet to make it extend more ?
Some TH-cam viewers are definitely "certifiable!
My time was not wasted, since I had a 22 oz. coffee while viewing...
Thank you for the knowledge.
Thank you for the video always educational thank you very much
Thank you awesome info as always keep up the good work...
I’m YTGMRS certified now. And, I did not die. Win win.
Thank you very much!! Glad to see someone shares my infinity for Napoleon Dynamite!!😂
Good videos...I always play them in 1.5 speed...no worries.
great video! i learned..thank you!
Thank you for not killing me with boredom.
Although all the talk about the 50 things you have to do to the UV-5R sounds interesting to me. Does that make me a sad ham sympathizer?
You're treading dangerously close to sadhammage!
Learn something every time!! Love the sarcasm.
Thinks for doing the research for me and passing on the info. Also, props for being able to make eye contact with a camera lense.
Thank you for not wasting my time, now to watch your program a how to program a GMRS repeater channel.
Always enjoy your videos! :)
Love this channel, the info, and the attitude. I'm digging GMRS.
Maybe one day I'll move to Sadham, Massachusetts, if I can possibly remember V/I=R somehow.
Thank you!! Sincerely your favorite viewer ! Channel has helped me a lot since I’m very new to this!! Thanks again!
Excuse me, I'm the favorite viewer. He said so.
You sure?? I swear he pointed and looked right at me when he said that!🤷♂️🤣
@@661larry too funny
I just got my license for gmrs this week thanks
Very helpful, thank you!
Thx for your content.
Thanks for clearing that up, was def confused 😎
Great explanation 👍🏻
The "Mr Rogers" of GMRS. And, as they said of him, he was a oers in dire need of a good enema.
..thank you for the condescension and patronization. I feel like I just graduated from kindergarten.
Many thanks for the education.
your the man, thanks again!
Teach Me, Teach Me! Seldom met a person that couldn't teach me something. Love the vids, keep it up. Smart not to argue with the Misses but idiot is kinda strong. I caught the pop up! Be well!
Well done.
I enjoy your vids esp the travel ones of the Sonoran Desert areas..don't let the sad hams make you change
