Enjoyed your introduction video..as a very new (68 yo guy) technician, I am searching for guidance. I live rural in Maine and will be using VHF/UHF with repeaters to get out…due to hill cover. I will be reviewing your videos. Thanks again. Remember to fill in the small details. New guys need that guidance.
I haven’t tested it myself, but apparently on our local club repeater if you put in the 88.5 tone, it will block out digital signals so you’re not hearing that if you’re not equipped for it Great video, Dude!
A good thing to know is if your entire island loses power including all the repeaters, people will still try those repeater frequencies, which you still can if you put your radio in reverse. You also have the option of using 146.520 mhz on simplex, the national calling frequency, to wait for further instructions which your civil defense agency and your DEM will establish operational frequencies by areas. It’s important to just drop in your call to let people know that you are monitoring and ready for instructions. It’s important to keep frequencies clear for emergency traffic, be in the “listen and learn” mode. That’s what makes great hams...👍
Dooooood! Nice video and what a great skill to work on as a new ham. If you are studying for that tech test and you already have a handheld, learn to program those local repeaters. You'll be ahead of the rest.
Ham radio manufacturers have made a big mistake by not standardizing digital communications. Their approach does not promote communications, it reduces it. How is that good for ham radio???
My license to experiment is great. It means I have the ability to test out different modes, learn about setting up nodes, learn about running nodes and linking them over the Internet and in situations where needed, with no internet. Digital communications tend to be narrow taking up less bandwidth and giving the potential to be heard further out. I can't see how any of this learning or experimentation would be good for ham radio.
I do see your point about Preparatory software, though. It is kinda cool that there are some available techniques to have some of the different modes be able to link to eachother
Thank you for useful information! Hello from Moscow, Russia! :)

Thank you. Great video and info.
Very nicely explained Dude! I really need to join a club or find an Elmer… I still have so many questions!!!!
Fantastically informative, but in an easy way
