Great point about redundancy in kits. I have to plan for the potential loss of my TH-D74A and how it's now obsolete, so I have been drilling with other radios that I can get set up for TNC use and general purpose RF (analog and digital voice). Normally when I have something I really like I'll get a second one (a costly principle sometimes) and dedicate it to a pack, just so I don't have to always transfer things and potentially forget it for a field activity.
Josh has all the cool toys. Could you do a ghetto version of this?
Will do!
Its just baofengs in a walmart plastic bag
I've always been a bag-geek. I look forward to hearing your thoughts on this video
I approve of the T-Shirt about the 25 min mark. Well done. ;)
Always helpful information and suggestions.
After a year and a half of Zoom, how do people not know how to mute their audio? Definitely, some good ideas for go-bags. Beats the Gator boxes that require a truck to get them GOing.
Very informative video. I watch your videos all the time and I really enjoyed this format. You should do more of these.
It kind of like my live streams, every Saturday.
Hey Midge was there when I got my tech
I really enjoyed that. Thanks for the show of your stuff... 73 Vic KE8JWE
Thank you for the show, also from SoCal - K2PTL
I've known QRP operators to setup their kit in old school metal tooboxes. If done properly it should make a good Faraday box also.
For the G-90, I prefer the XGG comms Digimode 4 interface when compared to the CE-19. The one I have has both the data and CAT connections integrated into the unit, so there are only two cables that plug into the radio, and one to the computer. The CE-19 setup requires multiple cables, and in some cases, an external sound card, resulting in a much more complicated setup, and is harder to keep neat.
I’ll check that out. Thanks!
34:20 In reference to the garbage pail faraday cages and the ease of transporting in your truck; in the event of an EMP your radio gear may be fine, but your truck may now be unusable unless you drive a 1970’s model with a distributor, points and condenser, and a mechanically operated fuel pump. 😉 Most, if not all, vehicles these days will fall victim to an EMP.
Not true. But that is something a lot of people repeat over and over again.
Not sure I believe it but had an engineer tell me that all the shielding they have to do in modern electric vehicle (Tesla in his case) to prevent RF noise in the environment, makes them very tolerant to an EMP.
Regardless, my 52 Ford tractor will be fine. :)
@@HamRadioCrashCourse do you have a video on this topic? Im glad to hear my truck won’t be disabled. It’s something I’ve been worried about and saw on another channel where a guy is promoting essentially a faraday car cover to prevent EMP exposure.
Hey could you talk some more about remote / internet access to the IC-705 ?
Great presentation JOSH❗️. KV5P
I am pretty sure you have more bags than I do.
Will the vehicle will work after an EMP? Does the size of the can matter?
What is thatt small green bag that you had the IC-705 stored in? I am looking for something to store my 705 in so I can keep it in my Chameleon Antenna MPAS 2.0 bag that is padded and will protect it.
Two is one...one is none.
Great video .. I did have a question.. you were mentioning an On The Go adapter.. was that just a Micro USB to USB cable to connect the SDR dongle to Lenovo Tablet? Also Would you still use the mobilink still if say you used you use the FT5DR instead.. which has BT capability and APRS built in correct?
No. The ft5 doesn’t really do what the Mobilinkd does. The ft5d cannot connect over tablets.
With supplies threatened, and needing to build at least one of these kits (or an analog thereof), what would you recommend for someone starting from scratch? The first kit (of course, you'd have to substitute the Kenwood if you couldn't find one used), the 2nd, a mashup of the 3? Now, cheaper gear selection is a factor, as I'd need to setup a couple of these for family/friends for emergency comms.
Where did you find the green bag for the ic-705
I'd like to know too!
Josh I know that you like using a tablet, but, I still keep my old S9+ smartphone around, would that be a good substitute for a tablet? Or is it worth having a bigger screen?
The bigger screen is pretty much my go to.
Can you program an HT for repeaters with the little tablet❓
If you use the Bluetooth dongle for baofengs. Yes.
@@HamRadioCrashCourse Baofeng has a Bluetooth dongle?
I have a Kenwood TH F6a when I have it charged and sitting on the shelf for a couple of days the battery runs down. If I take the battery off of the radio it maintains a complete charge. Have you experience this with yours?
Can you make a video on how to set the Woad app for exemple tnc audio type.
I just want to make the cheapest conection to the radio whitout mobilink.
It’s on my. “You need an android tablet” video.
@@HamRadioCrashCourse thank you. 73's de Pedro CT7ARQ
for redundancy - don't sell / give away an old radio/antenna/interface when you get a new one :-)
What is the useful range of all this kit?
We are Slaves to the solar cycle. At the top of the cycle, your signal can go all the way around the world, and come back to you. But that is optimal conditions. Right now, while conditions are poor, you’re basically guaranteed country wide communications, but not always worldwide. This will improve as time goes on.
@@tylerdean980 Thank you, very much appreciated.
Anybody know if I can use the Kenwood TH-D74 with WoAD directly without using the Mobilinked?
You should be able to. Use usb connection for tnc
What android tablet is that?
Lenovo M8, I did a video about it.
1:58 - Is Lynsay Booth still dancing in that cage to protest the wetlands?
barely saw any actual bags. ????
Jesus doesn’t anyone know how to mute their microphones? Had to listen to that woman have violent sneezing and coughing fits multiple times. 🙄
