Thank you for this resource! They even provide training classes in Ocala close to where I live! Im thinking of investing that $500 into it.
Love being able to support another Evan. Not many of us out there and the good ones are even fewer. 🤣🤣
BNC British naval connector we used them on navy ships and all kinds of telecom equipment.
@@infotechsailor Wow now, someone told you a big sea-story there Shipwreck.., BNC=Bayonet Neill-Concelman, it is a common connector used throughout the world of electronics. We used them in the USN too but the British Navy has nothing to do with the name. It is the name of the two American inventors working at two American companies, Bell Labs, and Amphenol.
Nagoya NA-770 antenna has been replaced by the NA-771 model. Nagoya is approved by the Baufeng company for use with their radios.
That "quarter-turn" connector is called a "BNC" connector. They're quite commonly used on test equipment such as o'scopes & digital analyzers.
And what does "BNC" stand for?
@@JayKayKay7 Here ya go: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BNC_connector
@@Jollyprez I always thought "BNC" stood for 'Bayonet Naval Connector".
Never knew that it was for the two guys who invented the thing.
( Back in the day I had a 10-base T network running in my house so I could play Descent.
@@JayKayKay7 Bayonet Neill-Concelman
@@teebob21 See above
A bit more detail on Cody's information. When you use the magnetic base your antenna is still your antenna but the vehicle becomes a groundplane which increases the efficiency of the antenna.
The connector on the BaoFeng is an SMA connectot. The connector on the antenna is a BNC. So the adapter is a BNC to SMA adapter.
The BNC allows you to conveniently use lots of different antennas - it's probably the most common antenna connector - but it doesn't let you add a push to talk accessory.
EDIT: I left out genders. The SMA connector on the BaoFeng *RADIO* is SMA male. The BNC connector on the Signal Stick is a Male BNC. So the adapter you would need to ask for would has SMA Female on one side and BNC Female on the other side. So that would be a *SMA* *female* *to* *BNC* *female* *adapter* .
One other thing to watch out for is that there are also RP-SMA (reverse polarity SMA) connectors which are a different thing the RP SMA look very similar IIRC the dimensions and the same but the pin and socket are reversed.
I've added this because my intention was not to "knock down" Cody who is not claiming to be a radio expert.
I wanted to help people get the right stuff and understand whatt that stuff was doing for them.
I’m not sure what you mean regarding adding a push to talk accessory. Could you explain that?
He has no idea what he’s talking about when it comes to these radios, if you notice hes even got SMA written on his hand so he wouldn’t forget what it was called. Pause it @2:05 lol.
@@GeorgeAdams A push to talk accessory is an accessory that allows you to trigger the "talk" function the same as if you were pushing the button on the side of the radio or a mic. In fact the button on the side of the radio is called the PTT button (push-tp-talk).
Sometimes the talk function it can be sound activated, some times it can be a big remote button that you can mount somewhere like the steering wheel of a car or the middle of your body armour.
It's usually used in conjunctiom with another mic, e.g. a headset, throat mic , lapel mic etc and possibly another speaker or earphone.
For example a car set uop for covert surveilane might have.a mic in the sun visor and the audio going to an earpiese or the vehicle's sound system and a PTT button mounted on the back of steering wheel, so you can trigger it with your forefinger and talk.
Basiclaly it helps you use the radio without having it in your hand.
You could for example put it in a pouch on the back of your belt and still use the radio while it is in the pouch.
PTT accesoriees are usually attched via the audio in jack.
Beat me to it.
@@jonrice21yeah I gathered that, as much as I like wranglestar I doubt he truly understands radio, especially with the statement it turns your vehicle into an antenna and the. Follows up on connecting the radio antenna to the mount, it doesn’t take much electrical knowledge to understand that I mean come on.
Wonder if wranglestar has an ammeter radio license?
The antenna is the most important part of a communications system, I learned that from a Ham operator who talked all over the world. Nice thing about that magnetic base is that could put a longer wave metal whip antenna on it and really increase the range even more.
I live in Ohio and most of your stuff has nothing to do with how I go about in my daily life, but I still subscribe just to expand my knowledge base. God bless from my neck of the woods
Lt.C Nutn Fancy would be proud of the timely display of power.
NutnFancy would give it a 1 star because he couldn't break the antenna in half and use it as a weapon of opportunity
Nutn would dislike due to the lack of acronyms.
@@jeremygross992 😂
@joshuadodge7225 you missed the joke. Cody is wearing 2 watches.
Nutn would have a 3 hour vid on it🤦🏼
Greatly appreciate the info and persistence Sir. Thank you.
I appreciate you brother. Thank you for the baogeng info, I’ve been asking awhile. You’re an asset. Never stop. But you already know that.
Signal Stuff provides reasonably priced antennas and accessories while subsidizing instructional tools for those wanting to earn their license. Maybe plug the maker as well rather than just plugging a reseller.
Been using those radios and scanners for years. The key to the BEST antenna is which frequency you want optimized. There is no one all antenna but there are some pretty good ones that come close. I have a dozen Bofengs recently switched to ＷOUXUN KG-UV9D. Much more expensive but clearer and stronger.
I have a uv9d+. Would take it any day over any Feng. For an actual full duplex analog radio it's fantastic. Wouxun makes a decent Chinesium radio & they are not very expensive as far as proper HT's are concerned.
"This gives me the fizz"
Me. "Oooo I want the fizz"
Me 2 min later. " I also have the fizz"
Terrific content as always. Thank you
As an insufferable HAM myself, I love my Boafengs. I bought one for every household for my family down here in FL and programmed them with the NOAA, local repeaters, and emergency services frequencies.
Best antenna for baofeng or similar is a
Diamond 7o1
Or Nagoya 771
Use sma connectors anything else will leak signal on UHF
Centre loaded highest gain
Of antenna in its class
Abree millitary types are ok but
Stick to 18 " one or swr will knock it out
A rat's tail or counterpoise is a great addition .
For a extension antenna a bandit type dipole is perfect it's all wire it coils up has a ballen built in .
Using a mag mount without checking swr or having it on a metal base for a ground plane is risking blowing the finals in radio .
Baofengs are amazing radios but double check antenna info
In particular swr when using adjustable antennas or directional beam which will vastly improve range but in one direction .
Diamond antenna and fix 7" wire to screw on radios body and youl not be disappointed
In settings switch to wide band for picking up weak signals once established move to narrow band for better reception if you lose it go back to wide setting .
Height is your friend UHF is line of sight and doesn't like bricks or rock ,
Higher channels give slightly better performance .
If your using 2mtrs or VHF your better with a larger abree antenna or the bandit tuned to VHF
A sirio type white stick pre tuned slung up a tree or on a pole is VG
I'd stick that mag mount on a hurricane fence or run a length of wire onto a wire fence
Anything metal I wouldn't trust it on its own I suppose you could fashion wire ground plane for it maybe 4 lengths of say six feet wire but check swr with a swr meter .
2.0 is workable aim for 1.5 or lower .
Dude, you always come out with the most timely videos. I was staring at my Baofeng today wondering what I should upgrade.
You should upgrade the radio itself instead of adding accessories to a toy
@@vitogriffin8902 what do you recommend
Thank you this is great!
Very informative. Thank you, Sir. I will act accordingly.
You, The Essential Craftsman, and Buckin Billy Ray are like "The Internet Dad!"
The connector is a BNC, it’s a BNC to SMA adapter you are using.
Oops, thanks for the clarification
Back to the 80s with car phone antenna equipment
Out Of All The Antennas I Have Tested For The Baofeng UV-5R I Believe The Best One Is The Nagoya NA-771. Nothing Has Beat That Antenna Yet.
New subscriber. Love your channel, sir 🇺🇸
They are definitely cool little radios. I like to pair them with a scanner. (An old Radio Shack works great) Much faster at finding channels etc.
Pro-91 and a Pro-94
To be more specific the adaptor is a BNC Female to SMA Female adaptor, it will work for most of the Chinese brand radio's as well as most Kenwood radio's, because that is what they copy them from. I have set mine up in a ammo can but with 20W mobile units to get more power. Great job explaining the use of a better antenna.
I like all these ideas. And its nice to see you in a brighter shirt again brother!!
Double watch and notes on the hand made my day 😊
The double watch has me at a loss. I thinknive missed something
I have to try it! Thanks!
I have a signal stick on my Yaesu Ft-60. They are great! Nothing wrong with the UV-5R either. And yes that comes from a Proho who also happens to be an Amateur Radio operator too.
Great video. I bought one from Evan based on this video. Thanks!
S.O.E. is where it's at!!!
Super high quality products at a price that an average guy can afford!
“The fizz” cracks me up
The metal oil pan base need to have the antenna stuck to the bottom. The metal you attach it too isn’t just to secure it… the metal acts as a ground plane which is a part of what makes antenna work. The higher side putting the antenna in the pan will effect how effective the antenna is.
Thank you 🙏
Evan is top notch. He has my whole family sorted with radios now.
Very cool. Thanks for the share!!
Nice I will put that on my list I have that same radio !
That looks to be a nice option for an antenna, but don't forget that in some situations you want an antenna that transmits a shorter distance rather than a longer one.
What realistic situation would you not want more range?
Same energy as 'my wife happens to like small PPs'
@@theguy9208 lol
@@theguy9208 You don't always need people 5 miles away to hear what you have to say to the guy who is a half mile away. It's also worth mentioning that the lower the output power the harder it is to use to locate you. Hopefully that never ends up being a concern, but it's worth keeping in mind.
This is a stellar setup
yes when I purchase my radios I purchase the extra long flexible but you're correct I can't use the magnet base because I drive an f250 unless I come up with something clever
British Naval Connector used in consumer and medical equipment used for cabling. Especially on CCTV/Security systems.
Work in IT and bought many Coax to BNC adapters.
As you stated, the mag-mount needs to be attached to metal or it will not work. The metal ground plane completes the antenna.
Fun fact: when you use a handheld radio with a whip antenna, the water in your head acts as the ground plane. The antennas in cellphones act the same way.
You can save a few bucks by ordering the signal stick antenna directly from signalstuff, the manufacturer, and specify an SMA female base. That eliminates the unnecessary BNC adapter and the markup.
Communication is such an overlooked thing but so vital
The entire care does NOT become an antenna. It becoms a grown plane.
I've got a walkie talkie set. I carry one with me and leave the other in a bag on my front tire with a note on my windshield to use it if I'm not back by a certain date when I go back country hiking.
I also picked up the 28-020-128 battery adapter that allows the baofeng to run off 12v in the vehicle
Badass info as usual 👍
Rocking the rolex and a Seiko
For use in a vehicle, it would be good to find some sort of dash/center console mount for the walkie talkie, plug in a mic, and you;'re golden. I wonder if one of the mounts meant for a smartphone would work.
A CB radio already designed for vehicles would be a simpler install and have much better range and clarity.
"Before he shits them out to his customers"
For not much more you could run a dual-band COMPACTenna, incredible performance.
The Singal Stick antenna Cody has IS dual band at least for 2m/70cm. It's also made from a metal that that you can coil like Cody did and bend etc without damaging ialthough the signal may not be optimal if you transmit with the anrtenna bent.
And I believe has been designed specificaly for hand helds - to take into account the capacitance of the human holding the radio.
A lot of hams use them. and consider them to be pretty good.
Two watches? Two times the fun!
button up that shirt playboy lmaoooo
I’d use all of this but use the Japanese made Yaesu FT-60. Built like a tank. I own 4 BaoFengs just like he has. What I love about the Yaesu and slightly more expensive radios is that it auto adds the offsets for repeaters. Much nicer than using an app or manually inputting them. Food for thought.
GunfreakNation Salute Good Sir! 👍🏼💪🏽😎
Sweet set up
2 watches must be a west coast thing!! Lol😂
Drinking milk gives me the fizz 🤣
As you were doing the closing of this video, I was looking at the steel structure of the building behind you. Maybe a good antenna placement on the top?
Both Evan and SOE class acts, for the price points, Evans radio mods are one of the best investments you can make
If you run the poor man's vehicle set up, foam pipe insulation if a pool noodle can fill the gap if you run the cord out a window. Works for an expedient generator set up if you need to run cords through a window as well.
My vehicle is aluminum.
By just upgrading the antenna to a longer one, I have extended the range of my Baofeng from 25km (standing on a rooftop, but still in a city, no tall buildings) to 50 km. 50km is all the data I have, but I bet it can go even further. Those little 5W radio's are dirt cheap, but still amazing! A longer VHF/UHF antenna is an absolute MUST for these radios.
What model
@@C_C_exe UV-5R. Using a 37.5cm antenna.
If you have an aluminum Ford just glue a pie pan to the roof and solve the magnetic base not sticking problem. Also in an emergency you could catch water in the pie pan although the oil pan might be better for that.
Baoifeng use "Reverse-SMA" FYI.
great video
I was just about to comment on recent videos about your antenna I saw.
And now I’ll show what a Proho does after he’s burned all his toilet paper. 😂
I would like to see a professional nomad. I have been tinkering with some bicycle 2 stroke stuff I think they will be the best mode of transportation when things go bad.
0:47 the "quarter turn" professionally known as ; BNC connector ( "Bayonet Neill-Concelman" connector)
What sort of range could one expect from such a radio setup (roughly speaking!)? Also what sort of channels can you tube into with that - any special bands?
As far as the eye can see, depending on variables, including how good your eyesight is, a bit farther maybe.
Browning antenna with a 10 meter radio, like a galaxy will get you over 20sq miles of crystal clear talk and receive even further but it’s not cheap lol
A mile orso
I like those better than the 152 but had coms issues with both at close range. Coms are always touch and go.
The 152 is a better radio all around
Listen accordingly
That's called "ground planing " your antenna.
But not all designs require a GP, such as a half wave.
@@vortexan9804 true.
Is started my networking career with coaxial and BNC connectors. Should have keep a few.
I just spent a week in Yellowstone and realized the sad state of my cheap radio setup. Gonna upgrade by year's end.
Flip the oil pan over. You don't want that much of your antenna below the lip of your ground plane.
The flat surface of the vehicle roof creates a large ground plane for the antenna, helping direct the signal out in the horizontal plane.
If it wasn't for you I would not have bought my own personal radio. Me and my friend volunteer for red cross at my school and he is planning to buy his own personal radio but he has no one to use it with unless I buy one I was hesitant at first but I did not realize that you made a few videos praising the UV 5r so I bought it and did not regret buying it even if it costs a months allowance.
What we're seeing here is someone slowly going down the rabbit hole of becoming a ham radio operator.. 1 year from now.."how to drill an NMO mount in your dual alternator truck" :). I really like the BNC adapters from Diamond.. they are black and blend in a bit more.
Has anyone in Canada ordered from Radio Made Easy and if so, any issues with shipping or customs?
Born and raised on the west coast and I've never heard anyone pronounce it antanna.
😂
I appreciate the link to radio made easy website, but specific links to which connector and other parts would be nice as there are several different connectors and things, and for a simple guy like myself it would really help.
If they only knew
love soe gear
Cool!
I got a make up kit just like that case…that will do!
2 watches, 0ne Pro Ho time
One USFS time
Act accordingly
You can never be late when you wear 2 watches
I don’t like adapters. Every time there is a break in the coax there WILL be signal loss. Also, EMI if the shielding isn’t up to par.
finally, the 80's are back! bnc connectors and magnet antennas on your car. gimme my bag phone and I'll be set!!
Nice
I would put a few zip ties in that pouch just for extra antenna issues inside the vechical.
Signal Stuff has a cold weather variant of their Signal Stick as well. Though wrapping the regular one in electrical tape or a long piece of heat shrink might help it keep its shape, too.
It's wild to see how their NMO mobile antenna reacts to 0* F
Yeah nitinol is a wild material. I used to help make those antennas in a garage and its been fun to see over the years how much thicker we've been able to make those antennas so they stand up better in cold weather. The proceeds help support @hamstudy so totally look them up!
A little steel plate with good double sided tape is the easy win.
Where do I learn everything i should before i order the BAOFENG BF-F8HP? It says no license to receive, Amateur Individual License
Throw the signal stick on an swr meter. They fall short on one of the ham bands. I think it's the 2m band. The Nagoya NA-771 is much better. Low swr on both bands. Also, the magnetic mount doesn't turn your whole car into an antenna. Get a Tram 1181 and an SO-239/sma female adapter and be done with it. Good all around antenna. Uhf/vhf/gmrs.
Mr. W,
I know that I might be late to the game on this as you’ve probably covered it (and I haven’t yet been caught up on all your content), but why do you use two watches?
Already have that set up in my truck . But thanks for sharing.
Replace baofeng with motorola, You will be amazed how high quality old motorolas are!
Smiling!
Got about 5 of those radios and people bad mouth them all the time in the Ham Radio world. Been a ham coming up on 50 years and if it works don't knock it.
The radio is so cheap it's a throw away and buy another one for 30 to 40 bucks. Got one of the first ones from china years ago and it still works fine.
