One of the things that really bugs me about all of these newer radios with the fancy screens is that they can make the VFO mode numbers nice and huge, but when you switch to channel mode they have these tiny little letters that are almost impossible to read. Why can’t they just make them big like the other ones???

Big difference in this radio and the BTech GMRS PRO, this one transmits on all VHF and UHF frequencies. The BTech is a GMRS only radio. Can’t any of these Chinese companies produce a radio with the map screen right on the radio like the Garmin Rino ? Can’t wait till they accomplish this feat.

I have a few expensive radios but only use them at home or on vacation. I have 31 “cheap” Chinese radios in a little collection that I use on a daily. It’s fun to pick a different radio to mess around with on my way out the door to start my day. Then when I get home I spoil myself. The radio I carry along with whatever I pick out is the HAG1 as I use GMRS too. It’s taken a beating but still works great.

Does it appear to find a GPS location without the app connected, and if so does it take a long time to find its position? Hayden VK7HH said in his overview of the radio that the GPS position didnt fix until after his phone was connected, but that he couldnt tell if that was just the radio taking a long time to obtain a satellite lock.

@evanduffy1015 Ай бұрын

Dang this looks cool! I've been looking for a cheap HT that does APRS beacon and messaging, I might pick one up but my only concern is that the app is the ONLY way to program it (besides the keypad). If the developer of the app ever goes under or stops updating the app then that would stink, hopefully in that scenario someone else can make a workaround. But anyways I'd love to see a demo of the APRS features more in depth! (I'm also curious about any spurious emissions and RX/TX filtering)

((One of my pet peeves.) Why say call sign and "for ID"? FCC gave us a call sign for ID! No need to say "for ID" because when we give our call sign we all know it is for ID. Speak clear, BRIEF and to the point.)) Cool Radio, thanks.

@temporarilyoffline Ай бұрын

Yeah, Its the local custom here man, just being respectful. Also, the KZfaq police get on me if I don't ID when I'm on the radio. Dif'rent strokes

@grebulocities8225 Ай бұрын

Because when you've been chatting with 5 or 6 other hams on the local repeater and then realize that nobody has identified for the last half hour, giving your callsign and adding "for ID" makes everyone else realize the same thing and give their callsign, causing everybody to be within a factor of 3ish of following the law. If you don't say "for ID", many of them won't realize why you said your callsign and will continue going on without identifying. Not that the FCC is actually paying attention, mind you. It's also not that, if it were, it would care about the difference between not identifying for 30 vs. 60+ minutes. But it seems to correct some sort of minor imbalance in the universe. ;)
