Radio is a powerful tool in the prepping world...thanks Dave, very interesting video indeed

I've been a ham for 15 years and love the technology side of it. It's a huge rabbit hole to fall down. Just wait until people find out you can send text messages in APRS via the radio too.

Who cares about kickback , your evolving and we are thankful that your bringing us along for the lessons , thanks Dave!

Thanks Dave 73 AB7RR Bob God Bless America Let's GO Brandon

I didn't even know that could be possible to do something like this without internet! You keep sparking interest all over the world, thank you brother!

You're inspiring me to take my radios out of storage and start experimenting again. I've been a licensed amateur since the late 1970's but have been mostly inactive for quite some time. Thanks for the videos. DE KM9U

I have to say that I have not been a fan of the Radio Videos (not my wheelhouse,) but I have to admit that watching these videos has made me realize that I am using some of the skills that Dave teaches. Learn something new every day and remain teachable! Great Content my Friend!

Dave I have really enjoyed this video series. Grid down coms are really important in my book. I am constantly trying to learn new things. I appreciate everything you do brother!

You're continuing to move forward, absolutely awesome.

I have wanted to get my HAM radio license for a long time. Another reason! Really enjoying this series. I used to be an Operations Specialist in the Navy and have missed operating radiotelphones.

I like the radio videos and I've learned from them. Some people will not appreciate comms until they don't have them. I'm a licensed ham and gmrs operator. I'm sitting in the shack as I type with a bunch of radios on and watching videos.

I like your ham radio vids.Never hurts to learn new things! Thanks Dave!!!!

*David Canterbury* Absolutely amazing, thank-you sir for taking the time to show us. God Bless.

Radio is a very useful and amazing resource, it very well may be the only line of communication for some people at some time. Keep on keeping on Dave

A lot of people don't understand that ham radio is a vital tool for information and communication when other means of communicating and gathering information is down. Also, a lot of people still think you have to learn the morse code to get a ham license, which is not the case. There is some study material that has to be reviewed before taking the test. I have been a ham radio operator since 1996. I know for a fact how useful it is, I have lived through it. Nothing major, but it was a useful tool during a blizzard here in WV when power was out for a week for me to keep in contact with friends. I was able to get supplies to my home when I couldn't get out with my vehicle to get the supplies needed. Don't worry about what others say, radio is a useful tool for survival type scenarios and when I go to the woods I carry my handheld with me all the time. Not as good as having an HF rig, but it still a valuable tool to have. Great video. Juddie - WD8WV

Dave! Outstanding ................. 👍👍

Never underestimate the power of 2 cans and a string in a survival situation.

I've been a HAM for a few year and enjoy your enthusiasm getting into the radio videos. Nice setup! I use a Yaesu FT891 mounted in the vehicle, swapping the sticks per band. K4TXN 73

Dear, David, I myself am a signalman by military specialization, Head of a radio relay station, (I can’t divulge further about which station about the secrecy of the army of Belarus) and I love and respect communications and signalmen ... But still, when I see you in the dense forests and impenetrable wilds. I myself go hiking in the forests of Belarus (you can watch these videos on my channel) and I love this type of recreation, relaxation not of the body? But of the soul... With love from Belarus!

David, this all depends on having POWER and people or relays close enough. If your serious about this as a useful tool then your circle of contacts and/or relays need to also be running solar panels with battery banks for grid down situations.

Thanks Dave, another excellent video.

Really good video Dave, I too enjoy various interests.

Great video Dave that’s something I got to get into I know the good ones are probably priced pretty high. I was using small computers back in the late 90’s that communicated over RF. They were hit and miss for signals so we had back up modems in them you just plugged it into someone’s land line. Wow I’m old I was a technician for sear. hand held terminal is what they called them. Stay safe brother

Good stuff Dave, critical key for getting information in and or out during periods with standard comms.

I had no idea! I want to learn more now. Thank you.

Thanks for the video. Got all set up last night

I came for the Dave Canterbury, stayed for the radio email. 73! KQ4MNL

I really need to get off my butt and tackle Winlink. Thanks for another great video.

Great information Dave. Like you I try to learn new things all the time. I am working on my HF License and playing around with SDR technology, which was inspired by you. Thanks again and keep your videos

They should be interested in radio. When I worked at DHS, we would send emails between parties without any email servers. We also use satellites to connect to email servers in other parts of the country.

I don't have to think about that. I have been involved in IT for some time and I once met Vinton Cerf and if you don't know who he is look him up (yes, I am shameless name dropper). This technology was developed for the Defense Department in case of Nuclear War. The idea was simple: How to keep comms up during a nuclear exchange. The concept of data transference predates even that. This concept of using radio to transfer data is even more important than using the Internet and Mr. Canterbury thank you for demonstrating this :)

Now that is cool! Thanks for sharing brother!

Awesome! Glad u found HAM!

Dave, great video and info, gotta love ADD!!!!!

Thank you and God Bless.

Interesting. Awesome video my friend

Wow! Wish we had a club around here so we could collect these items, learn and practice.

Thanks Dave, good to know subject. I had no idea.

That is a very interesting capability indeed! I did not know that was possible...

It's a great to use when out in the hills. Radio is a fun tool to have.

Your devious plan worked: I am now interested… I don’t have the equipment nor the knowledge of how to do this. But I am JUST smart enough to figure this could be VERY useful if SHTF.

Great video Dave!!! I'm at that level in my Bushcraft/prepper/homesteader journey, that i am getting into HAM. We just had that ice storm over here in Morgan CO. Some areas lost power 3-4 days and LOST CELL TOWERS as well. So i can see the definite advantages to this. keep up the good work man. you are the REAL deal👍👍😊😊

Please keep making radio videos, Dave. Been watching you for well over a decade and I'm going for my technician license because of you. If we ever need HAM to survive an emergency, the same folks that said they didn't care about radio will wish they'd paid attention. 73's!

I actually worked with tropospheric scatter radio systems. Limited range, but we could set up a network spanning several states with archaic technology. It’s cool to see it can be done with something portable.

This is very cool. Extremely useful.

I enjoy these films. Had no idea this was possible.

Love the radio videos. Somthing to consider maybe the use of cb radio as well. I know, the "chicken band". Truth is many people have them, they are relatively cheap and you dont need a license. Great to have if the grid goes down.

I appreciate how you've expanded into the radio world. It is just another tool for being self reliant!

Dave, great content. You and I go way back I've been watching your channel since you started. I love your radio series. I am glad you are always sharing something new to learn, my friend.

Thanks Dave. That was great!

Lots of Ham-Nerds would really enjoy this! I did!

That was pretty cool. Good information

I have liked these recent radio videos.

I love SW radio! If you want a fun vintage radio that's amazing, and just to listen, find you a Panasonic RF-2200. Best pickup on any radio going. The AM is outstanding. It's so well made for the time.

Didnt even know that was possible. Dave Canterbury covering all the bases.👍👍

This is pretty interesting. Thanks.

This is very interesting to me, I had no idea you could send or receive an email over ham radio. Thanks for the info.

That’s awesome very very handy tool

Dave how about a series on some longer term shelter? I'm not talking full log home but something that youd build to live in while you build the permanent log home.A 3 season shelter.

Thanks for that. ✌️👊

if you guys offered a hands on radio and emergency communications course I would totally take it

Great video as always Dave. Thanks!

Just found your site David, you got me interested!

Cool stuff. Glad you're sharing about radios.

Priceless video!

Great video Dave! I know I’m preaching to the choir but you will always piss someone off when a person is broadening there horizon

Fascinating. A primer to learn Ham radio.

Wow, that's cool! I had no idea it was capable of this.

Nice, very nice 👍

Thank you!

Great video. Thanks.

That was very interesting I did not realize how much things you can do with a radio I am very intrigued keep on the good work

This is really cool, glad to see you branching out into comms!!

Thanks for the information

Keep doing the radio videos. It is very relevant. I always enjoy your videos. Thank you for sharing.

You have adapted to HF quite well Dave. Thanks K7WHN

This is amazing. Important tool especially for those with family that are a few states away etc...

Radio is a part of self reliance. Thank you for the video!

Great to have someone I trust sharing this pertinent electronic information

Outstanding

I wonder how many prepers have died waiting and hoping for the world to end.

Had a friend/co workers do this years ago. But he used a kids laptop, one of those extremely cheap ones that only do basic learning functions. He rigged it up and sent him self an email through relays across the country and back. I was blown away.

Definitely interested in radios Dave. Keep up the good work. I'm stoked to see you get into ham. I've been wanting to for years but for whatever reason, still haven't gotten my technicians license yet. I'll get it this spring for sure. Have just been listening to the repeaters so far. Keep the videos coming man.

Wow!! Thank you for this info, I am going to pass this along. -Judah Out✊🏾

I’m glad to see you are getting into radio . I’m not into the HF stuff so much. All that is more advanced then what I’m doing. I’m mostly into GMRS. The Ham radio is my second learning on radio now.

Congrats on getting your general last year David

Thanks for the great vid.

I always wanted to be a radio head......but when radio shack went under so did that dream lol

👏👏👏👏👏👏🤜🤛

Hey Dave, first love the radio vids. Second, if youre going to do more videos using your laptop you might want to take a look at OBS. Its a free screen capture software so anyone can read what you are showing. Im starting in eletronics repair school soon, soldering the little'est of components etc so the radio thing fits right up my alley!

I’m starting to learn ham radio too, I want crash course as well. It’s cool to see crossovers between prepping hobbies

People may be interested to know that you can also send peer to peer within a reasonable distance in a total grid down situation, enjoying the videos

Hello from British Columbia Canada 🇨🇦👍❤️👋

Love learning new stuff.

David, everything comes with experience regardless of your license class. The basics of winlink date back to the 70's with packet radio.with the advent of easy to use operating systems this technology has become user friendly for those without a great deal of computer savvy. There is a huge array of low power digital applications for ham radio today and it doesn't take much computer knowledge to use any of them. To my knowledge no one has ever started college on Monday and was ready to graduate the same Friday.

I heard of this, as well as the satellite devices that allows your phones to sends SMS texts as well as email

Definitely something to think about. Thanks

Hello. I would like to say I really appreciate your videos, and everything you bring to our community. I see a lot of outdoor survival but what I don't see is survival on or around the water. Meaning survival items to have on a boat, products and techniques to make ocean water drinkable. Along with other survival items and techniques for survival at sea. Say for instance you are on one if the great lakes, or way out a few hundred miles from shore and all of a sudden something happens. Or you are way out and before you get back a natural disaster hits land where you are going.

Awesome

Dave, thank you for sharing, because of you and your videos, it has sparked or renewed an interest in Ham Radio, yep, I got the same handheld radio and book, I'm currently studying for my technician's license, one day soon I'll give you a shout, any tips you have i will greatly appreciate. Take care, stay safe and God bless you and your Family always.
