Rapid radios makes them for your car.

Thanks for this video. I’m interested in learning more about the POC phones and UHF combinations.

Then you have a shiny paperweight unless you register the device with another PTT service provider.

this is why a lot of people prefer zello. even when all official zello servers goes down, there are publicly available unofficial servers usually ran by universities. But it's only really because you can buy your own on-prem server and you can do whatever you want with it

High chance there's already being a open source server made

That's a great point actually mate: the digital cellular framework is overworked, and doesn't have 100 percent reliability or resilience. Then again, nothing is 100 percent, but normal VHF comms performance is always going to be a direct reflection of the operator's experience, competencies, kit and, of course, the good old weather... I'm with you on this one... 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍

Thats people placing bets by mobile phone on betting exchanges. Not a lot of data but a huge number of phones connecting at one mast. I notice our local racecourse had a giant mobile phone added near it recently.

Always assume they are.

Thats excatly what i thought too, i wouldnt trust the chinese or anybody else for that matter, i'll stick with my uhf radio....

The only way they could be snooping your traffic, would be the same way anyone else does. Whether it's the Chinese or the NSA - all of your data is being collected. It's just the way it is these days unfortunately. ALL of our data is being scrubbed. Going cellular like this? Digital scrub through the networks. Analog radio? Anyone can hear you voice, and scrub your data if you're sending packets. It's all the same.

Good point... I think in SHTF situations, we'd probably lose the digital cellular networks anyway, so I'd be sticking to my good old, fully leaded VHF-type kit. Repeaters should still be areet too... Failing that, we could fall back on the old tin can and bitta string... 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Can you imagine how many companies might like to use this in a warehouse situation? I guess those people go with some of the other options or maybe they will release a WiFi version.

So we use them for equipment setup where sometimes we need to work with people in the office back home. Home could be another state, or country. We use them to have quick discussions where a text won’t work but a phone call is inconvenient

With good network signal strength there’s milliseconds in it really

@@RingwayManchester Thanks. I've tested cell to land line and there is a bit of a delay. However, this is cell phone to tower to land line connection to land line phone where the PTT would be PTT to tower to PTT if in the same cell.

Being safety critical you should only use two-way radios designed for professional use and on frequencies allocated for crane operations. The site safety officer would refuse to issue a permit for work, and your insurance would be void. The latency will be less than the crane operators response time, unless the network is overloaded, which is outside your control.

Well what do you think it means?

@@RingwayManchester it may be clear to you because you know the subject matter, but I have not a clue. Does it mean you get a paid SIM?

What don’t you get?

I can never see any links in the description for these things

@@therowans1748 Same Same - I often never see links, that the video producer says will be put in the description. I wonder if KZfaq deletes them if they are not links to products that also buy Google advertising?

Exactly

@@RingwayManchester awesome, thanks for teaching!
