with you. You guys are gonna love this. Y'all are
gonna love this. You're gonna absolutely love this because of
how much I make fun of Mac. I had to
reinstall I didn't have to. I've reinstalled Windows because people
that think I love Windows, I actually love hate Windows.

(03:03):
I reinstalled Windows, got it myself a bigger hard drive,
had some problems with well, Windows did an update, and
of course it tore everything up, because that's never happened before, right,
So I reinstalled Windows yesterday and started putting obs back on,
resetting everything up, put zoom back on. So and I

(03:24):
was hoping that the computer did not catch on fire
tonight when I went live. Oh, it wouldn't be a
live stream unless something went wrong. But so far, so good.
So you guys, let me know how the audio sounds.
Windows is already it's already turning my freaking volume down.
Oh you gotta love this operating system that thinks it's

(03:44):
smarter than you are. Hello, here we go there, you go,

a properties. Yeah, it's doing something something weird. Hey, Glenn,

Speaker 1 (10:33):
Hmm. Well, like like I can turn it up and
then it like immediately turns itself back down. Usually it
doesn't do that immediately on the on the other version.
It didn't do that immediately, just kind of did it
every now and then.

They don't try to process the audio? That was That
was something that came around during COVID when all these
musicians were trying to make albums together. Remote.

Speaker 7 (12:41):
All right.

Speaker 4 (12:42):
You know what, there's some background noise in your audio now,
like the air conditioner or something. You get your air
blown in the background.

this setup which I was trying to get working A
couple of hamsticks and a test thing that I wanted
to play with, and I can't get them the tune,

(13:41):
and I don't know why they can't. Like when I
do the sweep, it's either nothing, nothing is available, nothing resident,
or it's resident on two meter. I'm like, but this
is a six meter hamstick.

Speaker 1 (13:57):
Well, yeah, it is what it is, I guess.

gives me a reason to drink, so I don't drink
at home alone, but since I have friends on camera,

receiver SDR receiver.

Speaker 6 (18:11):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (18:11):
So and it did, and it did, it worked, it

I tinkered with it. I was listening to the airplanes
here next door to at DFW with it.

Speaker 6 (18:24):
So does it use the the rt LSDR driver or
does it have its own?

Speaker 1 (18:31):
It's got its own driver. In fact, I had to
email them and get it because Windows wouldn't read it.
They sent it to me, so, but yeah, it has
its own driver. Y.

Speaker 6 (18:43):
Interesting.

Speaker 1 (18:44):
Somebody was asking in the chat about nitning a fifty
foot run of coacts for forty meters. Absolutely, Messi and Plony.
Mezzi and Plony is awesome stuff. ABR is very good
coax too. If you want stuff that's made in the USA,
Messi and Plonies from Italy. But I've outfitted pretty much
my whole hamshack and my truck with Mezzi and Ploniko

Speaker 2 (19:46):
A pretty good deal on those Palomar engineers Walwart. All right,
if I it's a ten pack for twenty four bucks,
wrap your power cables into that.

Speaker 1 (19:57):
Oh yeah that's pretty sha forty apiece.

Speaker 4 (20:01):
Yeah it's on page.

Speaker 5 (20:03):
Jeff, Yeah, thank you. I'm just you can miss something
if you're not paying attention. I mean, yeah, yeah it does.

Speaker 6 (20:12):
I remember if you take a minute to like, uh,
look at something, and you're gonna miss it.

Speaker 1 (20:20):
Yep, yes, indeed, Okay.

Speaker 6 (20:27):
An arrow antenna.

Speaker 1 (20:30):
There you go. Rob. I did one of my videos
I did for thirty days at him Radio was if
you guys saw it, It was getting on some two
meters sideband and uh talking to some guys around the Metroplex.
There used to be the sidewinder on two Net used
to be at eight pm on Wednesdays and they'll probably

(20:51):
started again soon, but they don't have a net control
operator right now, so they call it the Chaos Net.
So a bunch of guys get on there and is like, yeah,
it's chaos because nobody knows where to point. They're antenna's
because they all hes in directional yaggy. So I put
I put the dual band cushcraft on my gigabarts fifty
foot carbon fiber mast unobtainedum these days and uh and

(21:14):
stuck it up about twenty twenty two feet in the air,
and I was talking all I talked to a guy
down in freaking like somewhere outside of Ennis and uh
one guy that was out by Cedar one guy at
he was, I forget the name of the town. He says,
I'm right next to Cedar Creek Lake. I'm like, oh,
that's cool. Ninety seven seventy watts. So it was that

(21:34):
was that was fun. I enjoyed that. I'm gonna be
doing some more of that.

Speaker 6 (21:38):
So, yeah, I think everyone's so used to pointing at Bridgeport, right,
they don't right?

Speaker 1 (21:44):
Correct? Correct? Yeah, well Bridgeport. Well, so the sidewinder and
two net was run by Bob W five f can
he's actually a decator. This is a different net. Yeah,
this is a different net than the Friday night FM
simplex net that is every week. Uh yeah, let's say
I think both of them are every week. So uh
so I might try to do some if I'm home

(22:08):
in time. I might try. In fact, that that simplex
net the net control for that uh six five eight
simplex net on Friday nights. It doesn't it go for
like several hours.

Speaker 6 (22:21):
Oh yeah, yeah, that thing will that thing will uh
go for hours?

Speaker 1 (22:27):
Yeah, I'll I might try I've got plans for dinner
tomorrow night. After I get home, I might try to
fire that up and kind of point it up towards Springtown. Now,
my my antenna's hung horizontally, so I don't know if
that's gonna I don't know if those guys are talking
vertically or horizontally, because you lose like a lot of

(22:50):
dB gain if you're if you cross, if you cross,
polarize them. But I don't know. It might be worth it.
We'll we'll see, Uh, we'll see what happens.

Speaker 4 (23:00):
I would I'll go horizontal.

Speaker 1 (23:04):
Well, it's horizontal right now. It's sitting in the backyard
right now.

Speaker 6 (23:10):
Yeah, I'm close enough I can. I can get into
that on a vertical. But that's just because of my proximity.

Speaker 1 (23:19):
Yes, yeah, you're like, yeah, you're close, and I've gotten
into it on a vertical from the hunting lease before.

Speaker 2 (23:24):
Yeah, I checked in.

Speaker 1 (23:26):
I've checked in a couple of times the hunting lease.

Speaker 7 (23:28):
So yeah, I'd like to shout out Bob in the chat.

Speaker 10 (23:33):
He says, uh pass his technician in general on Saturdaday.
He already got his call sign yesterday and he made
his first contact HF today. That's how you hand radio gentlemen.

Speaker 1 (23:44):
There you go. Thank you, Yeah, thank you for sharing that, Bob.
That's great. Congratulations. Always like to hear that.

Speaker 6 (23:58):
Question out there. KA two A U B asked what
size battery I use of my satellite rig? Just a
three empower and I can I can get probably seven six,
seven passes, ten minute passes on it, certainly enough to
cover all day.

Speaker 1 (24:20):
And yeah, and you're not running max power fifty watts.

Speaker 6 (24:25):
No, apparently that's I've heard fifteen.

Speaker 1 (24:27):
Yeah, apparently that's a big no no to pump fifty
watts into the satellite.

Speaker 7 (24:31):
So you don't want to do that.

Speaker 1 (24:33):
That's rid good to know. Did you see that contestation,
Rob that I did a video about I did.

Speaker 5 (24:47):
That's insane.

Speaker 1 (24:48):
That was freaking insane.

Speaker 7 (24:50):
What where was that?

Speaker 1 (24:52):
Down by Talita ben Lake on the right on the
edge of Texas, Louisiana. It's it was, uh, that was insane.
They had hold on. They had one, two, three, four, five,

(25:13):
six actually they had six, five or six follow the
Sun antenna. They had him on. They had antenna arrays,
six antenna arrays that were on a rotor, and they
would set up to follow this follow the moon, and
they would just go and it would follow the moon

(25:35):
all day long. And we started following the moon at
like I think it was like eleven or eleven thirty
at night, and it followed the moon until like eleven
am the next morning, and it's just it's kind of like,
you know, like all night long. It would just kind
of do this and I'm like, that is the coolest
freaking thing I've ever seen. Was awesome, So that that

(25:55):
was fun. They did a lot of moon bounce on
U six meters two meters to twenty moon bounce. That
was fun to see four thirty two and twelve ninety six.
They had a dish for twelve ninety six. So that
was Uh, that was that was it. I had one
guy commented on my video just like an hour ago,
an hour before the stream started. He's like he goes, well,

(26:17):
I'm gonna need a bigger backyard, Like yeah, you and
me both brothers. Uh. It wasn't a rotatable well, I
guess it was kind of a It wasn't really a tower.
It was more like an array. I guess maybe it
was a rotatable tower. Actually, one of the guys I
was down there, I was like, so does this because

(26:38):
they were talking about they had some arrays that were
pointed some six meters some two meters arrays that were
just mounted on the on the halfway up the tower
and just pointed. Some pointed west and some pointed north.
And they basically said, this one's pointing towards the Houston area.
This one's pointed towards DFW area. And uh. And I'm like, oh,

(26:58):
so the tower didn't rotate. He It's like, you know what.
It's funny but I didn't even know there was such
a thing as a rotable tower until like three months ago.
And I'm like, oh, yeah, I've seen rotable towers. They
are not they are not cheap. But I mean, these
these guys spend a lot of money anyway, So oh
my goodness.

Speaker 6 (27:17):
Hey, it's nice to see the FtM one fifty R,
not the ASP model, but the R under three hundred bucks.

Speaker 1 (27:25):
Look at that two eighty nine. Oh yeah, yeah, that's
a uh that's a good satellite rig, isn't it. Rom
It's full duplex.

Speaker 6 (27:35):
It is. But you've only so your power settings are
five watts, twenty five watts, and fifty watts, so it'll
certainly do it. I still prefer the twenty seven thirty
because it's five watts, fifteen watts, and fifty watts, so
twenty five watts is still.

Speaker 1 (27:54):
Maybe a little much, Okay, Yeah, okay.

Speaker 6 (27:58):
Especially when you're throwing with a with.

Speaker 2 (28:01):
A yagi, right right right, gain with a yagi.

Speaker 1 (28:04):
Sure okay, but it'll certainly do it, for sure, certainly
do it.

Speaker 2 (28:16):
Two hundred feet of messy and Poloni Flex seven for
one hundred and twenty five bucks is a good deal. Whoever,
whoever did that sixty dollars off or that's pretty good.

Speaker 7 (28:28):
There's two things I kind of see interesting. I'm looking
for a new chair.

Speaker 10 (28:31):
They have the goog Cougar hot Rod Royal chair for
twenty dollars off.

Speaker 7 (28:37):
There was also a ya zu Ft eight ten D
four hundred dollars off.

Speaker 1 (28:45):
I saw that? Is it one on one D? Wouldn't it?

Speaker 7 (28:52):
Can't find it right now, but it's it's the D version.

Speaker 1 (28:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (29:02):
Gosh, when you got that little six meter a linko,
I love those.

Speaker 1 (29:05):
Little Yeah those are linkos great radios. Yeah.

Speaker 6 (29:08):
Yeah, the single band, the Linko radios. I've got a
I've got the two meter, I've got the two twenty yep, yeah, yeah,
those are great little radios.

Speaker 1 (29:17):
I've got two or three two twenties. I pick them
up at Hamfest when I find them used. And those
make excellent all Star nodes because they have a dB
twenty five on the back. Ah.

Speaker 6 (29:28):
Nice idea there you go.

Speaker 1 (29:30):
Yeah. Yeah. The one guy I know, I know a
guy that's built a win Link gateway out of the
two meter one and and a lot of guys that
use that, that two twenty one. If you want to
get two twenty all Star, that's probably the best way
to do it.

Speaker 4 (29:48):
So I am seeing. Oddly enough, it seems like there's
a lot more computer and three D printing supplies mm
hmm that are in there. Let's make a deal. I've
seen last you.

Speaker 3 (30:01):
Sure are going to see a lot of that. We've
got some really good product lines coming in. You know,
we've expanded it our selection. We've got you said, maybe
we have three D printers tank. You just commented on
some of the Cougar gaming chairs that we've got. You know,
there's there's a lot of opportunities for you guys to

(30:24):
to get into some of that as well. It's good
quality stuff. Just to speak on the furniture, it doesn't
represent well on our on our website here, and I'll
look into fixing it. But the the what we're calling
cougar gaming desks are actually electric sit stand desks, and
most of them are less than two hundred dollars. You

(30:47):
compare that like an uplift desk, you know, it's it's
a third the price. So I'd highly recommend looking at that.
And uh, you know, as far as the three D
printers are concerned, you uh, you're opened up a whole
new can of worms as far as a hobby goes.
You know, that'll supplement what you're already doing. And it's

(31:08):
fun in itself as well. Lots about.

Speaker 7 (31:12):
I saw a five hundred gig car drive I think
ten dollars off.

Speaker 3 (31:16):
Grab it while you can, because hard drive prices are
going up.

Speaker 4 (31:21):
They are. Yeah. I actually just bought my second printer,
my second three D printer. Yes, so I I look
at that.

Speaker 1 (31:34):
What's that?

Speaker 6 (31:35):
I was just gonna say, well played, guys. They put
the the two twenty Alenko up there for.

Speaker 1 (31:40):
Yeah, yeah, that's yeah.

Speaker 5 (31:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (31:44):
The two twenties. There, that's it. That's a good price
for it, brand new in the box.

Speaker 7 (31:48):
Yep I.

Speaker 1 (31:52):
Joe Brett join us on zoom Buddy. What was I saying?
I uh yeah, I want to get you know that
new U what? What's that new bamboo printer? The larger one?

Speaker 3 (32:04):
So two, there's the H two D which is a
dual nozzle, and then right this month they released the
H two S single nozzle.

Speaker 1 (32:14):
Oh okay, that.

Speaker 3 (32:16):
You got an extra large print bed. Right, it's less
than fifteen dollars. You may be able to do better
than that today if it's in the list there. I'm
pretty sure I saw it.

Speaker 1 (32:28):
They came out with that first HD two raged h
the first one, the HD model yeah, H two D. Yeah.
They came out with that one like a month and
a half after I bought my X one Echo from
you guys. I'm like, crap, that's because that's what I yeah,
because that's what I really wanted, was a larger print bed.

Speaker 11 (32:47):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (32:47):
I love the X one Echo. It is doing a
fantastic job. I've been doing a lot of printing on
the X one Echo. I put up a video about
it and it didn't really get much interest. But I
might do something else with it too. But people are
saying that the link doesn't work right. Well, somebody the
gigab deals dot gigaparts dot com. Somebody said it was

(33:10):
load loading slow. And then I said, well, we crashed
it last time, and then Joe Brett comes in there,
well you crashed it again today. So Joe Brett actually
crashed it. I think, I think, are you okay? Well,
it's it's fine. I've got it here on my screen
and it's doing real time refreshes. So if I recall correctly,

(33:30):
the last time, it was like existing sessions were fine,
but new sessions if someone just got here, might not
load correct. I don't know anyway, that's heads up for
you guys working in the background.

Speaker 6 (33:47):
Oh big nikon lens.

Speaker 1 (33:50):
Uh uh huh one O five F two point eight.
That's cool. Yep, I saw that. They see that yaz rotor,
that the medium duty rotor. I did, Yeah, that was
pretty cool down.

Speaker 6 (34:09):
I saw that. I saw that. Is that the one
I saw there was a different one? Oh no, I'm
thinking of the Intellotron one I was. I was checking
out at the store during the ham Fest.

Speaker 1 (34:25):
So the the Intellotron one would would work really well
on this new VHF setup that I'm doing now, because
those are made for lightweight antennas. You don't want to
put like a a three S on on that or something,
or even like a big heck speame on it. It's
probably not going to turn that. But uh but uh

(34:46):
vhf UHF yaggy be great for that, So I might
uh they've got that there for one I might have
to do that, make a video about it.

Speaker 6 (35:00):
That's a good deal there.

Speaker 1 (35:01):
Yeah, okay, explore a PoTA thirty three masts for one
hundred bucks.

Speaker 5 (35:11):
They had the thirty three h early on for one
hundred and seventy five. That's a steal.

Speaker 1 (35:18):
I used my thirty three masts two or three times
when I was in Galveston a couple weeks ago at
the beginning of September to do my thirty days of
ham radio. I used it at the beach for Beaches
on the air, and I used it at the park
for to do well. The very first day do parks
on the air, I put my oh no no, no now.

(35:42):
The third day another day I put my pack tent
on it and were held up held up very It
was not the HD version. I don't have that version.
I've just got the regular one. It held up great,
loved it. It was.

Speaker 4 (35:55):
I keep the APO to twenty, a PoTA thirty three
and packed ten ten meters masts in the truck at
all times to have with me.

Speaker 5 (36:06):
Good.

Speaker 4 (36:06):
You never know what you're gonna need, right, so I
keep that. Now, also have another PoTA twenty that I
keep that I can tick with me in a backpack.

Speaker 1 (36:15):
We were talking about this the other day. Hold on
a second, let me just try to pull up the website.
See uh bag, I wonder if you guys have this
in stock. Okay, this this sling right here, reserve yours
now ships in seven to fourteen. This is cool. I
keep this in my truck. It's got two spider beams masts,

(36:38):
it's got two seventeen foot push up stainless steel whips.
It's got my PoTA twenty, my Poda thirty three, and
it's got a military mast for the either chameleon and
or the tarry heel, little HP, a little pro HP antenna,
and it's got all of that. And then it's got
two pockets in the front of it. That is a
cool bag anyone wanting to. And then the ten of bag.

(37:00):
That is a really cool bag right there. So I
really I was poking around on Amazon looking because it's
eighty bucks normally and I already have one, So I
was poking around on Amazon looking for something like it
that is maybe less expensive. And that's how I found
that gable bag, that little tool bag, that roll up toolbag.
But this is quite two to two and a half
times the length of that gable bag. So this will

(37:21):
fit like your DX Commander, the DX Comander expedition mast,
and your spider beam. Like I said, I have the
spider beams. I think it's the nine meter and the
twelve meter. I think in that bag, the big, the
big round one. The's twelve meters that breaks down to
only like a foot and a half. It's all in
that bag. And I take that bag with me just
about everywhere when I'm on road trips. I love that bag.

(37:43):
Shared that link in the chat, so somebody make an
offer on that bag.

Speaker 6 (37:47):
Ah, So is that is that ud M SE still
a current device? I didn't realize. I mean that's been
around for a while. That's that's fantastic. That ubiquity that
d M s Oh is that that is that?

Speaker 7 (38:05):
That?

Speaker 2 (38:08):
Well?

Speaker 6 (38:09):
It does, it does, it does a little bit of everything,
right this he's got a built in.

Speaker 4 (38:15):
Oh yeah, Rob, No, it's it's I got one right
here in the rack.

Speaker 6 (38:19):
Yeah, I've got one as well. But I bought mine
like three years ago. I was kind of surprised that
it's still.

Speaker 1 (38:24):
A current, still still here.

Speaker 4 (38:26):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (38:26):
Yeah, I mean it's been a great device. I've been
real happy with it.

Speaker 1 (38:32):
Someone scared the hell out of Bill. Check him out.
Look at his hair.

Speaker 6 (38:36):
I know he's like he's got the kid in playing.

Speaker 1 (38:40):
That's right, Yeah, I want to do that's right. Yeah, Yeah,
what's up?

Speaker 7 (38:49):
Robert's looking for his bottle of whiskey?

Speaker 11 (38:51):
You guys, it's at your house?

Speaker 7 (38:54):
Is that Jason's?

Speaker 1 (38:54):
Actually it's at my house now?

Speaker 5 (38:56):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (38:57):
Is at my house? There there's two bottles of whiskeys,
not house. Well, hey, guess what I was supposed to
be at your house yesterday and someone I don't know
who someone it was today? It was today?

Speaker 6 (39:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 12 (39:09):
With reference to that, I followed Roberts rules.

Speaker 11 (39:14):
That's interesting. I followed Robert's rude rules.

Speaker 12 (39:19):
He said, yakashi or the sakura and those were original Japan.
And I even asked the guy, I said that these
blended or important. He's like, no, no, no.

Speaker 7 (39:30):
Here blended.

Speaker 2 (39:32):
How do they say that again?

Speaker 11 (39:33):
I want to hear you do it good, you do
it better than me. Man, He assured me. It was
And I read everything.

Speaker 12 (39:41):
I googled it, and it was that stuff is distilled,
distilled in Japan. It's Japanese, it's not mashed. And I
grabbed two bottles, and you.

Speaker 11 (39:54):
Know, a paining yen. I don't know yen from.

Speaker 12 (39:57):
Pass so the price, this is the way it ended up,
so I didn't. I just grabbed two bottles. Single malt
sounded more like a scotch to me. But I grabbed
a single malt and the one aged in sake burils.

Speaker 6 (40:15):
Yeah, that's the one I was interested in.

Speaker 4 (40:16):
Is it about tree fitting or tree?

Speaker 11 (40:19):
No, No, they weren't. One was it was like eight
and the other one was twenty four thousand.

Speaker 12 (40:28):
Works out to be like I sent Jason the receipt,
like sixty bucks and one.

Speaker 11 (40:31):
Hundred and something. Yeah, I didn't have yet.

Speaker 4 (40:39):
Did you have Did you have fasos on you?

Speaker 11 (40:41):
No? I did, but I didn't use them there.

Speaker 4 (40:45):
Well, I sug guess you go there enough that you
as will just hang on to the.

Speaker 11 (40:48):
Pesos Filipino pesels.

Speaker 12 (40:50):
Yeah, hold on to them because you get off the
airplane and like you want, you want cash in your pocket,
and the airport turncy exchanges charge a little bit more,
you know.

Speaker 1 (41:05):
So let me say something real quick, because this is
a good Dave, uh Dave, Timmycula. I'm not saying you're right.
I'm probably saying to Mecula, thank you for that brought
up a good point. I was going to, Uh, is
that Frank saying that? Because I know that's wrong. If
it's no you, it wasn't Frank. No, Yeah, to Mechula,

(41:27):
that was Jeff, wouldn't it.

Speaker 7 (41:28):
Yeah, I could say it now to Mechula.

Speaker 1 (41:32):
Yeah. So so that brings up a really good point.
Let's turn that off and turn that off something I
noticed now good? Bad?

Speaker 13 (41:40):
Right?

Speaker 1 (41:40):
Wrong, Ugly, I'm not saying I think this is a
good thing. Okay, look at this. I wanted to show
you guys this this calendar here. Okay, this isn't a
very informal calendar that the YouTubers and I keep. That
just kind of lets us know when when people are
doing stuff where and whatnot. So but I want you
to look at this.

Speaker 5 (41:58):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (41:58):
This is Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Whent, Thursday, Friday, okay, and
Saturday over here is kind of blank. Josh's stuff is
not on there. It used to be. I don't know
why it's not on there now, but anyway, So at
seven pm on Monday nights too has his ham Nuggets,
seven pm on Tuesday Nights's Clubhouse, seven pm on Wednesday
nights every other week is or w no ham Nations

(42:22):
at eight So seven pm on Wednesday nights is which
one is this? This is the Kid's table and seven
pm on Thursday nights. Car Cafe Noir and Hamshak TV
are both at seven pm those nights. And then just
recently Rob started a live stream on Friday nights, but
it's not till nine pm. So we have a Ham

(42:43):
Radio live stream every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday thirty almost every
day of the week. Of course, I'm on Sunday at
seven pm. Josh is on Saturday at seven and this
is these are tech these are Central times. Josh is
at seven pm Texas time on Saturday. I'm at seven
pm Texas time on Sunday. That's uh right now, yes,

(43:04):
but but we have a seven pm or eight pm
Eastern five pm Pacific live stream Saturday through Thursday every week. Okay,
so now you guys tell me because because I'm curious
about your about your thoughts on that. Is that good
or is that bad? That we have so much content

(43:27):
on YouTube now about ham Radio that we're starting to
collide into one another.

Speaker 6 (43:33):
This question, good question.

Speaker 12 (43:36):
There was a collision tonight, like I looked, so uh
this of course this pops up because it had to
happen now, but there's a car and then Josh was
coming out with some breaking news. It was all happening
at the same time. But generally, you know, that's all
I watch. I don't watch TV anymore, and let's start trek.

Speaker 6 (44:01):
So Bill, now you've got like multiple Ham Radio channels
that you can watch. I'm good on the same Yeah,
you know. It's it's like you can you can surf
right just like right right, like I'm used to on
the TV.

Speaker 4 (44:16):
Yeah, Bill's like I got to set my TV R
hang on.

Speaker 11 (44:18):
So yeah, that you know, they they fill in those
times with their video with their planned video thing. I
know it's got a name, but I can't think of
it so.

Speaker 12 (44:32):
Well about yeah, lead ups to the you know you
lead up to the different sort of bigger.

Speaker 4 (44:42):
Every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday nights, wading into the whatever
the eight pm or a pm Eastern seven pm Central
show where we're having creators. We do it in a
coordinated effort to premiere videos, so they're there, they stack up,
so they start and we put them in a playlist

(45:03):
and people can click on the playlist and it will
continue one video, one video right right into whatever the
eight pm right of the Central show is.

Speaker 1 (45:12):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (45:12):
I mean we're doing that on the Monday night streams
and some on the Sunday and we saw the usage
of that playlist drop dramatically to the point of hardly
anyone was using it. So that's why we stopped putting
that playlist together.

Speaker 11 (45:27):
You know.

Speaker 4 (45:27):
I think was that when when like COVID started to
break and people started getting out more and more. Now, Yeah,
and I think that's that's probably people are coming back
to the they're just coming back to their old old
ways of of that.

Speaker 1 (45:39):
And you know, I look at this, actually, I think
Monday Night and ham Radio started during COVID because everyone
was at home watching you YouTube.

Speaker 7 (45:46):
Well, yeah, that's why why it started.

Speaker 1 (45:49):
Yeah, but so so kind of it kind of got
too tedious there for a while.

Speaker 7 (45:52):
Also, yeah, you're telling me I was putting the list together,
so so.

Speaker 4 (45:57):
Part of what you know, like Bill was saying, I
don't watch TV anymore. Right, most people have moved away
from traditional TV for whatever reason, you know, and people
who are the most ham radio operators are of a
certain age level. And up where we grew up with
network program network TV eight pm every night, you had
a series of programs, you know, ABC, CBS, NBC put

(46:20):
programs together and people would sit down and watch most
of those shows and stick with pretty much one network
every night. And this is kind of the same thing, right,
So we're just we're finding content programming to put in
there and giving people stuff to watch.

Speaker 11 (46:37):
So what I was getting at is I don't see
a lot of collisiony built.

Speaker 12 (46:40):
Then again, maybe I'm blind to the collisions because I'm
set on what I'm watching.

Speaker 6 (46:45):
Well, I think we do a pretty good job of coordination, right,
but there are times when you can't really avoid it, right, And.

Speaker 7 (46:54):
A chance all that the time change.

Speaker 6 (47:00):
Oh yeah, yeah, the time change as well, so, you know,
I think that's another subject. By and large, everyone does
a pretty good job trying not to stump on each.

Speaker 12 (47:08):
Other, pretty good, look perfectly that I've been waiting on.
So Friday night's been the void for a long time.
And yeah, I'm glad you're there. Man, I'm there so
when I'm not.

Speaker 6 (47:21):
Working well and and I'm there because that was the
open spot, right and I was trying, yeah, I was
trying to to to stay out of you know, out
of the collision space, and it worked out. And I
mean I love it because you know, I'm usually up
late on weekends anyhow, so I might as well hang

(47:42):
out with with all my friends.

Speaker 1 (47:44):
Right. Well, Mike and I did a we did a
thing called late Shift on Fridays for a very short time.
We did it for like, I don't know, a month,
and it was well attended. It wasn't uh. I think
we started ours at eight. I want to say it
was eight, but but yeah, it's it's that's that seemed

(48:05):
to be a good night. I just up until now,
I didn't think anybody wanted to commit every Friday night
to that. But you know, it's good that.

Speaker 6 (48:14):
You're and that's one of the other reasons.

Speaker 2 (48:17):
Why it's later.

Speaker 1 (48:18):
Right, So right, yes.

Speaker 6 (48:20):
I started at nine o'clock and yep, you know we've
went for either four or five hours each each week
so far. So I imagine a lot of fun with it.

Speaker 12 (48:31):
I imagine traditional families and dating people of that age and
people who go out. Friday Night's probably not the hottest
ham radio night, but these are like me, who doesn't
go out.

Speaker 7 (48:49):
It's one of my cigar nights.

Speaker 4 (48:52):
My my kids. By ten o'clock, my wife, kids, everybody's
in bed.

Speaker 6 (48:58):
So that's another reason why it works for me as well.

Speaker 4 (49:01):
Right, yeah, yeah, you know I'm out here in the
in the building getting three sheets to win on some
yellow Hammer haunts fill native yellow Hammer Brewery beer.

Speaker 1 (49:16):
Uh okay. So so somebody asked the chatman, go, how
does this deal work? So there's a link at the
top of the chat it's deals dot gigaparts dot com
that brings you the page that I'm scrolling up and
down on. Right here you scroll at the top, you
make an offer over here on the right hand column name,
first and last name, email address, item skew, which you know,

(49:38):
there's your list of items skews. There it doesn't show
up in the pop up regular price and offer. Okay,
so just go out to Giga parts dot com, find
something you want, make an offer, and they will counter
with either they will either agree with your offer or
they will counter on your offer and make you and
come down as low as they can on it. So

(50:00):
not every offer is accepted, but they do counter and
it's going to be a lower price than what retail is.
So like, right now, there's an Icon battery BP two
seventy three battery. The offer was twenty dollars and they
came back at forty five sixty. So that's not a
great example. But this one right here, one right the
Yazu battery right below. It was offered to sixty five
and they accepted it two sixty five regular price of

(50:22):
three nineteen. So it really depends on the item, how much,
uh you know, how much margin there is in how
far they can discount and whatnot. Traditionally speaking, icon stuff
is not discountable because of Icon, but you know, kind

(50:42):
of everything else is fair game. Radios are hard to discount,
but you know, all this sess reason and whatnot are
usually pretty easy to guess discop.

Speaker 7 (50:49):
I've just seen some icon accessories popping up.

Speaker 1 (50:52):
Yeah, yeah, A sessries. Yes, I didn't say hi to Dave.
What's up, dude, how are you?

Speaker 6 (50:56):
What's up?

Speaker 1 (50:58):
How's it going? How's it going down there?

Speaker 6 (51:00):
Going pretty good?

Speaker 1 (51:01):
Good?

Speaker 14 (51:03):
Exercising the credit card over here?

Speaker 1 (51:06):
Uh huh yeah, Well this is all Poll's fault. He
paid off his credit card earlier this month, so we
had to do this again. So according to what.

Speaker 6 (51:15):
Somebody gets too quite you know what's going on down there?

Speaker 2 (51:19):
This is where I play the video bite that says
you're killing me smalls.

Speaker 6 (51:24):
Yeah, Damiel tell us about these nightcore flashlights.

Speaker 3 (51:31):
Nightcore flashlights, there's not really much better on the market
for the price. I've personally been using them for well
over ten years now. My favorite, I don't know if
they still make it, but it was called the P
twelve part of the Precise series is around one thousand
and twelve. Vet are lumens, and I have two of

(51:53):
them and they're still running today. They think eighteen six
fifty batteries and they're just reliable and and extremely bright.

Speaker 1 (52:02):
I've got a I've got a couple of them. I
really like him, Rob.

Speaker 6 (52:05):
Yeah, nice, you know, I'm liking this trend lights. I'm
liking this trend towards the flat ones real nice. Yeah,
putting in kits and pockets and they don't roll off
the table.

Speaker 1 (52:20):
Yes, right, true, true, all right. N five s k
T had a good question. I was actually asked this
at maybe at Huntsville. So this is a question for
for Daniel. Uh. He says he ordered stuff on the
last make it. Let's make a deal live stream, and
how do we track what is left to be shipped?

(52:41):
I have a several accessories for the ft X one
that have not shipped yet, and that's likely because Jesus
hasn't shipped them to you.

Speaker 3 (52:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (52:50):
So yeah, So is there a way to track and
look and see what might be pending from a from
a previous live stream?

Speaker 3 (52:57):
We certainly could. Yeah, if you can, just uh you know,
send our support team of a message or leave your
info in the chat there we'll follow up on that.

Speaker 1 (53:07):
Cool. Yeah, there you go.

Speaker 4 (53:09):
A lot of credit card number and phone number, yeah,
a lot.

Speaker 14 (53:14):
Of us patiently waiting for the asy stuff to ship.

Speaker 1 (53:17):
Yes, yeah, yep, so I can hook up that f
t X one F to an amp mm hmm.

Speaker 11 (53:30):
Every time I come on one of these. I'm like,
I don't need nothing else.

Speaker 1 (53:35):
Yeah, exactly, still corrected. Yeah, So a b R is
doing up some cables for the f t X one
and one of that. They're doing two different versions. One
will have and I'm not sure how long they are.

(53:56):
One will one will be like the regular just the
bolt cables to connect the ft X one field to
the amplifier, separate them. And then a second version they
have will have a tar heel controller cable built into it.
And I'm like, oh, that's freaking cool. So I uh,

(54:17):
probably maybe, I don't know. Possibly, I'm going to be
doing a video about that soon as soon as it's ready.
But yeah, they've uh, they've jumped on that bandwagon, so
that's pretty cool.

Speaker 4 (54:29):
Did I hear in October?

Speaker 1 (54:32):
Uh for for a b R. I don't know. Originally
the YAESU cables were supposed to be out in August,
I think because I was hoping they'd be here by
the Hamfest, but they still haven't dropped yet, so I
don't I don't know.

Speaker 11 (54:49):
Hey, Robert, when you mentioned that.

Speaker 12 (54:52):
Fowos SDR, yes, I wanted to tell you Tech Minds
did a couple.

Speaker 11 (54:59):
There's a couple Tech minds.

Speaker 12 (55:01):
I don't know anything about the artists, but tech mind
does and he did WU, so check him out.

Speaker 6 (55:10):
All right, if I go quiet, you guys know what
I'm doing.

Speaker 7 (55:14):
Yeah, all this here. We got a gigapart side saddle bag,
slean bag for six dollars.

Speaker 1 (55:22):
I see that.

Speaker 6 (55:23):
I know a little bag too.

Speaker 7 (55:25):
You're right.

Speaker 14 (55:27):
If that's the one that they had at the store
right when you walked in. I bought a bunch of them,
and they make great little bags for q rp rigs.

Speaker 1 (55:37):
Mm hmmm.

Speaker 7 (55:38):
That did you rig a T C coil cable? That's
a must have in your digital kit.

Speaker 2 (55:47):
Yeah, this guy got four or five of those small
backpacks are nice?

Speaker 1 (55:54):
Yeah, that one's good.

Speaker 7 (55:56):
Now what was that?

Speaker 2 (55:58):
You can try one of those night course.

Speaker 1 (56:00):
That's I I'm happy with the one i've got. Uh, well,
I've got two or three of them. But I've got
one of the I forget the name of it, the model,
name of it, But I've got one of those flat
pocket ones that has the little clip on you just
push it down like a pocket knife. That yes, yeah,
that's I've got one of those e DC I forget

(56:21):
which the which model it was, but yeah, they're good.
They're they're they're well made.

Speaker 4 (56:26):
So I h I got a headlamp, one of the
Nightcore headlamps based on what Josh's recommendation. And I like it. It's
is super nice, super bright, and it's and it's really light.
It's not a full strap, it's it's a couple uh
like a show.

Speaker 6 (56:42):
I remember that's that skeleton kind of thing.

Speaker 4 (56:47):
Yeah, it's yeah, it's it's it's great and light and
and it's nice when you're when you're out operating in
the dark. So I just turned I turned the red
light on and pointed down and.

Speaker 11 (56:59):
And you can never have too many good headlamps.

Speaker 1 (57:04):
True, that's true.

Speaker 11 (57:05):
The only way I can keep track of them and
have one hanging everywhere.

Speaker 1 (57:09):
Mm hmm. Yeah, I keep one hanging in my truck
all the time.

Speaker 4 (57:15):
I'm I'm impressed with the amount of Ubiquity gear I
see here in the in the list. I'm a big, big,
big fan of Ubiquity.

Speaker 1 (57:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (57:24):
Especially we're working to expand the selection there. It's a
high demand item. It's suitable for for business as well
as home users pursumers. It's good stuff.

Speaker 4 (57:34):
I would agree as a as a professional engineer, I.

Speaker 1 (57:38):
Agree, Rob, you're being asked in the chat, which he'll
contendent you're using.

Speaker 2 (57:45):
Uh it's the L five.

Speaker 3 (57:52):
Speaking of flashlights, we got something in I don't know
if it's on the on the feed, but it's it's
really cool. It's from company called d e X and
it's called the finger light, and it's a little flashlight
that actually fits on your finger like a ring, you
know how you know, if you don't have a kid
pull the flashlight for you. You know, it's pretty.

Speaker 1 (58:13):
Pretty Uh yeah, I think it's called the d e
X finger Light. Okay, I didn't see. I searched the
Active deals.

Speaker 3 (58:24):
Look up, look up T Y two zero nine to one.

Speaker 1 (58:30):
Uh that's it. Oh yeah, that's kind of neat, isn't it.
Yeah yeah, that would be kind of cool for working
on a computer or a car or whatever, you know whatever. Yeah. Yeah,
I just kind of points your hand out out. That's
that's neat. I like that.

Speaker 3 (58:51):
And the ring itself, it's it's flexible. It's like a
metal you know, band in it so it stays forever you.

Speaker 1 (58:58):
But it that's good.

Speaker 3 (59:01):
Okay, really really bright, really nice light.

Speaker 7 (59:10):
Talking about DC. I lost my EDC knife and I
need a new one. Any recommendations, what's your budget? See,
that's a good question. I like it to keep it
under forty because I have it for about six months,
maybe a year before he gets lost again.

Speaker 5 (59:31):
The first ones that come to my mind are like
spider Cow or.

Speaker 7 (59:35):
Kershaw and those in the past.

Speaker 5 (59:38):
Spider Cows might be a little bit more pricier than Kershaw's.

Speaker 6 (59:43):
I don't think any of those are in the forty
dollars range.

Speaker 5 (59:46):
No, yeah, right, I think I think those are most well.
Kershaw's are probably the most least expensive ones that I
know of that are fairly decent.

Speaker 1 (59:55):
I've been carrying a Kershaw for years.

Speaker 3 (59:58):
Most of those are made in the USA as well.

Speaker 5 (01:00:00):
Yep.

Speaker 7 (01:00:01):
The fingerlight just went on a deal. We were talking
about it. Also the lock picking set, Oh, that's pretty cool.
It comes with a trainer, uh lock. I think I
got that Zach training lock on another kit.

Speaker 3 (01:00:24):
Here.

Speaker 2 (01:00:25):
There's a bunch of piloting thing. There's yolks, joysticks, bases.
Who's building a US building like simulator at home?

Speaker 3 (01:00:36):
We got all the stuff to do it. Mosa Racing
is uh is who we primarily use for general driving simulators.
Got truck simulators, actor simulators, you know, Formula one, but
they just recently started getting into flight equipment and they've
got some really really nice quality rugged sticks as well

(01:00:58):
as yolks MS instrument clusters as well. I believe i've
seen turn one and stop.

Speaker 7 (01:01:06):
Back back the phone up for a second. You said
truck simulators, Like like like, uh simulator, yes, sir, yes, sir.

Speaker 13 (01:01:16):
You too.

Speaker 7 (01:01:18):
I just want the horn.

Speaker 1 (01:01:23):
Well that would do it.

Speaker 3 (01:01:25):
Let's see here, uh JS zero five seven to one
truck driving simulator bundle. Maybe we'll get it at it.

Speaker 1 (01:01:37):
Oh my goodness, look at the price on that lightsaber?
Is that the lightsaer? Oh that's the portable? That's not
the Is that the not that's not the lightsaber? Max?

Speaker 11 (01:01:48):
Is it?

Speaker 1 (01:01:51):
Light lightsaber? Portable? Solar charge is still almost as good though?

Speaker 7 (01:01:56):
Yeah, yeah, I got happy for a second I saw that.
I was like, oh yeah, someone in the chat says
train simulator.

Speaker 1 (01:02:06):
Train, oh, train simulator. They have a they have a
locomotive on display at the Mina Hamfest at that Queen
Wilhelmina State Park out there. Guys. Oh so it was
and they have a little small train that people can
buy tickets to and ride on that goes around the
whole park.

Speaker 7 (01:02:26):
Really where this.

Speaker 1 (01:02:29):
Mina ham Fest that I was at two or three
weeks ago when I did my Foggy Morning video.

Speaker 7 (01:02:33):
Yeah yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:02:34):
Yeah, Mina, Arkansas. It's only about four hours from here.

Speaker 7 (01:02:38):
That's not bad. Is that that train up all the
time or there was just set up.

Speaker 1 (01:02:43):
For no, it's my understanding is up all the time.
I mean obviously not during bad weather, but you know
if it's.

Speaker 7 (01:02:50):
You know where Frank's gonna go on a couple of weekends. Oh,
world tanks, get out of here, Get out of here.
A tank later, that's what you need, Daniel.

Speaker 1 (01:03:02):
I agree.

Speaker 7 (01:03:06):
They get a little yoke and two petals.

Speaker 4 (01:03:11):
Frank, you're asking about knives. I picked up a brain.
It's called petrified fish. I haven't heard of this one
by They're not not expensive. But I bought a decent
little pocket knife. It was like twenty nine bucks and
it's pretty resilient, and uh, if you're one that loses
these things.

Speaker 7 (01:03:29):
I I carry it every day and they eventually get
caught on a seat and then the back clip, you know,
gets a little band, and then I know it's days
are numbered and eventually I mostly when I go see
a movie when I get out of those big seats
when you slide out, that would eats them all the time.
M Oh, there it is the ELK antenna. Great antenna.

Speaker 1 (01:03:55):
I got one too, that's and that's the old five.
That's the one, Robert Scott.

Speaker 7 (01:04:00):
That's a good that's a good deal. I got that antenna.
It works great. My two meter radio. It's power button.
It's permanently stuck in now, can't turn it on. That's
why I haven't done satellites in a bit.

Speaker 4 (01:04:15):
You know, if you guys are watching t O, he
was talking about that Vero bluetooth speaker mic the other day.
They've got those yes sale, Yes, twenty six dollars eleven
cents down from thirty nine to ninety five.

Speaker 1 (01:04:30):
It's good. Yeah, Bill, somebody's asking for your YouTube channel name,
and Don just answered him. But if you want to
link your YouTube channel, Bill in there, you've got to
mod privileges.

Speaker 7 (01:04:43):
And radio tectonics. The probably the one pilot if we
ever get on his plane, will let us transmit.

Speaker 1 (01:04:53):
Yeah, that'd be so much fun.

Speaker 4 (01:04:57):
Probably says no, because I'm transmitting.

Speaker 1 (01:05:00):
I know, right, Yeah, yeah you can, you can. You
might even be able to talk to the pilot over
mesh tastic. Don't ask me how I know.

Speaker 11 (01:05:09):
I don't know what you're talking about.

Speaker 1 (01:05:10):
I don't know what you're talking about.

Speaker 6 (01:05:12):
Yeah, Daniel, Daniel, Daniel, you got to fix this. You
got the icon. I see twenty seven thirty for ten
dollars more than the YASU one fifty. You got to
fix that, man. Yeah, we need to get that twenty
seven thirty out there for our satellite operators.

Speaker 1 (01:05:33):
That that radio is a good price on a normal day,
I mean for what it is.

Speaker 2 (01:05:37):
Oh yeah, yeah, that's a great radio.

Speaker 6 (01:05:40):
I mean I think it's you know, I think it's
probably one of the best radios for the money.

Speaker 1 (01:05:48):
Will the fifty two be full duplex fifty two hundred
I should.

Speaker 6 (01:05:50):
Say, yeah, I'm confirmed.

Speaker 1 (01:05:53):
Yeah, I thought it. My fifty one hundred is so
I assume the fifty two hundred will be as well.

Speaker 6 (01:05:59):
Yeah, from the horse's mouth.

Speaker 4 (01:06:04):
Have they announced a MSRPT or anything on the seventy
three or two?

Speaker 6 (01:06:10):
I don't think so.

Speaker 1 (01:06:13):
No, I don't I've seen anything on that.

Speaker 4 (01:06:15):
I haven't.

Speaker 11 (01:06:16):
No.

Speaker 3 (01:06:17):
I would just keep checking in on our website. You
can subscribe for updates as soon as it's posted, you'll
get an email.

Speaker 2 (01:06:27):
I got a question on this Yasu board, that Yasu
s P one s P one Audio Audio Digital Signaling
Processing board. Mm hmmm, isn't that already included in the
five ten and and those? It says it's for the
for the FtM five to ten. Isn't that don't those
things already have that are ASP or whatever?

Speaker 14 (01:06:47):
It's no, they don't. You have the five ten and
then you have the five to ten ASP. Ah, so
you can buy.

Speaker 2 (01:06:54):
It was an upgrade from the five hundred with ASP.

Speaker 6 (01:07:00):
Well, they brought the asps out first and then they
were real quiet about the non ASP versions and just
all of a sudden showed up.

Speaker 1 (01:07:09):
Interesting, Yeah, the five to ten will do. It's got
that upgraded program memory group. And yeah, I think ASP
was the I don't know that's a good question because
they do have a non ASP version, But I'm just like, yeah,
what is what is the points? The same things at

(01:07:29):
five hundred then almost it's got a few it's got
a few other things. First thing asked John was did
they fix the quardy keyboard?

Speaker 7 (01:07:36):
And he's like no.

Speaker 2 (01:07:37):
I was like, okay, well, yeah, yeah, what difference is
between the five hundred and five to ten.

Speaker 6 (01:07:43):
Then that five hundred has a D sense issue on
like the third harmonic whenever you're working satellites in some frequencies,
h and be curious if they fix that.

Speaker 1 (01:07:55):
Hmm. I I have noticed that, but I've never done
satellites with my five hundred. So it works, it works,
It works well for aprs. Now let me let me
explain that once you get used to it, the menus
don't make any sense. But once you get used to

(01:08:17):
it and you've done it a few times, you're like, oh,
that that's over here. It shouldn't be over here, but
it is, and that kind of thing.

Speaker 6 (01:08:22):
So I see the little haco has made an appearance.
I haven't seen the bigger hacos yet.

Speaker 1 (01:08:35):
No, I didn't see that either.

Speaker 2 (01:08:39):
I might have to get me a fifty dollars mystery
package for forty five.

Speaker 7 (01:08:43):
Yeah, I saw that a bit ago, trying that.

Speaker 14 (01:08:46):
But when you click on the link, it still says fifty.

Speaker 4 (01:10:00):
It's your special YouTuber's price.

Speaker 1 (01:10:06):
Uh, that's good.

Speaker 2 (01:10:09):
I think I did a HAM one last time. Maybe
I'll try a different one.

Speaker 1 (01:10:12):
Oh the infamous screen Matt, Yeah, here's one. Now that
Apache Labs is making radios in the US, well, gigaparts
consider carrying them. In the store.

Speaker 3 (01:10:26):
I don't know, we'll see, Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:10:31):
Something to look at. Uh, Justin So I was confused
on this myself. Justin is asking separation cables for the
x FTX one are in stock. Someone said that they
actually had one. I didn't think they had been released yet.
Are those are those out or no?

Speaker 7 (01:10:51):
I am not sure, Daniel, check the zoom chat. I
asked you a question.

Speaker 1 (01:10:57):
Mm hmm. No secrets in here, Frank, there's always.

Speaker 3 (01:11:03):
Secret speak with much authority on that.

Speaker 7 (01:11:06):
But I wanted to ask, can you explain the new
awards program gigaparts is doing now?

Speaker 3 (01:11:16):
Personally? Not in much detail, I would. I would recommend
just going to the reward section of our website. It's
I know that we just recently set up a rewards
store where you can cash in on on on the
reward points that you've that you've earned from from recent
purchases or qualifying purchases. There's a lot of good deals

(01:11:40):
in there to be had. But now I'm sorry, I'm
not up to speed on on how that works. I can't.

Speaker 7 (01:11:49):
I don't want to misspeak, Okay, Mike, Yeah, let's trying
to get that out there too, and also to get
some information about it.

Speaker 1 (01:12:01):
The rewards uh coupon codes are not working during this
live stream because of the discounts being given.

Speaker 7 (01:12:07):
Well yeah, yeah, yeah, I understood that part. But it's just.

Speaker 1 (01:12:10):
I'm just saying I'm just saying it for the chat. Yeah,
I'm just saying it for the chat.

Speaker 3 (01:12:13):
Also, it was just the fact that the rewards store
is not open during the chat.

Speaker 11 (01:12:19):
Ah okay, I think I just bought that Chameleon bag
that I've been trying not to buy forever.

Speaker 1 (01:12:27):
The antenna bag.

Speaker 11 (01:12:28):
I love that bag.

Speaker 1 (01:12:30):
I do too. Yeah it is.

Speaker 12 (01:12:31):
I got an Army Navy surplus bag when I was
a kid exactly like.

Speaker 11 (01:12:38):
It for like five bucks.

Speaker 12 (01:12:40):
So really yeah, holding off, holding off, holding off, and
I can't find anything, and that's the bag I want.
So finally I pulled the trigger. But anyway, I think
I got points. It said something about points.

Speaker 1 (01:12:53):
Well, you you may still get points when you buy,
but like if you use a coupon for double points,
it's not gonna work during the stream.

Speaker 4 (01:12:59):
I didn't use a coup but I just bought, but
you didn't use casey five hbo B.

Speaker 1 (01:13:05):
Just what everyone should be using on once this live
stream ends and you go buy something from Giga Parts,
whether you're in the store or online, you should use
the code KC five HWB to earn double points. And then,
as I understand it, they do these specials and you'll
get an email. Join their email list because you'll keep
up with all the stuff that they're doing, and they'll

(01:13:28):
do specials for twenty X points forty X points. So
if you have a thousand points and they do a
forty X, then you'll have forty thousand points and you'll
be able to use that on pretty much anything in
the store.

Speaker 11 (01:13:39):
So we're getting regular points on the purchase.

Speaker 1 (01:13:42):
Yeah right, it looks like it. Yeah, yep.

Speaker 7 (01:13:47):
Oh, biolinal batteries are starting to pop up now. I
just saw a six and now as twelve mm and
the rankstick x Pro. I was just using mind today.
That's why I know my six meter hamsticks only tuning
up two meters.

Speaker 5 (01:14:04):
There's a few sticks on there already. Yeah, go back, great,
great freaking Uh.

Speaker 1 (01:14:11):
Those are those are great? Yeah? Those are great for
field analyzers. Who did a video a couple of years
ago about mine. I've got the stick Pro. They're USBC rechargeable.
I mean, yeah, what's not to like?

Speaker 7 (01:14:22):
If you got the e ink one. Man, I only
recharged this twice out like the six years I had it,
and it's still going strong.

Speaker 1 (01:14:30):
They're they're all e ink I think.

Speaker 7 (01:14:32):
And no, I think the newer ones have an l
c D display.

Speaker 5 (01:14:35):
Okay, yeah, well I think the blue one is the
only one with the ink. I could be wrong.

Speaker 1 (01:14:41):
Well, my mine is the mine is mine's the black one,
the Pro and it's got a dark screen, so it
might be l c D. But I don't hardly ever
charge that thing either. Yeah, I mean it's been a
year since I've charged it. Yeah, it's it's still very very.

Speaker 7 (01:15:00):
I wonder which analyzis do we like on stream?

Speaker 2 (01:15:07):
I like my fifty five zoom at nice big screen,
five bands at a time sw R.

Speaker 1 (01:15:12):
That one's a good one too, Yeah, you know.

Speaker 2 (01:15:14):
For a lower for a lower cost one with a
lot of capabilities.

Speaker 4 (01:15:18):
So during during Huntsville, Gigabarts had three or four of
those on the shelf as open boxes, and my mic
picked up one and I was thinking about it and
I didn't, and now I kind of wish I had.

Speaker 7 (01:15:30):
Very great I've used mine to tune every antenna and
it's it's amazing it's easy. If Frank can figure it out,
you can.

Speaker 1 (01:15:43):
So at the top of the chat, I get asked
this question all the time, all the time, like at
least once a month, what's your favorite mobile Ham radio antenna?
And at the top of the Active Eels chat right
now is the comment SBB five, And that's my answer
every time. I've got three of those on the truck
right now, the comment SBB five twelve. What power sent

(01:16:04):
me some of those? You're going to be seeing some
new videos about them soon. But I've been running an
SBB five on my vehicle for ten twelve years something
like that. So that's that's my that's my favorite dual
band two meter for forty ham radio antenna.

Speaker 7 (01:16:24):
I'm trying to get these hamsticks to work to have
a no penetration solution when I go to BODA, and
I can't wait to get these these up and going
because they're a great easy solution just to throw up
with fast and get on the radio. I wonder if
I'm doing something wrong with grounding and it's just pulling
everything in or I'm not grounding it right or something.

(01:16:46):
That's that's my hint.

Speaker 11 (01:16:47):
What do you say it, Frank? What what's wrong?

Speaker 7 (01:16:52):
I can't tune them up right, so I don't know what.
Maybe it's the mount that's wrong or the connector I
have wrong. Something is wrong and I don't know what
it is.

Speaker 1 (01:17:03):
Yeah, well on your on your on your car antenna hamstick?
Oh your hams Okay, I.

Speaker 7 (01:17:11):
Got I just bought a mount and they're mounted to
a skyhook and I have it on a tripod and
that should work.

Speaker 5 (01:17:21):
You're using radios with them?

Speaker 7 (01:17:23):
No radios?

Speaker 5 (01:17:26):
That could be because I use an older MFJ try
mag mount on top of my SUV and nothing. That's
the only thing I use. And I put the hamsticks
right in there. They have them all tuned and I'm
ready now.

Speaker 7 (01:17:41):
Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. I need a large ground
plane and it's not reflecting right.

Speaker 5 (01:17:45):
Yeah, that's what it probably is. Because I had someone,
a local guy tried to copy exactly what I did,
but he had a pickup truck and he tried to
put the mag mount on top of his pickup truck
and it's just not the same size as mine. So
I wasn't doing the same thing I use.

Speaker 12 (01:18:00):
And it's so it's it's the mount is screwed into
the fenders made for the ford, and then I also
connected extra wires, small braided wires to different parts of
the frame and made sure the frame was bonded as well.

Speaker 11 (01:18:17):
And I never have a problem I take. I keep
the twenty on there.

Speaker 12 (01:18:21):
It never comes off except when I put the forty
or the ten on there. And I never have a
problem with so.

Speaker 1 (01:18:29):
Gigabart says, the issue with the fifty dollars mystery box
has been fixed. All four flavors of that are now
at forty five dollars. Nice, go get them with it, yeah,
and go go grab it now, because that's going to
be like site crash.

Speaker 5 (01:18:44):
Yeah, Frank mentioned the or someone mentioned the uh the
Haco soldering. Now they have a station up there now.

Speaker 1 (01:18:54):
Yeah, it's up there now.

Speaker 6 (01:18:56):
Both sizes popped up. Cool yep.

Speaker 14 (01:19:01):
I've got so much random stuff in my cart right now.

Speaker 1 (01:19:05):
That was me last time, dude. I bought like four
different roles of of filament for three D printing.

Speaker 14 (01:19:12):
Yeah, I've got filament, I've got mystery boxes, I've got
the infamous green mat the bag slowly climbing up.

Speaker 1 (01:19:24):
I tell you what filment I like. I really it's
just pla but That metallic green that they have is
just freaking cool looking. I just really really like that
metallic green color. I'm seeing if it's in here now.

Speaker 5 (01:19:37):
There's a lot of nice looking filament.

Speaker 1 (01:19:40):
Yeah, out there, this is a bamboo. This is a
bamboo filment. There's a metallic green. I bought it at
the gigapart store when I bought my printer, I bought
like four different roles of well three or four different
roles of filament, and I just for whatever reason, I
just really really like that metallic green. I think it
looks fantastic. So all right, that's not there anymore, Okay.

Speaker 6 (01:20:03):
I see the three ampower bio eno made an appearance,
Just so folks are aware that comes in two different
form factors.

Speaker 2 (01:20:16):
Yeah right, this is.

Speaker 6 (01:20:17):
The the skinnier version, that's a little bit longer. There's
a there's a wider version. I think it's the twelve
oh three w If I'm not.

Speaker 1 (01:20:26):
Mistaken, I think that's right.

Speaker 6 (01:20:28):
Yeah, that's the one that I use that fits in
the recon range found recon rangefinder pouch if if that
matters to you, right, just be aware that those come
in two different configurations.

Speaker 1 (01:20:43):
Right, Like the twelve mpower.

Speaker 6 (01:20:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:20:47):
I'm not saying you should buy my mystery boxes, but
if you do before November, it's possible this blue thing
on the screen right here, a version of that might
be in it. I'm not making any promises though, I'm
just saying that it might happen. There's two nightcres at
the top of the page.

Speaker 5 (01:21:08):
There, Robert I mention that too. Yeah, there's an eight
hundred lumen headlamp. I think I've seeing the eight hundred
women in the headlamp before.

Speaker 6 (01:21:20):
Yeah, put your eye out.

Speaker 1 (01:21:23):
Yeah, uh, this is the one I have, the e
DC twenty nine. This thing is freaking cool. Okay, you're
gonna love that. It is great. It's got a it's
got a little LCD on it like there, and it'll
tell you what because it's got like three or four
different settings. You tap it and it turns up, turns up,
turns up, and then it's got a turbo button that

(01:21:44):
you hold down and it'll stay on for like ten
or fifteen seconds and then turn itself off because it
just gets too hot. And I mean, if you if
you want to spot were wolves in the woods, that's
what you use. That thing is freaking cool. So Uh. Yeah,
that is a great flashlight right there. Highly recommended that one.
It's a little bit more bulky than the current EEDC

(01:22:05):
I'm carrying right now, which is a what is this?
Forget what this is? Oh uh stream lights wedge is
what I've been carrying, and this is it's a little
bit more thick this way, but may be a little
bit skinnier this way. So gotcha, just be be aware
of that. It's just but it's but it's like this

(01:22:26):
has basically on off and this has a turbo also
that you have to hold down, but that has like
four or five setting. That's that's a great flashlight. I
really like that EDC twenty nine.

Speaker 6 (01:22:38):
I'm looking to replace the round flashlight that I've got
in this in this little expedition pack, this platty, so
I think that flat one should fit in right there,
should be nice?

Speaker 1 (01:22:51):
Yeah, good good, good good.

Speaker 4 (01:23:07):
Hey Jason, what are you doing for air filtration on
your your printer?

Speaker 1 (01:23:12):
Nothing? Nothing, it's uh the the X one echo doesn't
need well, I've not used any uh toxic filament on mine? Yet?
Was that p S A? Is it p S A
that you have to do something with? But I've only used.
I've only used p L A and pet G and

(01:23:32):
uh pet pet G c F also, so I've not
used anything that that requires extra ventilation. But this thing's
all climate controlled. The X one echo is all climate controlled.
It's got a like like it'll kick on and it'll say, uh,
ambient temperature too high, cooling. It's got its own built
in freaking air conditioner and whatnot. So, and I assume

(01:23:53):
that once the winner gets here and it becomes cold
and a hamshack, that it's gonna it. It does have
a heater in it also, it'll it'll heat its own environment.
So in fact, sometimes it'll say temperature too high, open
the door. I'm like, oh, okay, but it's at I've
had very very little issue with ooh, look at that
power Works megabox. Those things are overpriced. Everything about power

(01:24:14):
Works is overpriced, but those are really cool. One seventy
nine normally one fifty four. It's a great battery box.
Has anyone put the the the Explorer battery box in
there yet?

Speaker 5 (01:24:28):
I'm probably going to.

Speaker 1 (01:24:30):
I don't think it's there earlier was it? It was there?

Speaker 2 (01:24:34):
Pretty sure? Explored where's the beginning there?

Speaker 1 (01:24:37):
It is right there, boom. Uh sixty nine five normal
price of one hundred bucks, isn't it? Yeah, yeah, one
hundred bucks, one hundred dollars battery box for seventy bucks.
I've got two of those. This one has the new
the their newest version has the uh that this well,

(01:24:58):
that's not a very good picture of it, but that,
in fact, that's I don't even think that's an updated
picture of it.

Speaker 5 (01:25:05):
The sixty white Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:25:06):
The US six, the one in the center has a
sixty five wyt pdport that is not what it looks like.
I don't think that. I don't think they've updated the
picture on it. But the sixth, the this box here
has a sixty five white P port that will one
hundred charge your ftx one battery and radio. So and
I did. I showed that in my f in one

(01:25:27):
of my ftx one videos early on, which means it'll
charge the heck out of everything else you have too.
You're seven o five, it'll charge just fine any of
your HT radios, it'll charge just fine your watch, your camera, everything.
So that's a fantastic In fact, what I did was
I went out and bought that port. I found that
port on eBay, and I went and put one in
my original Explorer box. So now I've got two. I've

(01:25:49):
got the original and the new Explorer box from Gigaparts,
and I've got that same port in both of them
because that port is so awesome. So yeah, sixty nine
bucks for that's a great price. There's something else from
ELK LBB, the LBB version.

Speaker 6 (01:26:13):
Yeah, I'm not sure what that is. Let's take a look.

Speaker 1 (01:26:16):
Says it's a two meter seventy centimeter dual band log
periodic hanheld.

Speaker 6 (01:26:22):
Yeah, I think it's I think it's well, is the
the L five BB. I think that just is the
black So usually you can get this in two versions.
You can get one that has a satin or a
silver boom, and you can get one that has a
black boom. I think this is probably the black boom.

Speaker 1 (01:26:41):
No, this is the silver. Well, the picture is silver,
but it does. But you know what, you know what
at the top in the description of the of the
chrome tab at the top it says black powered coded
dual band log periodic. Yeah, so the picture they have
on it is wrong. Yeah, but yeah, Okay, there's the
commed SBB two two four that I was talking about.

(01:27:05):
Earlier too. This is the triband version that includes to twenty.
But yeah, okay, so that's the black version then, yep.
And the one you have is like gray PVC.

Speaker 6 (01:27:16):
PVC is the same color on them. It's just the
boom itself.

Speaker 1 (01:27:19):
It's just the boom.

Speaker 6 (01:27:20):
Okay, yeah, so it's it's the boom where the elements
screw into uh into the antenna, you know. Yeah, you
have a black version and a silver version, and the
black ones usually around ten.

Speaker 2 (01:27:34):
Bucks more.

Speaker 1 (01:27:36):
Nice.

Speaker 6 (01:27:37):
Okay, right, yeah, there's the you're paying for style, yeah
style point there we go.

Speaker 14 (01:27:47):
I was talking and didn't realize Mic is on twenty
meters right now, and I tried to get him, and
I switched the mic over to the radio and forgot
to switch it back and sending her.

Speaker 2 (01:28:00):
Nine now.

Speaker 7 (01:28:01):
Yeah, yeah, I was trying to get him too, but
I don't hear him here in Texas.

Speaker 14 (01:28:05):
No, I don't hear him.

Speaker 1 (01:28:07):
There's your four point five ampower bio in o right
there at the top.

Speaker 7 (01:28:11):
Also, I saw a twenty amp hower my butt bioleto.

Speaker 5 (01:28:17):
And your power film solar LS one max popped up.

Speaker 1 (01:28:21):
I saw that. Yeah, yeah, oh yeah, okay, that is
the Lightsaber Max. Yeah, that's it right there, four eighty
So yeah, those things are normally about six fifty four
eighty one for that the This is a great product.
It really really is. The only bad thing about it
is it only has USBA out. Now they're working on

(01:28:45):
a new version that'll have USBC both in and out.
But you're probably not gonna get it for six fifty
and you're sure as heck not gonna get it to
four eighty, so just heads up there. So, yeah, that's
a great product. I keep minding my truck and take
it with me pretty much everywhere.

Speaker 14 (01:29:04):
I have to say. They've they've got this thing down
pat it's updating quickly. Request coming in quickly, And I
requested the bag that you were talking about, the Chameleon bag,
and within a minute and a half, two minutes it
it popped up on the screen.

Speaker 1 (01:29:22):
So yeah, good they.

Speaker 4 (01:29:28):
Before you knew you needed it.

Speaker 6 (01:29:30):
I'm sure they did. The algorithm is telling.

Speaker 1 (01:29:33):
Him exactly, So Nino Nino de Nino day. What size
battery can you fit an Explorer box? It really depends
on the battery manufacturer. I have one of the twenty
four amp hour gigaparts batteries in mine right now. Uh,

(01:29:58):
the meaty thirty six, I think we'll fit in there.
I think it'll fit in there. I ordered a thirty
six ampower meady on Amazon like six months ago because
it was on sale, and the battery they sent me
was not a Miady and looked nothing like the Miadi
battery and it had two bare ports on the top

(01:30:21):
with just holes in them that you had to add
your own screws to. So I emailed them and said,
this is not what I ordered. I want to return it,
and they're like, well, we can't take batteries on returns,
so just keep it and we'll refund you, and they
did so. I was going to try to put the
thirty six Miadi battery in my Get My Explorer box,
but I didn't do it because they didn't send me
the right thing, and by the time I went back

(01:30:42):
to it, the sale was gone, so I didn't mess
with it since then. But yeah, it'll it'll definitely hold
like a twenty to twenty four amp hour battery, and
if you could find a battery short enough for it,
it'll hold larger than that.

Speaker 6 (01:31:00):
Good Jason, I'm gonna have to step out, man, okay,
but thanks for having me on. This is fun.

Speaker 1 (01:31:07):
Yeah, for sure.

Speaker 6 (01:31:08):
They've got to spend my money.

Speaker 1 (01:31:10):
Yeah, they've got a timer here at the top. So
we got another twenty nine minutes to go and then
we're gonna shut it down. So yeah, cool, Rob, are
you going?

Speaker 2 (01:31:19):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (01:31:20):
Rob? Are you doing anything for Q SOO party on Saturday?

Speaker 6 (01:31:24):
I don't have any plans, you know. I saw there
was a bunch of stuff bouncing around there, but it
didn't feel like anything kind of solidified.

Speaker 1 (01:31:34):
Uh So there's there's who is it, Paul, there's a
club going to Ray Roberts.

Speaker 7 (01:31:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:31:39):
I thought it was a club thing, but it's an
individual thing. And he actually put in there. I said, well, hey,
I said, Jason and Frank and Mike might be interested.
And he was like, well, if I didn't want it
to be a big thing, so if someone wants to
do that, I'll just relinquish the camp. I said, no,
never mind. So it wasn't a club function. It was
four or five guys from the club doing their own thing,
which is why I'm doing my own thing.

Speaker 1 (01:32:01):
Well, but are you're going to be up there?

Speaker 2 (01:32:04):
I will be I'm not going to go to there.
There at Johnson. I'm going to be at a the
Blis branch.

Speaker 1 (01:32:11):
Okay, that's where. That's where we've gone up there a
couple of times for uh yeah, for my thing. But
Ellie from She's on frequency, she hit me up on
discord the other day and said she's going to be
up there. Yeah, and she's like, oh, are you are
you coming up here? I'm like, well, I'm thinking about it.
And she's like, I'm going to be up here with
a couple of people, and I'm like, okay, So I
just want to do something to put on video for
my thirty days at him Radio. I just want to

(01:32:32):
do part of the tex Excuse Party for like thirty
minutes or an hour. That's all I want to do.

Speaker 2 (01:32:36):
So yeah, there'll be three of us that I know
of so far, Elle, myself and Michael probably operating there
at Al de Bois.

Speaker 1 (01:32:43):
Okay, I'll come up. I'll come up to y'all side.
I know where that is.

Speaker 6 (01:32:46):
I've been shot the details if okay, unless this is
just a you thing and it's not a thing.

Speaker 4 (01:32:52):
Well, I don't want to make I'm just going to have.

Speaker 7 (01:32:59):
Oscopy. Uh.

Speaker 15 (01:33:02):
We're not getting his name vern Ouch, No, no, I
didn't mean I I I jokingly refer to everybody in
Ham radio that's old and cranky as vern As vern
as Vern, but not not not implying Vern not no, no, no,
that's just it. I always go old Vern down at

(01:33:25):
the clubs crank about something that's right.

Speaker 1 (01:33:28):
Yeah, that sounds right.

Speaker 4 (01:33:28):
So I'll p.

Speaker 11 (01:33:31):
Pseudonym for your cranky guy.

Speaker 4 (01:33:33):
I know, I know, I know I should, but I
do preface it with Vern at the club, well vernon.

Speaker 1 (01:33:39):
The club anyway, So I yeah, Paul, I'll probably come
up and join you on Saturday for a few hours
that morning at least.

Speaker 2 (01:33:46):
All right, there's a there's a nice table just before
the beach, but I have a feeling someone's going to
get there before me. So if I'm not at that
first table, we're all put the pen in discord. Just
go a little bit further past the beach, and that
bill is full of tables and trees. So I'll be
up there.

Speaker 1 (01:34:03):
If only we had like some sort of communication devices
in our vehicle that we could check with people when
we arrived on scene.

Speaker 5 (01:34:10):
Yeah, just sext me.

Speaker 1 (01:34:12):
Yeah, yeah, get on six five two for crying out
loud people. Yeah, I'll have my Oh my goodness.

Speaker 2 (01:34:18):
I'll have my VHF U HF up two to hope
to hope to reach the guys over in Johnson branch
on VHF.

Speaker 1 (01:34:23):
Oh yeah, yeah, good idea, good idea.

Speaker 6 (01:34:26):
Well quick plug in if you don't.

Speaker 1 (01:34:28):
Care, no, go ahead, go ahead, yeah yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:34:31):
So tomorrow night on the late shift, we're going to
be talking about receiving and processing satellite telemetry. Right no
night at three five am, there's five brand new satellites
being deployed, five Japanese satellites being deployed. Four of them

(01:34:54):
have ham radio capabilities, all of them can do telemetry.
So this is a great opportunity for folks if you've
never done it to you know, learn what it takes,
learn what hardware, what software you need, because we're going
to do all that on a stream. And uh, if
we're lucky enough that we get a satellite pass over

(01:35:16):
the course of that four or five hours, which there
should be at least one, well we'll try to capture
the telemetry and decode it.

Speaker 1 (01:35:23):
So a fun night, good, that's awesome, We'll drop it.
Do you have a pre planned livestream.

Speaker 6 (01:35:30):
Link, Rob, I'll be sending it out tomorrow.

Speaker 4 (01:35:34):
Okay, get signed up for a mailing list.

Speaker 6 (01:35:37):
Yeah, yeah, that'd be uh, that'd be really helpful. That's
how I communicate to folks, So.

Speaker 7 (01:35:44):
I need to get that going.

Speaker 11 (01:35:45):
A list, Robert, do you have a mailing list? Tell
me about that.

Speaker 6 (01:35:50):
Yeah, it's it's the community community list. It's bitsy slash
c l B I T dot t Z right. It's
a link shortener, so like itsy bitsy, so you don't
forget bitsy slash cl and that'll get you on the
community list.

Speaker 4 (01:36:07):
I put it up in the chat, but I don't
have mod rights under this account for some reason.

Speaker 1 (01:36:12):
You're not special, Tim, I know you.

Speaker 4 (01:36:14):
You actually gave it to me. It's on the overlanding
channel though. Oh yeah, I can log out, log back in.

Speaker 1 (01:36:20):
I see it. Here we go. Okay, good, there you go. Good.

Speaker 6 (01:36:24):
So hope to see you guys out there. Appreciate it.
Everyone spend lots of money. Can't wait to hear what
every one bought.

Yeah you guys, all right, man, thanks for joining me.

Speaker 6 (01:36:33):
Thank you?

Speaker 1 (01:36:34):
Yep? All right? Cool? Okay, good, Yeah he does. If
you're interested in satellites, go watch Rob's channel. He does
a great job with everything. Satellite iss VHF h h R.
I don't know if he does. I'm not sure if
he does anything with HF satellites, but he does definitely

(01:36:55):
does VHF UHF satellites.

Speaker 7 (01:37:00):
So well.

Speaker 14 (01:37:01):
Part of his new setups for linear isn't that HF.

Speaker 1 (01:37:05):
I believe that is HF. Yes. So yeah, I'm trying
to get him to we're gonna I'm gonna go out
there and do a video with him for my thirty
days of him radio. He's just trying to get the
finishing touches on his h on his shack out there.
So but he's got a really nice Two years ago
I brought home an M squared intenna for him. M
squared satellite antenna. I think it's a I remember it's

(01:37:28):
a two meter or duel band. That long it was,
it was it was ham mention of I think twenty
twenty four, so a year and a half ago. And
uh and he's like, yeah, when I get this setup,
you can come out. We'll do a video. Like great,
and he's he's almost done. He's almost He's like, hey, right,
it takes time, right, it takes time. Yeah, Well he's

(01:37:48):
almost done. I know he's looking forward to it, though, he.

Speaker 12 (01:37:51):
Had to find deals like he has what do you
call that cable, the hardline cable?

Speaker 11 (01:37:55):
What's it called heliax deals on? Well, and that's that's
no small enterprise.

Speaker 1 (01:38:07):
True true, very true. Mm hmmm, very true, very true.
All right, and teletron stuff up there.

Speaker 14 (01:38:22):
Well, I will try and get you guys on the
q SO party. I'm gonna be doing a shakedown on
my camper. I got a new generator and I'm gonna
try and run it for the weekend on the generator
and see what happens.

Speaker 1 (01:38:33):
So you're bringing that to Belton, aren't you? Yeah, I'm
bringing that to belt good.

Speaker 11 (01:38:38):
Yeah, lest spots at Hauntsville, now ye yep, just just kidding, Dave.

Speaker 1 (01:38:48):
Hey, there's a seventy three hundred nine seventy seven sub
one thousand dollars. That's good. What else let's see?

Speaker 11 (01:39:04):
So does the old seventy three hundred become the seventy
three hundred mark one?

Speaker 1 (01:39:09):
Now I suppose, I mean, I don't know. The seventy
three hundred seems to be the radio that everyone sells
when they get a new radio. Yeah, so everyone sells
their seventy three hundred, then ends up by another one.
I'm just gonna keep mine. I might I would like
to get a Mark two. Uh, I would like to

(01:39:33):
get a Mark two. It's really gonna depend on the
price when when they drop, So I don't know, we'll see.

Speaker 4 (01:39:41):
Maybe you know, I'm interested in one. And I love
the remote features, right, so try I travel a bit
with work, stuck in hotels things like that, so I
I enjoy doing remote radio. I've got the flex now.

Speaker 1 (01:39:59):
So you could tell teeth. Yeah, you can totally remote
the original seventy three hundred. You just have to have
it attached to a computer. Yes, So if you have
the original seventy three hundred attached to your computer, and
your computer is presumably on the Internet, you can run
the Icon remote software and you can totally work at
original seventy three hundred. Now, the difference is between that

(01:40:22):
and like the seventy six' ten and what? Else there
was something. ELSE i can't remember what it. Was it's,
uh you. Know some of the newer models have a
built in computer or built in board that lets you
Plug ethernet directly into the radio where you don't need
an external, computer but you can you can totally put

(01:40:44):
put the original seventy three hundred on. Remote if that's
your only if that's your only, caveat you can totally
do that. Now but you have to dedicate a computer to.
It WELL i don't know about, dedicated but you have
to have it attached to a. Computer, yeah so y forty.
Five CAN i make an offer For jason's seventy three,
hundred warning it will be offensively, low you can offer,

(01:41:09):
SURE i don't get. INSULTANT i don't get. Insulted that's
not going to be.

Speaker 4 (01:41:13):
DROPPED i.

Speaker 1 (01:41:14):
HAVEN'T i haven't powered that radio up in probably two.
Years ever SINCE i got MY FTD x, TEN i
haven't touched that. Radio BUT i do have a plan for.
It AND i could easily get rid of that radio
and put A mark two in its place WHERE i
have the. Plan but, yeah it's going to sit next
to my ninety seven hundred in a in a go.

(01:41:37):
Kit put it that.

Speaker 6 (01:41:39):
Way it's a big.

Speaker 1 (01:41:40):
Kit yes it, Is yes it.

Speaker 4 (01:41:44):

of the. TOWN i think it sounds, awesome just just
the richness in the in the. Thing and that might

(01:42:04):

i really prefer that.

Speaker 1 (01:42:09):
Radio there's nothing in the world wrong with the seventy three.

LIKE i used to not like the Ya zu, radios
THE ftdx series prior to the, ten like THE ftdx
three thousand and five, THOUSAND i mean five THOUSAND i
never had because it was it's an expensive. Radio and

(01:42:29):
the fifteen hundred or whatever it, was and the three,
THOUSAND i didn't really care for those. Radios they were,
okay they're. OKAY i never cared for the nine to
any ONE. A but when that ten came out and
then the seven ten and the one and the one
oh ONE d just those are just freaking AWESOME hf.
Radios AND i JUST i use my FTD x ten

(01:42:52):
ninety five percent of the time WHEN i poto, now

Streams we've talked about barbecue on live streams. Before, okay
you can't Beat texas. Brisket can't do. It, okay anyone

Had Kansas city, ribs So i'm not down Playing Kansas
city RIB i would love to try, THEM i have

the ribs In memphis are. Better so if you want
really good, ribs go To. Memphis if you want really good,
brisket come To. Texas but when you Say texas Barbecue memphis,
barbecue you're you're not talking about the same thing because

(01:45:03):
ribs and brisket are two totally different cuts of. Meat, so,
OKAY i got to ask you about.

Speaker 2 (01:45:07):
Brisket all, right.

Speaker 1 (01:45:10):

you should come down. Soon but, Yeah i've Had i've
had some Of paul's brisket cooked in an air fryar.

Speaker 2 (01:45:53):
Oh, interesting bad, right it was a few days old And.

Speaker 4 (01:45:59):
JOSH i was warm warmed. UP i think we were
going to do it on a grill or fire of some.
Sort and then we had to do an emergency tear
down and get out of town because of the the storm's.
Coming so uh He, hector who's? There he's actually he
was At huntsville too over. This uh he oh.

Speaker 1 (01:46:21):

Speaker 1 (01:46:26):
Everybody we Met hector at The More. Expo, yes, yeah
he's a good. Dude ye uh don says pork or beef.
RIBS i prefer beef pork ribs or well so so
when you go To memphis in order, RIBS i think
you could get beef ribs In, memphis but they usually
ask you wet ribs or dry. Ribs AND i get

(01:46:48):
wet ribs much. Rather and and here's And I'M i
Know i'm going to catch slack for, this but here here. Goes,
okay here we. Go you all ready to get pissed?
Off here we, Go here we, go barbecue sauce. Sucks,
okay if you cook your meat, correctly you don't freaking
need barbecue. Sauce, okay brisk. Barbecue barbecue should actually be

(01:47:12):
called smoked. Meat and if you smoke your meat, correctly
you don't need barbecue. Sauce, now if you just like barbecue,
SAUCE i like, Putting, okay that's. Cool the problem the
problem with. That but if you need barbecue sauce to
complete the, meal you have cooked it.

Speaker 13 (01:47:27):
Wrong now that's what change my. Mind that's what people
say about, steak, yes, sir.

Speaker 1 (01:47:34):
Also like a.

Speaker 13 (01:47:38):
One there's something about the favor.

Speaker 1 (01:47:41):
And that's, okay but you, know need it right if
you need. It if your steak tastes like a baseball,
mit and you have to, put there's something wrong with.

Speaker 2 (01:47:53):
THAT i, mean you, know if you if you've never
Tried brazilian shus studio where they slice the meat on your,
tray all they use is walk. Salt that's.

Speaker 1 (01:48:03):
It, yes, yeah, yeah and it's the best meat you've ever.
Had yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:48:08):
M, hm, yes, sir h you have to. Put if
you have to put sauce on your, steak it's not worth.

Speaker 1 (01:48:12):
Eating you, guys come to tech next time you next
time you guys have to.

Speaker 10 (01:48:16):

Speaker 7 (01:48:52):
In front of, you it's displayed in front of, you

smoke walking into the smoke pit you have you have
to walk into a, patio a covered patio area where
they have a smoke or the size of my freaking.
Truck well they actually have two smokers that, size, okay
and you you walk in there and you get high

brisket and meet you anywhere is, better, okay but hard
eight has a bunch of other stuff that meet you wouldn't.
