Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (02:15):
Hey folks, good morning, Thank you for joining us. Gotta
get started here in just a minute. Happy Amazon Prime Day. Okay,

(03:15):
I show eleven am in Texas, and I think that's
I think that's a good place to start. So good
morning to everyone. Happy Tuesday, Happy Amazon Big Deals Day.
It's been July. July was their main Prime Day that

(03:39):
they did. I really appreciate you guys using the links
that you did for the July Prime Day. They extended
that Prime Day to like four days this time. That's
the first time they've done that. I believe today the
Big Deals Day, which they did last year they did
last October was an Amazon Big Deals Day kind of

(04:00):
part of their Prime Day specials and whatnot. Today is
just today and tomorrow. This year is just today and tomorrow,
two days of sales and discounts and stuff that you
might see elsewhere and you might not. Someone asked in
the chat a minute ago if these deals were just
as good or better or not as good as Black Friday,

(04:23):
And that's a good question. That's a good question. I think.
My answer to that is it really depends on what
you're looking for. I think they will places like Reddivus
and Ecoflow and Reenergy and Goal zero and Jackerie and
some of these places like that will put sales on
their equipment for everything. I mean, you're going to see

(04:44):
a lot of Eco flow stuff in there today and
on Black Friday and everything. But you know, if you're
looking for something a little bit more unique than that,
it might be on sale today, it might be on
sale Black Friday. Don't know which one's going to be better.
It really kind of changes a lot. So yeah, yeah,

(05:04):
that's true. Jason. What's up with Prime Day like thirty
days a year now? Yeah? Well, I mean Amazon's making
all these sales, you know why not? I mean, if
you wear Amazon, wouldn't you do this all the time. Also,
this is why we've done a gigabarts let's make a
deal thing like three times this year. So what's up Bill?

So let's take a look at some stuff. Suggestions in
the chat are welcome for what we're going to be
talking about today. Also, I'm gonna say this upfront, just

(06:37):
to clear the air and for FTC type rules. Okay,
pretty much everything I'm gonna be sharing in the live
stream in the chat today will be affiliate links. Affiliate
links do help to support the channel. I can earn
a small commission from all pretty much all the links
I'll be sharing today, So if you don't want to

(06:59):
do that, then just go to Amazon dot com and
follow along with what we're doing. But the idea list
for Prime Big Deal's Day is pinned to the top
of this chat. I'm gonna bring that up here in
a second. But if you want the link, scroll up
to the top or just look at the top of
the chat window. It's pinned up there, so it stays
there even though the chat is scrolling. And that is

(07:19):
an affiliate link. So if you don't want to use
my affiliate link for whatever reason, that's okay. Just go
to Amazon and do your thing. So the first thing
I'm going to talk about my website here. Now, these
aren't affiliate links. I make direct money from these because
this is stuff that I sell retail. So my website
is doing pretty well. A lot of you were on
my email blast this morning, which is ham Radio two

(07:42):
dot com forward slash email Dash sign up. If you're
not on that sign up list, please go sign up.
I try to keep everyone updated with what's going on.
We send an email out about this live stream today
and several of you placed in order after that email
went out. The mystery boxes are doing well. The subscription
service is doing pretty good. I've received some really good

(08:03):
feedback from you guys who are on the mystery Box
subscription service. So what I did was I went into
my email box, my email system that's right here, and
I created a brand new email list just called Mystery Boxes,
and I've got about one hundred and five ish people
on it something like that. If you are and it's
just for subscription boxes, not for the one offs. If
you've ever ordered a subscription box, whether you're active or

(08:25):
whether you canceled it, you got invited to that list. Yeah,
actually you got added to the list without an invite.
I just added you to the list. But if you
don't want to be on the list, there's an opt
out at the bottom, so it's it's totally legit. But
I send email out yesterday. I was like, Okay, here's
a survey I wrote up, give me some feedback, and
about twenty twenty five percent of you have replied to
that and given me some really really good feedback. Okay,

(08:48):
So I dropped a couple of hints in that email
list as to what to expect for the November box,
and we're gonna have some cool stuff coming up in November, January,
and March of next year. So thank you to those
of you who support me on the Mystery Boxes. We
are trying to get it to where I'm fine tuning it,
fine tuning it pretty much. All the boxes have been

(09:09):
filled with stuff that is the most popular sales items
from my website, including Edfong Intenna's, which is by far
the most The most popular item that I sell on
the website period is Edfong Antenna's all of the versions
and every Amateur Extra this top level mystery box. Every
Amateur Extra mystery box up until now, May, July, and

(09:29):
September have all had Edfong and tenna Is. So I
appreciate you guys who support me on that sign up
for the email list here, and this is going to
be what we're looking at today for the Amazon Idea list.
So yeah, please please let me know in the chat
if you want us to look at anything specific. This

(09:52):
is good one w four wag give a shout out
on one today an excellent idea. That is a great idea.
I wish I'd thought of that. Uh hf Intenna's are
always interesting on prime days. Yeah, we can look at
some hf Antenna's. Here's what I've put in here so far. Okay,
now some of these may not. It doesn't look like
this one right here has the big red sticker underneath it,

(10:14):
but if you click on it you still might see it. Yeah,
this one actually has dropped, so they've dropped that one.
But sometimes you click on these and even though they
don't have a red sticker on it, like right there,
lowest price in thirty days twenty three percent off for
that Balfaning Abris copy antenna, a copy of an Abris
antenna that's in there right there, Master Hawk nine hundred

(10:37):
and thirteen megahertz antenna, which would work well for meshtastic,
and Laura dropped off a sale, so I'm gonna clean
this up a little bit. All of these items were
on sale at least at some point in time, but
you can see all this stuff in red is still
on sale here. I did find this Redivus m A one.
This is still on sale twenty percent off usually two
ninety nine on sale today for two thirty nine. Had

(11:00):
some pretty good luck with that radio. Made a video
about it a couple of months ago before my thirty
Days of Him radio. These I NIU portable chargers here.
I have talked about several of these in the past.
They've got When I started using these, they had like two,
maybe three models. Now they've got like eight, okay, and
I own three or four of these models. This is

(11:22):
the one that I carry in my little shoulder bag
that I carry with me. It's twenty two point five
watt hours and twenty I'm yeah, twenty two point five watts,
ten thousand million empowers USBC fast charging, and twenty six
percent off of that one. Today. I've got its big brother.
I've got its other big brother, and I've been really

(11:43):
really happy with these power banks. These I NIU chargers
have been great. Cobra walkie talkies tupac here pretty sure that, yeah,
those are just like fest walkies. This is I'm not
really familiar with this, but I saw it was on
Big Deal discount. Twenty three percent off of this Mcbasil

(12:07):
Mcbasil Suircom SW one O two digital vhf UHF one
twenty five to five twenty five min hurts and ten
of power in SWR meter, So forty six bucks for that.
And the reviews on it. There's nine one d and
sixty four reviews and it's got four point six out
of five stars. That tells me that it's probably pretty

(12:27):
darn good. Okay, with that many reviews and four point
six out of five stars, it's probably pretty darn good.
So that's good. There. These life Poke four chargers are good.
They're very noisy RFI wise, so chargerr batteries overnight while
you're not talking on the radio. But these are really good.
I've got two or three of those. There's another I
n IU portable charger right there. This one's a flat

(12:49):
same size million hours wise, but it's a little bit
wider and taller, but flatter than that last one. We
just looked at Eco Flow. I mentioned Ico Flow earlier,
fifty one percent off of this Delta Pro. Now, this
Delta Pro is you can see there's a thirty m
PARV plug on the front of that right there. This
Delta Pro is what I ran my RV on during

(13:11):
all of hunting season last year. I had the trailer
plugged in as my old trailer. I had the trailer
plugged in to this RV, to this RV, to this
battery bank, and I had the smart generator plugged into
the back of it. And when the battery got down
to like twenty percent, the generator would kick on, charge
the battery back up to eighty percent, and then shut
itself off. And it would keep doing that till it
ran out of gas. This year, I've got a larger generator.

(13:34):
I've got a larger smart generator, gasoline power generator. We're
gonna be doing that again. I'm making several videos about ecoflow,
but ecoflow always runs really good sales for these Amazon
deal days. Fifty one percent off of that sucker right now.
Thirty six hundred watts, five outlets, including an RV plug
and it I've had. I've had this for about This

(13:55):
will be the second season that I've had this, and
I've used it periodically throughout the year i've got it.
I keep it charged in my home when my battery,
when my not my battery, when my power goes out
at home because of a storm or something, or because
this electric company that I have is stupid and a
lot of times they don't tell you when they're going
to turn the power off. I go plug this into
my internet and my TV and and I can get

(14:16):
back online and do stuff until the power comes back on.
So that is where that is right there. So several
other things down here, got some anchor power stations. This
Balfang five RM. You guys want to bowfang, somebody said
Balfang earlier in the in the chat. So here you
go here's some balfang stuff, the pack of a two

(14:40):
pack of bowfangs. There we go. So the oh, these
camping lights are really cool. These string lights USBC chargeable.
I've got a couple of these, twenty one percent off.
Right now, go out to your campsite, go out to
your backyard. String this up, turn it on. It's got
two three four stages brightness, dim, it'll do flashing, it'll

(15:01):
do solid whatnot. These are really cool. Rob brought one
of these to more Expo like two years ago, and
I think we all bought one. And now I've got
like three or four of them. So I strung this
up when I was camping the last time I was
tent camping in Colorado, I strung this up inside of
my tent, and this is what I use for my
night light inside the tent. So multipurpose in that regard.
But those are cool lights right there. So some other

(15:23):
stuff down here that you can see, these Redivus GMRS handhelds.
Let's see the red of us RT ninety seven GMRS repeater.
More eco flow stuff down here for smaller options. Alliance
HD one ham radio twenty eight percent off of that
right there. And this is all in this idea list

(15:46):
that's pinned to the top of this chat. So Bill, yeah,
Bill saying those ogreye lights are very useful. Yeah, Bill,
I think you were the one of the ones that
got suckered in by Rob at the more XBO couple
years ago. I know I did so, all right, So
I haven't been watching the chat. I don't have a
Frank today, Okay, Chad, DMR HT Radios. Let's just let's

(16:07):
just go ahead and search. So if you you go
up here and you click on Prime Big Deals, it
brings up this page. I don't know that there's really
Sometimes they'll put like an extra drop down in here
next to it where it says all right there. Sometimes
they'll put an extra drop down in here for Prime
Day or something like that. They don't really have that today.

(16:28):
They do have what's called just for Prime, and I
can search for that. So I'm gonna search for DMR
radio and we scroll down here. And this is not
just a Prime Big Deal's Day search. They've changed their
regular button to an orange color, so it's kind of misleading,

(16:48):
but you got to scroll down and look for the
Prime Big Deal sticker, this red sticker, this beneath everything.
So there's the d M one sixty eight by er.
I think this is a copy of that any tone
one sixty eight that Bridge Com sells. Let's see. Probably

(17:10):
I'm going to add that one to the kart. There,
uh fifteen percent off of that one. There there's a
Balfaaning DM seventeen oh one frequently returned item. It says
right there, frequently returned item. Let's see, I've had mixed

(17:34):
results with those. Those are okay, They're okay during OKHD.
I would rather have that one sixty eight quite frankly,
It's smaller, more compact, has more memory channels, easier to
program from the front panel. Rad Tel RT four D
Now I've reviewed some rad Tel radios in the past,
I have not done one of their dmrhts yet. This
is also a frequently returned item. I'll go ahead and

(17:56):
put this one in the list. Though. I get a
lot of people coming by the channel every time I
start talking about ahts and the best hts and my
favorite ht's and whatnot. And people are real big on
radtail for some reason. A lot of people really really
like radtail, and I've found a couple of them that
RT eight eighty G was a cool radio. I found
a couple of them that I like, but more often

(18:16):
than not they have very bad spurrious emissions. That eight
ADYG was good, though, and the nine to twenty that
I reviewed was not as good as the AD eighty
as far as spurs, but it was still better than
stuff I've reviewed in the past. So if if radtail
is your thing, they will do a lot. A lot
of them have full HF receive, a lot of them
will transmit on ten meters and on six meters also,

(18:38):
But do your thing there. Somebody asked about the DM
thirty two UV from Balfang. I don't have this radio
yet now. I was at gigaparts two or three months ago,
and they talked about how one of the guys that
I met there was talking about how much he really
he was not expecting much and he bought this radio

(19:01):
and he's really really enjoyed it. He says, this worked
really well. It's much better than you than he thought
it was going to be. So I need to get
one of these and test it out for myself. I
have not done that yet, but someone asked about this
model here in the chat a minute ago. Watson Hurt
says that seventeen oh one works well on open GD.
I've heard that too. I have not tried open GD,

(19:21):
but yes, I've heard that same thing. Oh, here's one
in a different color, a desert tan color. Only five
percent off of that one though, five percent? What was
this one? Twenty percent? Why is that more expensive? Seventy
nine there? Seventy one there? This one's fifty five bellfang DMR.

(19:54):
That one doesn't say DMR. This one says DMR. Thirty
two percent off of this one right here. That one's
probably good. You know what, I might just add that
to the cart. Did I add that to I did
add that to my list. I'll go back and grab
that later. Now's a good time to pick up radios
to do videos about if you're like me and you

(20:16):
do that sort of thing. So radiotity dB twenty five
d twenty percent off of that guy, you might check
redditus RT eighty five for a good little budget HT
two pack for thirty two dollars RTA five. I'm pretty
sure I've got one of those. I've had one of
those for a while. Okay, let's go redivus RT eighty five. Yeah,

(20:47):
I know Redivus is running a sale on a lot
of their radios right now. RT eighty five. Oh no, uh,
that's the RT five R. Nevermind RT eighty five, not
finding that one RT forty eight A bou Fang K

(21:08):
six three. What the heck is that? Tryband? Never heard
of a K six y three? Guys heard of this?
It's got one point two five meters in it, It's
got FM Noah weather receive USB C nine hundred ninety
nine channels wireless frequency copy. The heck does that mean

(21:29):
CHIRP compatible? Coyote brown? I like that. Look at that
twenty three bucks you know what? I'm gonna probably buy that. Yeah,
it's a great time to buy stuff to make future
videos with. Here we go. I see some super chats
in there. Give me one second here prime or no

(21:50):
big No, not big Spring, Come on? Where'd you go?
I wish they would put these in some sort of order,
but they don't Prime Big deals twenty twenty five right there? Okay,
all right, Jason, Uh, thank you for the support nine
member for nine months. Also thank you for the ten

(22:11):
dollars super Chat. Appreciate to be in here. You should
install keep a chrome extension so that you can compare
the history price. Huh, I haven't heard of that one.
I've got another one that does that. But I'm actually
using Brave right now, not Chrome but Brave. But most

(22:32):
of your Chrome plugins and extensions will work in Brave.
So Watson hurts you, says, that is the art The
eighty five you're talking about this Balfang here is the
same thing, the Redivus RT eighty five. That wouldn't surprise me.

(22:56):
I don't see that Tupac you were talking about though, Yeah, yeah,
for sure, spending those Amazon commissions already. Yeah that's okay. Hey,
I'm making videos. It's a business expense, all right. What

(23:17):
else we've spent some time on t N Frank, The
RT forty is actually a decent little entry level DMR radio.
I have two in just order a third of the
dis kind of price. So have you done a spurry
submissions test on it? Because I wonder about that? But
good info, Thank you for sharing. What else? What else

(23:40):
besides dmrhts there we go? Okay, it is shown as

(24:01):
twenty eight percent off. Yeah, this is okay. Yeah, I'm
familiar with these r T eighty five long range. Yeah,
those are a decent radio you can. That's like it
looks like a UV eighty eight, except it's These aren't

(24:22):
DMR radios. Though this is not saying DMR on this.
I'm pretty sure that's reddif is his answer to the
UV eighty eight, or to the QR Z one, which
Gigabart cells Ham Radio's long range high power walkie talkie
duel band built in VFO DTMF VOX emergency premaredness flashlight

(24:42):
handheld radios for family survival, camping, hunting. Yeah, these are
not DMR radios, or at least it's not saying they
are talking about CTCSS tones here. Yeah, that's just a copy.
I mean it's not a copy. They're they're all the
same thing. This is the same thing as the Balfang UV.
I'm sorry, the t X tw eighty eight. Mesh Tastic.

(25:04):
Let's look at Meshtastic. Hey, what a great idea. Okay, Meshtastic,
all right, These these goofy ESP thirty two Laura Heltech
V three devices are always on sale five percent off

(25:25):
I guess. Okay, like one of the very first original
mesh Tastic devices, which there's nothing wrong with them, but
you got to have an external battery. There's a lot
better options out now, with a lot more features. In
my opinion, this is a good starting point. It's good
starting point. Or you want to let it just sit
on the shelf and run, it's a good option. But

(25:50):
let's see. Yeah, another V three board right there. So
none of these really have the Prime Big Deal Day
tag on him. That's neat. What is this huh mesh
Pocket q I two magnetic power bank. That's cool. Ooh,

(26:12):
I'm gonna have to check that out. Nope, okay, not
much in the meshtastic stuff showing on Prime Big Deal's
Day other than those hell Tech V three boards. Mark
safe from spending money on Amazon today. Let's see hell

(26:39):
Tech V four out. Jeff says, hell Tech V four
let's see right there. Kind of neat. Okay, I'm gonna

(27:01):
put this in another list. I'm gonna put this in
my mestata. I have a meshtastic list up here too.
If I could find it, there we go. It's not
on sale. Uh yeah, these are the V three boards
here again, those are always on sale. Again, it's only

(27:22):
five percent off, so it's not big sale. What is this? Oh?
Is that the oh Seed Studio chow. Look at that. Okay,
I saw a KB five U T Y in the
chat a minute ago. Yeah, there he is. Check it
out these Chow devices. These things are cool because they

(27:43):
have a USB A They're USBA, aren't they. I think
they're USBA. And you just like plug it in to
like a USB charging port in your house or something,
and it and you just leave it there and it
becomes like a mestastic like a client, like a repeatable client.
You can put in client mute if you want to.
I guess, but you know it it it can. You

(28:04):
can expand you can put one of these in like
every room in the house and expand your mession never
or your office maybe, or one out in the shack,
one in the garage something like that. These are cool
devices though, and little, uh little, a little foreshadowing here
and let you all in on a little secret. Hold on,
hold on, real quick, little secret. You ready, Okay, It's possible,

(28:30):
but don't ask me how I know this. It's possible
that some of my future mystery boxes might include these
child devices. Don't tell any when I told you that,
but yeah, that it might include these child devices. So yeah,
those are uh, those are these are not gonna be
long range devices at all. You're not gonna you're not

(28:50):
gonna want to put these on top of a building
or up on a tower or something. But this will
expand the like if you've got a dead spot in
your house. He's plugged one of these into a USB
port somewhere and just let it. Just leave it there
or let it run and it'll and then you hang
a mesh tastic like an outside solar node on your
chimney or on your tower or somewhere on top of
your house like that, and then this thing will provide

(29:11):
a larger range of network for it. So just that's
actually the AI camera okay, mess sence camera. Oh it
does say camera sensor. But isn't this the oh? So
this goes in? Okay, so I was wrong. That's still
cool though. That child device is still cool though. Let's
let's just look at the Seeds studio store here. See

(29:35):
what else is in here? HU currently unavailable? That T
one thousand echo. That's not surprising. I've got one of
those in my pocket right now. Okay, here we go,
look at that. Okay, so that's the uh, that's the
camera there? Right? Okay? Is this the Okay, this is

(29:59):
the they x iao, they call it. They've calls that
a chow chow like the dog chow so or show
or is it shaw something like that. I don't know.
I don't sprecken zy Mandarin, but uh, wearable devices. Yeah,
those look like USB c reports on that shao and

(30:23):
three pack three pack fifteen percent off of that three
pack there, so let's go probably, yeah, let's add those two.
These are cool devices. I mean, I just I think
that those are really neat devices myself. Are they all

(30:44):
ESP thirty two Dave or that new what's it in
our NRF or whatever that new chip is, or any
of them with that new chip on them? Here it is,
if I answer my own question right here, it was
a chow with an NRF fifty five forty Okay, So

(31:04):
I'm not I'm not a programmer, and I can't tell
you the difference between these, but I can tell you
this these NRF chips, the battery lasts a lot longer.
Of course, on these, it probably doesn't matter because you're
gonna leave it plugged into a USB power source all
the time. Anyway, it doesn't have its own battery. But
if you ever have another mestastic device, and you have
a choice between ESP thirty two and this new NRF chip.

(31:26):
The NRF chip is much easier on battery life. It
probably does some other stuff too. Probably does some other
stuff too, so I'd not well versed in all of that.
So look at this chow ESP thirty two C three

(31:49):
tiny MCU with Wi Fi and Bailey for IoT controlling
scenarios micro controller. Okay, then that's kind of neat a
lot of cool stuff in here. So let's see looking

(32:33):
at the S five ranger. Yeah, those rangers are is
mestastic about as useful as APRS. Actually, actually APRS is
probably more useful as a ham. But mestastic is cool
because I got three mestastic messages this morning from people
flying out of DFW, flying out of the airport, and

(32:57):
I replied back to him and they went through. That said,
the message went through, So APRS will do more. You
can create objects on APRS. You can send messages, you
can send text messages to someone's phone, you can send emails,

(33:18):
that kind of thing. But messchastic is up and coming
and pretty cool stuff. Dave, Is this the chow that
I need? Is that the right thing? Chow in a
three piece pack because I'm gonna grab that if it is.
I think that this is the one. I think that's

(33:38):
the one. That's the base port that you can add
the camera to or something like that. Is that it there?
I think that's it, all right, So let's look at
something else. Upgraded battery for T deck. Let's just look
at T deck T deck Boom, okay, Lilygo makes a

(34:05):
T deck. I've got one of the T decks from
Spec five with their that's their extended one. It's got
the big Honker case on it. It's got two eighteen
six fifties in it. That battery last for freaking ever.
Let me tell you that right now. T deck Pro
that's it. That's that new thin one. I haven't had
my hands on one of those yet. Depends on what

(34:27):
battery your T deck has. My T deck has eighteen
six fifty. So yeah, give me a link, Dave, thank you.
There's too many things called choo man. This typical Chinese stuff.
They put the same name on everything. TYT does that.

(34:48):
They put the same model number on like six different radios.
I just want the main one. I just want the
real one. Oh, let's see Okay, no, not much with
the T deck there there's that might be it right there.

(35:08):
I don't know. SAMD twenty one pre sorter, the smallest
are duino micro controller based on SAMD twenty one with
rich interfaces. Okay, I don't want to give you all
the wrong thing. Here we go, but okay, what else? Yeah,

(35:34):
that t dec pro is nice. I mean it looks cool,
so atack and mestastics somewhat work together. I've been trying
to get somebody who knows something about Attack to come
on the channel for a while, but I can't really
find anybodyho's willing to come on to a video. I
really want to do a video about, you know, getting
to know Attack and diving deeper into Attack. There is

(36:00):
I can't answer the question about whether it's more useful
for than mestastic or not. I would guess that since
Attack is primarily designed Attack is Android tactical, so it's
primarily designed for Android, which is totally cool with me.
But I don't know if it works. I don't know

(36:20):
if they've integrated iPhone into it or not. Will meshtastic
works on everything? So seems a little bit more universal?
All right? What else are we going to look for today, guys, solar.
Let's go solar panel just for the heck of it,

(36:45):
all right, two hundred watt solar panel eighteen BB twenty
five percent high efficiency end type. Okay, that's from r
V powser poz w R. Okay, that one's got one
hundred and forty two reviews with four point two out

(37:08):
of five stars. Fifteen percent off of that, let's see. Oh,
let's look for some flashlights also. I found some really
cool flashlights earlier. O Light has a bunch of their
stuff on sale now. I sell O Light on my website.
I'm an O LIGHTE dealer now. But the prices on

(37:29):
Prime Day are going to be better than what I
can offer on my website. So if you find something
on Prime Day, go get it there. Eco Worthy, that's
a good brand. Two hundred what with high efficiency Mono
Christian solar panel and a thirty PM charge controller. Twenty
percent off of that kit, right there, let's see, keep

(38:02):
scrolling too far down Prime Big Deals twenty twenty five.
There we go. Okay, we just linked it to MQTT
here and the network explode. Yeah. MQTT can get kind
of dangerous if you don't use it correctly. So uh,

(38:23):
let's see. Here's my favorite, one of my favorite solar panels. Uh.
Let's see if they have it on here or not.

(38:44):
This one right here. Okay, it's not on sale though.
This solar panel suitcase right here is really cool. Comes
with its own charge controller in the back of it.
You just connect it via alligator clips to your battery
and go fully integrated. I did a video about this
unit three years ago on my unplug channel and that

(39:05):
is today my highest watch video on that channel. So
too bad that's not in sale right there. I saw
a four hundred WAT portable for three nineteen. Let me
look at that, the bearded him. I have a UV
five R Mini. I have one of those. I bought

(39:27):
it during my thirty days of Ham radio, so I
haven't made a video with it yet, looking forward to it.
Dave had one at Beltonham Expo last weekend and he
said he was liking it, so I have high hopes
for it. I don't know about the purity test on it.
We're gonna have to find out about that, but it
does seem to work well regardless of the purity test.

(39:48):
Sounds pretty good. It was uh, the audio on it
was a little low because Dave would talk into his
All Star system and it sound fine on the ball Fang,
but the Yeah and Icon were overdriving the system, which
is probably a setting in in All Star. He mitigated

(40:09):
that temporarily, I hope, by turning his mic game down
on his Icon radio, which is fine, works, but you
shouldn't have to do that. It's all is setting an
All Star. I don't see that panel you're talking about
increased noise. I saw a four hunder what portable for
three nineteen, So I don't know if you saw that.

(40:37):
Seed Okay, just checked Seed chow Meschastic kits not on
Amazon yet. Okay, all right, Dave, thanks, no prom but
I did trade emails with someone at Seed Studio. Dave
put me on contact with him and I said, hey,
I'd like to you include some of your stuff in
my future mystery boxes, and that was one of that
was one of the things that they suggested, which I'm like, yes,

(40:57):
of course, that makes perfect sense. They're small, inexpensive, they're
very tech minded. You can get if you've never done
Messa Tastic before, you can get started with one of
those very easily. So yes, uh, increased noise. You can't
post links in the chat. I have that turned off
due to spambots. But if you do, you have me

(41:19):
on Discord, send me a Discord message, Send me a
direct message on Discord. Let's look okay, Pie five, let's
look at that. Let's look at Raspberry pie Did I
type that? Y'all? I don't know what I'm typing? All right,
Pie five, eight gigabyte kick, sixty four gig edition active

(41:44):
cooler with all of this stuff for one oh nine
fifteen percent off, eight gigabyte boards, sixty sixty five gig
s micro SD card. So that's pretty good fifteen percent
off there. Okay, there's a seed Studio Raspberry Pie five

(42:11):
starter kit that's not on sale, though there's a can
of kit. There's a four gig board seventeen percent off,
comes with a cooler, a little screen, and whatnot. Again,

(42:35):
I'm adding all of these things to the idea list
that I'm that I've pinned to the top of this chat.
Wa I'm sorry. W four wag says I got the
Hotspot Radio all Star node you suggest. I'm very happy

(42:55):
with it. Good, good, excellent. That's the one I'm running
in my truck full time right now, I've been running
it for three months something like that, so it's still
when I was on when I drove to Huntsville, that's
the one I was talking on. And when I drove
to Uh, when I drove around for that thirty Days

(43:16):
of Ham Radio, that's the one I was using for
those videos as well. Let's see gen you know what, doc,
I was meaning to look at that G ninety because
sometimes that will go on sale and sometimes it will not.

(43:36):
G ninety that's not a great prob Wait a minute, Okay,
fifteen percent off everybody. Every time I do one of
these live streams about an Amazon sale, people ask about
the G ninety, and I don't blame you. Uh, The
best price I have ever seen on a G ninety

(43:58):
a normal price is like sixty something for twenty five
right now, right here, it says for sixty five from
the zeygu store on Amazon. I think you can get
those for about four and a quarter from Bridgecom if
they still sell them. They used to. But the best
price I've ever seen on a G ninety was a
Black Friday sale couple of years ago, and I think

(44:20):
it was around three seventy five three sixty five, three
seventy five something like that. So this fifteen percent off
for three ninety five is a pretty good price. So
we're gonna add that one to the list. Right there,
comes with the little red boo. Now it probably doesn't
come with that. Actually, Freddie mac is using the duplex

(44:47):
hotspot radio. Freddie Mack is the one that turned me
onto the USB version that I've gotten the truck and
we did a video together about putting it, getting it
up and running. I haven't posted that video yet because
it's about two hours long and I'm doing some edits
on it, but that will be posting on the channel
very soon now that I'm done with my thirty days
of ham Radio. Let's see. Okay, somebody mentioned something else. Okay,

(45:11):
let's let's look at that UV five R Mini. Iron
Bunny says, I used a UV five R Mini to
talk to you on All Star. Yeah. I think I
think several people have done that. Honestly. Let's see this
one right here. No, that's not that's not it. That's

(45:32):
a lie. This is it right here? Doesn't look like
it's on sale? Ten percent off? Okay, UV five R
Mini Ham Radio Long Range I don't know if that's
a two pack or they just got two of them
sitting there next to each other in that picture. It's

(45:52):
a little bit misleading. It doesn't say two pack in
the description, but it does say ten percent off. Yes.
Package includes two radios, two batteries, two nine centimeters nine

(46:14):
cm intennas to Gooseneck contennas, two headsets, to USB charging cables,
one manual. There we go. So that is a two pack.
Ten percent off, that two pack right there. Okay, added

(46:37):
that to the list. So yeah, I've got one of those.
I'm looking forward to trying it because in fact, here's
the one. Here's the one. I purchased this purchase in August.
It took like three weeks to get in. I think
I purchased it early, so it arrived in September when
I was doing my thirty days a Ham radio. But
that's the one I have right there. It look it's
in red now, sort of in red. It's got a

(47:01):
red stripe on it. Who cares? This one's actually in yellow.
This one's in orange. Looks like they're all twenty percent
off right now, there's a two pack with yellow and orange.
Pretty sure the one I got was just black. I
just got the black one. Dave had a clear one.

(47:22):
I haven't seen that one. I haven't seen where that
one's for sale. Let's see, probably big deal, is they
right there? All right? Other saale with with without the

(47:47):
different antennas for thirty five dollars. Well, there's one for
twenty eight right there. Thirty Okay, how about this one?
Is this what you're talking about? Eighteen percent off? You
be five our mini. This's the green thirty five dollars
delivery date of October fifteen to seventeen, so that's like

(48:09):
two a week and a half away something like that.
Which okay, whatever black? Oh that one's gray yellow? Okay,
that is a little bit better price list. I mean,
if you want those extra antennas, then you know, get
the other one. I guess where we go. Okay, here's here,

(48:41):
here we go. Here's that clear one. This is the
one Dave had at the am Vest last weekend. Looks
kind of cool and somebody said it's smaller than it
looks like it is. It really is. It's it really
is kind of small, like in a good way though,
like it's nice and small in compact. Twenty percent off
of that one twenty eight bucks for the clear model.
You're gonna pay more because it's a clear model. It's
just fine because you get a two pack of green

(49:04):
ones for thirty five dollars and one clear one's twenty eight.
So all right, what else? Enough time on bowelfang what else?
Wa once again for those of you who join us.

(49:29):
Looks like we've got a few more Peach people watching
now the chat. This at the top of the chat
of the live chat right now is pinned this idea
list that I'm working on. Right here. This is the
idea list that we've gone through. I had a dozen

(49:49):
or so items added to this list before we started today.
I've added probably a dozen more since we've been live.
I do earn affiliate commissions on certain items that are
bought through my links, and those do help to support
this channel and support me because this is my full
time job. So thank you for using those. If you
don't want to use those, just go to Amazon Amazon

(50:10):
dot com and click on Prime Big Deals here at
the top right next to on the top right here
it says rufous, which is their AI tool. I haven't
used it. Prime Big Deals right there If you just
click there. You can search and browse through anything you want.
If you don't want to use my links for whatever reason,
totally cool, do that if you want to. But that's prime.

(50:31):
Big Deal's day will be today and tomorrow. Ham Radio
Antenna's Bill says, we talked about it, Bill, but we
didn't really cover anything. So let's just search for that
Ham Radio antenna. Now, this guy, this servituo QRP. How

(50:52):
you say that. I bought one of these last time
and it's sitting in my antenna bag, but I haven't
used it yet. That's not on sale. Somebody said somebody
did review on that. Who was it? Was it Walt?
Was it Jeff? Might have been Jeff in the chat,
I don't remember. Somebody did a review on that, and
I can't remember. Let's see here, there's some HT antenna's

(51:12):
a duplexer TID radio, a Brie style antenna's counter MATT
fifty magnetic counterpoise ground plane for HF intenna's what. That
looks gimmicky to me. It's got two reviews on it.
That would be worth trying it though, just just for

(51:34):
the heck of it. Magnetic ground plane. In theory it
should work. I don't know though it seems gimmicky. Okay,
then uh, let's see a Brie style intenna's there, balfang.
There was the Superintenda not on sale, Nogoya Tram fourteen

(52:01):
seventy seven. Somebody said tram for fourteen seventy seven. B
Let's see some ht stuff in their bill, but not much.

(52:23):
There's a dual band. Oh, that's a mini mini dual band.
That's performance on two meters is probably not very good
on that at all. There's a breed GMRS antenna, a
breed dual band stubbies. It's a yellow dual band stubby
that's kind of neat. Yeah, Walt did, Yeah, I think

(52:55):
you're right. Let's see, uh, Walt, I believe it was Okay,

(53:18):
Tram fourteen seventy seven. B let's look at that saw
fourteen seventy seven. That was not on sale fourteen seventy seven.
B overall pick sixty nine dollars not on big deal sale. No,

(53:43):
not on big deal sale. Sorry, Gable, that's a good idea, Bill,
alex Or, I'm sorry, Ayele? Is that how you say
your name? Four x five s W thank you for
the d X today New to Him Radio got my
license a month ago. Oh, will you be covering antennas
for Poto like Alpha? Not today? Not today. I have

(54:04):
some videos about that. I have some videos about antennas
for Parks on the Air, and I probably need to
do an update to it. It's like a year or
two old, but I mean it's still applicable. But there's
new stuff out that's come out since that video. So no,
we're just talking about what's on Amazon today. Gable. Let's
look at that. That antenna bag is on sale. I

(54:25):
might pick up another one of those non penetrating roof
mount Okay, then let's see there's their Mark three portable
antenna tripod. It's not on sale. Let's go to Gable store.
Let's just do that. Well, they had these bags on

(54:49):
sale when I first found them, and I guess I
must have just shared them too much because I don't
think they've been on sale since then. Unavailable. Okay, not
that one handheld antennas. Oh, look at that some loop antennas.

(55:13):
Have you do a yaggy dual band horizontal loop. I
wonder if that'd be worth it. Starting to do some
more sideband stuff myself on VHF UHF doesn't look like
any of the stuff's on sale though. Uh yazoo, we

(55:40):
can check. That brings up that red of US m
A one, which we talked about earlier. Bowfang, there's some
yeazy stuff on Amazon, but it doesn't look like it's

(56:02):
any of it's on sale. That's a cool looking radio.
I always thought that was a cool looking radio avon
trans aviation transceiver. Here you go, Bill, pick one of
these app Let us know how you like it. Not

(56:24):
on the sale? No, what else? Yeah, that loop is interesting.
PAC twelve Okay, let's look at that. Okay, No, this

(56:46):
one's got a fourteen dollars off coupon pack twelve forty
meter M ten induction coil sixteen percent off ten meter

(57:12):
induct or forty meter induction coil to add to the
PAC twelve. I guess like a shorty forty coil. I
guess never used a pack twelve. I'm gonna put this
on here just because twenty percent off this magnetic counterpoise

(57:36):
ground plane. I wonder if anyone's used this. Somebody said
Gigaparts had something like that. I have not used it.
If they do, what else? JPC twelve is in Austin
and Tennessee. I use my Buddystick Pro and it's virtually

(57:56):
the same thing. It's not exactly the same. It's pretty close, though,
and I really really like my buddy Stick Antenna JPC twelve.

(58:19):
Yeah that's the I guess that's the uh yeah, Goozi Goo.
That's the off brand one right, one hundred and thirty
eight bucks. Okay, it's not on sale though, it's not
on prime sale. Probably something I want to try one

(58:41):
of these days, but I'm going to wait for it
to actually go on sale. So hook both coils get
eighty meters. Also cool, a y'all, Okay, thank you, thank you,

(59:04):
a y'all, just like just like a y'all from Texas.
Saw the Hex ten on Amazon, but not on specific sale. Yeah,
I don't. Uh. These bigger name brands probably won't be,
although some of them are. Uh. Bridge Coom's running sales today.

(59:27):
I got an email from them Bridge Coom the Bluetooth
speaker Mic not here they are running something because I

(59:50):
got their email about it earlier. But it might be
they might be doing a They might be doing a
Amazon sale on their own website. That might be what
they were talking about. Huh, okay, what else? Yeah? The

(01:00:24):
resentenna is really good. I'm not sure if he's Does
he sell those on Amazon? I don't. I don't even
know the does chameleon? All Right, I got a phone call.
I gotta take guys, one second. Here, this is Jason. Okay,

(01:01:19):
I got an appointment that I got to go to
here in just a minute. I was just talking to
Jason on that Bluetooth device on NT five seven eight. Yeah,
those are good. Okay, what else? I got to wrap
this up here in about five to ten minutes, guys,
So what what else we want to look at today?

(01:01:44):
We looked at mestastic, We did antennas, we did bowlfangs,
we did solar panels. Oh you know what? Somebody said
something about a thirty emp hour battery earlier. Let's just
search for life po four. What happens? All right? Eco

(01:02:06):
Worthy twenty empower for fifty nine. This one's already in
my list. I've had this one in the list for
a long time. Twenty five percent off. Let's see, I
have I own these two. I think I made an
Amazon video about these. If I'm not mistaken. Flashlights, Yes,
thank you, I use these. These are rechargeable. I use

(01:02:28):
these in my my feeder mechanisms for my deer feeder
at the hunting Lease. Use those for about a year
or two something like that. They seem to die quicker
than a regular lantern battery, but they're rechargeable, so just
you put one in to the feeder and you keep
one charged, and when if one of the feeder dies,
you switch them out and you just kind of keep
going like that. So I've had pretty good luck with these.

(01:02:55):
They're one hundred ampower many, These many batteries are cool.
These many one hundred Empire batteries are cool. Not familiar
with this brand at all. High Sincere High Sincere of

(01:03:16):
two hundred and four reviews, four point two out of
five stars. Okay, it's not terrible. Twenty four percent off,
that's good. Let's see what else. There's a new Eco

(01:03:39):
Flow Trail three hundred DC portable power station. Forty four
percent off of that thing. It's got the XT sixty
solar input, two USBA outputs and two one hundred and
forty white USBC outputs and a cigarette lighter adapter. Sweet.

(01:04:01):
It's kind of like I've got an anchor model that's
very similar to that. Come on, okay, blue Eddy charger

(01:04:38):
one charger one? Oh is that the alternator charger? Yeah? Okay,

(01:05:05):
thirty eight percent off, that's good. I've got the uh,
I've got the ecoflow version of this. That's good. Thirty
eight percent off, that's good price. All right. Let's look
at flashlights. Forty percent off of that. I carry one

(01:05:38):
of these. I've got one of these in my pocket
right now. I've got one of these in my pocket,
and then got one of these in my shoulder bag.
These I Mini two's there. That's a USB a port
on the end of it. That's what you charge it with,
and then you pull the thing apart and it turns
on automatically once you pull the thing apart. This this

(01:06:01):
is a neat flashlight. I really like that flashlight. And
I'm not saying you will, but it's possible somebody I know,
I can't say who it is, it's going to have
these in his mystery box soon. Let's see. That's a

(01:06:30):
heck of a light there. Nebo never heard of them.
Most of this. Uh oh, okay, here's the oh look, okay,
this stream light. I carry this streamlight wedge. That's my
EDC I carry this in my pocket every day. It's
USBC rechargeable. It's it's smooth on both sides, so it's
easy to fit. It doesn't have like ridges or indentions

(01:06:54):
or something like that on the top and bottom, so
it's easy to slide into an out of your pocket.
I think I've charged this. I've carried this thing for
the last I don't know, maybe a year, and I
think I've charged it twice. Of course, I don't use
it all day long. I just use it kind of
off and on when I need it. But the battery
lasts forever. And this is a fantastic flashlight. Sixteen percent
off right now on that one. Really really like that

(01:07:21):
that flashlight. I've got one of these. It's pretty bright.
This Woobin E seven, Yes, the arc pro Ultrad. I

(01:07:42):
looked on the I said a minute ago, I said,
I was a dealer for O Light And I looked
on their website yesterday and they were back ordered. You
could still order them, but it was going to be
like three weeks before they would ship something like that.
So they've been popular in other words, which is good,
Which is good. Yeah, these woob and Mini. This has

(01:08:03):
a magnet on the bottom of it, so you just
stick it to something. And yeah, you see the knife
stuck into the tree and the flashlights attached to the
knife right there. That's kind of fun. Uh. These eclip

(01:08:30):
prosise are cool. Put those on your clip them to
your hat or to your shirt, your vest, whatever. Those
work well, U Wagon for PODA, Okay, that is pretty cool. Actually,

(01:09:34):
let's see look at this forty three percent off if
you really want to look like the typical ham radio
operator at a ham fest. There you go that that
would be cool for PODA. Though, I'll give you that
these things are pretty cool for PODA for a field day,

(01:09:57):
outdoor adventures or something like that. Three percent off there.
I do like that. Thank you for that. Arc Pro
arc Pro, wouldn't it? Yeah? Arc Pro? Let's see Arkfeld Ultra.

(01:10:27):
Yeah you said the arc Pro O light had to redo.
The production run delayed all of the arc Pro series.
I was able to get the beta. I think a
c K had a beta arc Pro at Huntsville. That's
the reason I know about it. Arc Feld Pro right
there off of that one. Yeah, see that that's kind

(01:10:55):
of what my stream light wedge looks like. I should
probably switch to an O light, since I'm a dealer
for them now and want to be able to say
that I use their products daily. Well, I actually do.
I have that ie Many too that I carry with
me every day. It's on my keychain every day I
have that. I use this one more often simply because

(01:11:17):
I could just reach into my pocket and pull it
right out. It's clipped to my pocket. I keep my
pocket knife on one side of my shorts and this
on the other side of my shorts, so a lot
of times it's easier to just reach down and grab
that rather than dig through my pocket and find my keys.
But I do have that ie Many too with me
every day as well. Yeah, these O Light's got some

(01:11:41):
cool stuff. They really have some cool stuff. If I
could do another brand, I might try to get another
brand a flashlight at some point that I can do.
But we'll see cool, all right, guys. Well, I've got

(01:12:04):
to I've got to shut this down and call it quits.
We've been going for just over an hour now. I
really appreciate y'all's time today. I appreciate you using the
link once again, this link in the top of the chat,
which I will share it again right now. Is my
ideal list for this Prime Day, Prime Big Deals Day,

(01:12:24):
And if you use these links, it does help to
support the channel because I can earn a small affiliate
commission on everything you purchase, whether you use something from
this list or click on the list and then go
purchase something else. I get everything. I get a Not
everything is commissioned on Amazon, but most things are, and
I can get a commission on anything you buy for
the next twenty four hours if you use that link.

(01:12:47):
So thank you for doing that. I am looking. I
reached out so some of you follow me on my
unpluged channel, And for the last three or four months,
we've been doing a base camp chack RV base camp
chat just kind of like talking live stream on the
last Sunday of the month. Did not do one last
month because our first Sunday them it was the first
Sunday of the month. Did not do on last month

(01:13:07):
because I was doing the thirty Days at M Radio
and I wasn't live streaming last month. So we're gonna
catch back up to this, probably gonna do the next
one this coming Sunday, and which we're going to talk
about a specific topic. But I send an email out
to those guys this morning, and I'm like, hey, why
don't we get on and talk about Amazon Prime deals
for OURV stuff? So we're looking at possibly doing that

(01:13:28):
at six pm tonight. I will send out a notification
if we confirm it, and you guys join me on
my unplug channel which is right here, there and here,
so we'll spin up a live stream and we'll talk
about some Amazon Big Deal Day's RV stuff, some of

(01:13:50):
the first things I bought for my new RV, for
both of my new RVs actually, so we will, hopefully,
fingers crossed, we will be live again tonight at six pm,
which which is about just under six hours from right
now six pm tonight, it's noon. Just it's twelve to
ten in Texas right now, so in just about five
hours and fifty minutes, we're gonna go live again on
