    Thanks for your integrity, Josh. A lot of people listen to you and you're right...they should do it right, and we shouldn't accept anything else. 73

    I absolutely love my Yaesu radios (FT-60R) and (VX-6R). That said, when I talk to non-hams about EMCOMM and emergency preparedness, I still keep a Baofeng UV-5R within arm’s reach to show them how inexpensive it is to get into the hobby, or at least be able to monitor frequencies that will carry need to know information. Thanks for the video recommendations, and 73 from Southwest Oklahoma! Bryan K5WIX

    I recently bought an ID-50 and it’s my new favorite.
  • @thuff3207
    Nothing beats the Kenwood TH-D74 so I have 2 because it does more than anything else for me. I do need to get the Wouxun KG-Q10H it is just so useful and with crossband wow. Thank you for showing it.
