Ham Radio 2.0

The second model of DMR HT from Wouxun is dubbed the KG-D2000. Still a monoband UHF radio (VHF version might also be available) this DMR HT is very solid and has familiar programming software to those experienced in DMR codeplugs. Some of the features are limited on this unit, such as the number of channels and contacts it holds, but it is still a solid radio with great potential for Ham Radio DMR use.Be sure to subscribe for more Ham Radio video: https://goo.gl/6hjh2JWouxun Website Info: https://goo.gl/vsVXqsIf you want to support me, follow my Patreon link: https://goo.gl/FkESU6

For Winter Field Day in 2019, we traveled to my hunting lease in Montague County, TX and operated under the callsign of KN5TR.

In January of 2019 I had the prviledge to travel to the set of Last Man Standing, the hit TV series on the Fox Network, where Mike Baxter, a rugged outdoorsman, played by Tim Allen, runs a store called Outdoorman, which includes his Icom IC-7610 base station and various Ham Radio gear. On the show, Mike Baxter has the callsign of KA0XTT, but in the real world, several of the LMS staff members have their Ham Licenses, and have formed a club under the callsign of KA6LMS. Several operators before me came to work the HF bands from the studio set on the gear seen in the show, but actually connected to a fan dipole with multiband operation abilities. This was a fun episode and I am glad I got to do it. We were even able to see a live filmingBe sure to subscribe for more Ham Radio video: https://goo.gl/6hjh2JIf you want to support me, follow my Patreon link: https://goo.gl/FkESU6

In Part 2, we look at the connection of the STM32 Pi-star device, build by Scott, N3XCC, and sold on the repeater-builder website.  These devices interface via the data port in the back of the BCR-series repeaters and are fairly easy to setup.  Take a look at the video for steps.The BCR-40U repeater is the Bridgecom 40-watt UHF repeater, but lots of clubs in my home area use the BCR-220 repeater for the 1.25M Ham Radio band.

I've been looking forward to getting some time to play around with, and program, one of these Bridgecom Repeaters, and now is that time. This will be the first episode in a small series, where I show the many features of the repeater, and what it can be used for. This will also be my new portable DMR repeater that I take with me when traveling, so expect to see it in several future episodes.The BCR-40U repeater is the Bridgecom 40-watt UHF repeater, but lots of clubs in my home area use the BCR-220 repeater for the 1.25M Ham Radio band.

My primary purchase from Black Friday of 2018 was the Icom ID-5100A Mobile DSTAR Radio from R&L Electronics. This radio isn't new, but it is the first time I have had a chance to make a video with one of these models, so I decided to post this video. I am looking forward to getting this radio mounted in my truck and doing some on-the-road videos with it, and also some DSTAR videos on this channel.After creating this video, I did follow up with R&L and learned that the "Deluxe" model comes with the faceplate mount, and not the body mount, for the radio. The body mount is sold separately for about $30.Be sure to subscribe for more Ham Radio video: https://goo.gl/6hjh2JCheckout my website: https://livefromthehamshack.tvIf you want to support me, follow my Patreon link: https://goo.gl/FkESU6Be sure to support my sponsors, who make this series possible:https://gifts4hams.comhttps://houstonhamfest.orghttps://www.randl.com
