Thanks for the tip. Is the antenna male or female?

Your fridge takes about 400- 900 watts Instapot takes 500-1500

Good way to ruin ur fridge ,instapot ,and jackery Not designed for that

I do have to ask this question? I could understand, tilting the antenna back-and-forth, (it is kind of easy to do that, the spring is nice to it. Anyhow, what did you do to make it fall apart in so many pieces? 😊

Interesting stuff. I didnt know this zone existed and I'm relatively close to it in eastern KY (right on the VA border). Jeremy KF4CHW

Does your gps still work?

Bigger hammer

My duplexer is not labeling, is the low side usually on the left if holding the duplexer with connectors pointed down ?

That’s what you get for buying a green radio. Lol

So is it a common problem or just yours or all of them?

Hi, bought the speakers from your RUclips channel. They are definitely great speakers. Sound is nice. Thanks for video.😁

Might be an interesting temp setup for us who live in apartments on the ground floor.

Does your friend that builds the audio interface sell them? I'd be interested in buying one. Thanks!

Justo lo que estaba buscando y directo al grano, lo pusiste a prueba de todas las formas posibles.... se agradece 👍 👍 👍

If you get stopped by the police for not being hands free you might mention you have your GMRS license. Supposedly Ham operators and truckers have an exemption and the exemption might cover GMRS also.

Mornin J-Dubb! I've got a similar problem. I have a 2015 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited that I use mostly for fun (my Tacoma is my daily driver), but I'm struggling to figure out how I want to mount my Yaesu FT-8900R mobile radio in it (basically the exact same radio as your TYT 9800). The biggest issue as you said is the top is fiberglass, and I still have the stock back bumper which is plastic. So not a lot of good options for mounting a mobile antenna. I could mount a small 2m/440 antenna on the hood, but I'd like to get the 6m band also (the 10m band on both of those radios is useless as its FM only). And the antenna that is designed for these radios is a little tall to mount on the hood. Have you seen any good Wrangle mounts with an antenna on the back? i'd like to avoid drilling into the body. Cool video too and congrats to your wife on her graduation! Jeremy - KF4CHW

What does the bar measure

Need least 1200 W to run a coffee pot

I wanted to get my antenna off to run the KG-Q10G in mobile, mine was on so tight I destroyed the antenna, I do have a spare boafeng that works good but I'd l8ke to find the original, could you tell me the frequency range on the bottom of the antenna, I threw mine out and forgot to look at the frequencies numbers

But you can get a Coleman to cook on it’s not expensive. use the Jackery for charging items still a win win situation

Hey Big Dawg, do your homework about ferrite beads, you will clear up your system immediately and they are cheap insurance... Also, research "chokes", you'll probably want to install one before you antenna connection and one before the radio. These will ensure you're pushing all your available power out of that antenna, and since you've only got 6 watts, your range will show an increase. RUclips is your friend for these suggestions, love what you have going on, have a great day...

A few seasons use and being crumpled up and then set up a number of times will tell you the results. I can get rain to run off a pair of bluejeans for a time or three.

Whoa

Spend $1500 for a few cold drinks?

What kind of range do you get with this repeater? I’m curious to see what range you get with and without wifi connection.

I can't decide this guy's accent... It's southern but western brittish also.

Nice! Can't find this flag pole on your seller's page.

Question...doesn't the "R" stand for "reverse" and not "receive"? So technically, that would be your transmitting radio, right? I have these radios also and the instruction manual is one of the worst I've ever seen. Holy cow, it's bad. I'm having some trouble with mine staying on high power. Intermittently, I notice that I lose coverage and go check the radio, and it's on low power. Switch it back to high, but it does it again later. It's a very low use repeater, too, so I don't think it's getting hot. Initially when we installed it (with a duplexer, 50 ft LMR400 and a Tram 1486) I was able to talk on it 33 miles away. But since that day, we never been able to do it again. I'm baffled.

I’m confused 🤔 It looks like there’s a hole and a cave under the driveway , ? What in the two Sam hells am I looking at 🤣🤣🤣 ??? - - Edited .. hahaha oh I see now ,, it’s the drainage culvert under the driveway That looked crazy !

What antenna do you have mounted to it ? Is is sturdy enough to mount a typical copper tubing DIY 2 meter J-Pole antenna on ? That’s what I’m thinking about doing All I need to be is about 30 feet up to the tip of the antenna to hit local repeaters

I’m almost ready to get mine going. I just need one more radio and the duplexer

Can this be setup for mobile usage? Say, for my truck?

more frequent swabbing of the barrel will help. small caliber rifles gum up quicker than you would imagine i swab ever one to two shots

Glad you showed that too wobble for me. Cool though

Gl with the build!

Looks good. Watch out for the "magic smoke."

I ended up buying the whole rar87 repeater kit from retevis because I wanted a little more power than the ra97. I think I have it working for the most part, however, I’m not sure I have my tones set right. I’m using dts and using the same dts tone for both transmit and receive, I’m just curious if you know if I need to A) have those tones set in both the radios B) just have them both on one, either the tx or rx radio. C) have one radio with r-cd and the other with the t-cd set to the DCS tone. Currently I have both radios set with the same C-cd which sets both radios to have all the same c-cd, r-cd, and t-cd. I seem to be getting good transmission while I’m near the repeater, however as I gained distance I seemed to be loosing the transmissions (very minimal distance) . I did not have that little r function set that you went over but I’ll see tomorrow if having that turned on helps the functionality. Any insight in setting the tones would be much appreciated.

Those are some thicc eye brows bro

Great video. Playing with radio is a good way to build a community. Go full ham, you'll love it. 73

One of those simple kill-o-watt power monitors would have told you the same thing with fewer contortions. I'd advise anybody who is thinking about one of these Jackerys to invest 15 bucks in a meter/monitor to first decide how large a power unit you need to buy for whatever you want to power. Personally, I sprung for the 880, (will supply 1000 with a 2000watt surge) because I know it will power either my fridge or freezer. Tip: ANYTHING with a heater is gonna be a power black hole. Yeepers - I clocked my danged toaster at an 800 watt draw. Also, your kitchen fridge might be a lot newer or just plain a lot more energy efficient than the cheesy little dorm fridge. Needs further research on your part. Like I said - get one of those Kill-o-watt meters. Watch when it kicks in for the startup surge.

Hi Josh, I finished my Retevis repeater but with a 50 foot mast nested among thick miles of 100 foot pine trees it only works in our neighborhood. So, I saw your video here and it peaked my interest. Can you recommend a RUclips video starting point to get started for my repeater to go online?

Hold the signal stick straight up

Will it change an ebike, and how long will it take?

They look pretty cool! Thank you for sharing my friend!

Good informative video.
