Get your very own Baofeng AR-152 SHTF radio here: https://amzn.to/3TUIEXu Get the very impressive shoulder-mic accessory here: https://amzn.to/4aboSfY Get the radio-phone handset mic here: https://amzn.to/3Jan0Zf In this video I re-visit the Baofeng AR-152 ham radio - a high-power, unlocked UHF radio perfect for SHTF, civil unrest, emergencies and even World War III.. The AR-152 is perfect for emergency communications because it is UNlocked, meaning that it can transmit on ham radio frequencies, GMRS, MURS, and many other frequency ranges. The large buttons and easy-to-read screen also make this a good choice for preppers or anyone that wants a emergency radio that works outdoors and in bright sunlight. Of course, because this is a ham radio the FCC says that you must have an amateur radio license (ham radio license) to transmit on the AR152 radio, but no license is required to purchase, own, posess or or listen to the Baofeng AR-152 or any other ham radio. ► Like my shirt?

As a creator on both Rumble and Youtube that makes money selling products on both of these video platforms I often get hate, and get accused of being "a shill". So in this video I explain what the word "shill" actually means, and I go into full-disclosure mode about how I deal with manufacturers and resellers when making affiliate sales on Rumble. I also discuss why I (so far) have never done any paid-endorsements on my Rumble or Youtube videos. I also explain why I always recommend that why, as a Rumble creator I always recommend that my viewers buy things on Amazon (preferably with my Amazon Affiliate links) instead of purchasing directly from manufacturer or reseller's websites - even when that means that I make a lower affiliate sales percentage. ►►► Like my shirt?

I explain what the UV-5R is, I explain the FCC rules and laws regarding using a UV5R ham radio, I explain what frequencies this Baofeng can receive, what a "locked UV-5R" is, what unlocking a Baofeng means, and much, much more.

In this video I reveal my solution for fighting ignorance and stupidity in America and rehabilitating people that are less smart. In this first installment I discuss how we (people that aren't ignorant) can all come together to fight ignorance in The United States, by educating those that are less fortunate than us when it comes to brains and I.Q. Then, by coming together we may someday witness our collective dream of an America without Ignorance. In this episode we will use the example of ignorant people claiming that a cell phone or smartphone is just as good as a two-way radio (ham, GMRS or CB), and that having a ham radio, GMRS radio or CB radio is a waste of time and money because to talk with other people, everyone just uses their smartphone. Please join me in my cause to fight ignorance! ►► Like my shirt?

You can review the FCC Enforcement Database and ensure my accuracy, here: https://www.fcc.gov/enforcement/orders Many amateur radio operators (aka ham radio operators) have accused me of spreading misinformation about FCC laws and FCC regulations. Many of these "Sad Hams" claim that I am lying or even encouraging people to break FCC law when I speak the truth about what actually happens if you break certain FCC rules and when I discuss how many people actually get in trouble with the FCC. So in this video I go over every person that the FCC has gone after, fined, or put in jail in the last 10 years for doing the things on their ham radios or GMRS radio, that I have said in past videos that the FCC does not care about. ►►► Like my shirt?

In this episode I explain what an "unlocked" ham radio or unlocked GMRS radio is. I explain what it means when a GMRS radio or ham radio is locked and the difference between an unlocked ham radio and a GMRS radio. I also discuss some of the FCC rules about using an unlocked ham radio and I talk about how amateur radio operators often react to people using unlocked GMRS radios on the amateur radio bands. Everything discussed in this video pertains to virtually all ham radios and GMRS radios such as the Baofeng UV-5R ham radio but this also applies to brands other than Baofeng such as Yaesu, Kenwood, and Icom ham radios. ►►► Like my shirt?

You can get yourself a USB-C battery for your Baofeng here: https://amzn.to/43dq7Jd In this very short video I showcase the "new", large, rechargeable USB-C battery for the Baofeng UV-5R ham radio and the newer UV5R GMRS version - not only the UV-5R but this USBC battery will also work with any other amateur radio that used a standard BL-5 sized battery (thats the battery that comes on the UV-5R) - So you can also use this USB-C battery with the Baofeng BF-F8HP ham radio, the UV-5X3 ham radio, the UV-5RTP, and the Baofeng UV-5R+ - NOTE that his battery does NOT work with the new Baofeng UV-5G+ GMRS radio, because the UV-5G Plus does not use the BL-5 sized Baofeng battery. Basically.. This is a higher capacity rechargeable battery for your Baofeng, that you can charge directly via USB-C. ►►► Like my shirt?

For this video I got bored and decided to start talking about some of the differences between ham radios and GMRS radios, the difference between the GMRS radio service and the ham radio service and some of the differences between ham and GMRS license. This video should in no way be confused with a video that discusses all of the differences between Amateur radio and GMRS - This video goes over only some of the more important differences between the two radio services. "Important" as determined by me. .. Music by Stern Beats - You can find him here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtZqpJDgfWkCOJR70ou674w

In this video I go over several reasons that many people do not bother to get a GMRS license from the FCC and why they feel that a license from the FCC is nothing more than a scam by an over-reaching government to try to control the population. AND, I go over several reasons that many people do choose to get an FCC GMRS license and why these people feel that a GMRS license or the FCC as a whole is not a scam, and why getting a GMRS license is important. Whether you use a Baofeng UV-5R, or any other Baofeng, or a "real" GMRS radio, these ideas still apply. ►►► Like my shirt?

In this video I will tell you what GMRS radio is the best and which GMRS radio you should buy - whether you are interested in a GMRS mobile radio for your vehicle or a hand-held walkie-talkie GMRS radio.

You can get the SW-102 SWR meter shown in this video here: https://amzn.to/3T4BxLG You can find even less-expensive SWR meters here: https://amzn.to/49F0K4V You can watch these videos that bust the myth that transmitting on a radio with a high SWR reading will necessarily damage the the radio: Transmitting on a Baofeng hand-held radio with no antenna: https://youtu.be/SdMLCDPc04Y Transmitting at 50-Watts with no antenna connected: https://youtu.be/X3r2K96hsGc You can watch The Smoking Ape's highly detailed video about SWRs here: https://youtu.be/5z6VnWC6V2g?si=BBOdRKD7C3Fkk3Mq In this video I explain what SWR is in very simple terms as it relates to CB radio and GMRS radios. I explain how to test the SWR of your CB antenna or GMRS antenna and I explain the reasons why you should check the SWR of your GMRS or CB radio antenna. I also explain why you do not need to spend a lot of money on an SWR meter and why using an inexpensive SWR meter is just fine for most people using a CB radio or a GMRS radio. ► Like my shirt?

In this video I explain why your transmitting volume may be low when using your ham radio or GMRS radio - In other words, why people can't hear what you're saying even though you are transmitting a strong signal. This is a comment problem with people new to amateur radio and GMRS radios. TL;DR: How to make sure everyone can hear what you say when you transmit on a ham radio, GMRS radio, CB radio, or even a child's walkie-talkie. ►► Like my shirt?

I explain why my new Thor's Lighting air system has now replaced my PowerTank CO2 tank as my primary source for airing-up my Jeep and I compare the Thors Lighting air compressor system to the Viair 440P, the ARB Twin-Canister onboard air compressor and I even compare the Thor's Lightning air-up speed to my Power Tank. For clarification, in case anyone is wondering, Thor's Lighting Adventure Gear did not send me this air-compressor for free and they have no idea I made this video. I paid full price for my Thor's Lighting Air system and am not being compensated in any way for making this video, other than my Amazon affiliate links. I did not even plan on making a video about this compressor when i purchased it, but I am so impressed with it's speed and low cost, I wanted so share it with my adoring fans and haters. ►►► Like my shirt?

Clarification: Even though the Radtel RT-470X ham radio is not locked to ham frequencies, and can receive AM AirBand, the 470X is not able to transmit on Airband frequencies. ► Like my shirt?
