How To Build A GMRS Repeater - Part II - Antenna, Duplexer, Coax, Grounding, & Idiots On Youtube
More planning on building my high power GMRS repeater out of two Wouxun KG-1000G GMRS radios. In this video I talk more about using the right coax for the repeater to reduce power-loss, mounting the GMRS antenna in a location that meets my requirements, and how to properly ground the antenna - actually, there will be no discussion on antenna-grounding as there are too many morons on Youtube that will post comments with bad information about how to ground an antenna "the right way" - instead I talk about where to go to find out how to correctly ground your antenna for lighting protection as well as proper RF ground. Any comments on this video about how to ground the antenna will be removed.

A Walk Around The Entire Salton Sea In Summer Temperatures of 120F
As California's Largest Lake (Salton Sea) approaches an environmental point of no return, I attempted to be the first person to walk around its hazardous shoreline in the soaring summer temperatures in order to prevent an ecologic disaster that could impact the entire western hemisphere.
Learn how my adventure at Salton Sea and this call to action can bring attention to the looming ecological disaster in California.

UPDATED Review: Baofeng UV-5X GMRS - Is the Baofeng UV5X Now The Best Inexpensive GMRS HT Radio?
Not shown in the video: UV-5X power output test results:
Power-output on GMRS CH1: 3.9 Watts (both high and low power setting)
Power output on GMRS CH8: 1.5 Watts (both high and low power setting)
Power output on GMRS CH16: 3.9 Watts (both high and low power setting)
Power output on Repeater CH3: 4.1 Watts (both high and low power setting)
It seems that the power-settings (menu item #2) do not affect the power-levels.
Correction: I mentioned that the UV-5X can use all UV-5R accessories - this is true except for the antenna. The UV-5X has a different antenna connector and requires a UV-5X/GMRS specific antenna.
This is an updated review for the new Baofeng UV-5X GMRS HT walkie-walkie radio. In my previous review of the UV5X GMRS radio I found some problems but Baofeng has done some fixes and says they have fixed all of the issues and problems that were in the first-run of the radios - The UV-5X is basically the tried-and-true UV-5R but with all of the FCC Part 95E rules for GMRS baked in, making the UV5X legal for use on GMRS bands. Is the Baofeng UV-5X now the best low-cost GMRS radio?

Wouxun KG-UV9G PRO Review UPDATE & Power Test - Best GMRS Prepper Radio For SHTF & Emergencies
This video is an update to my previous review of the KG-UV9G LITE version GMRS HT - In this updated video I go over more of the features of the UV9G PRO version. The Wouxun KGUV9G PRO is a 5-Watt Hand Held (HT) repeater capable GMRS walkie-talkie. The Wouxun UV9G Pro is designed for SHTF, preppers, and other emergency or 'off grid' type use and is pre-programmed for common prepper & SHTF frequencies. The UV9G comes with 876 pre-programmed federal and state government agency frequencies for scanning & monitoring. The KG-UV9G Pro can also monitor the AM Air-Band frequencies. All of these pre-loaded features make this GMRS radio a great choice for preparing for SHTF scenarios.

How To Use A Baofeng UV-5R As A Police, Fire, Emergency Scanner - NO SOFTWARE - Keypad Programming
Yes, you can use your Baofeng UV5R, Baofeng BF-F8HP and other similar Baofeng radios like a scanner to listen to and monitor police, fire, government, railway/trains, local city services, etc.. Step by step instructions to find what frequencies your local police, fire, emergency, rail and trains, government services and other agencies use, how to program the emergency and government frequencies and channels into your Baofeng UV-5R, and how to use the UV5R as a scanner including how to use buttons like the orange VFO/MR button and the blue A/B button. All configuration and programming is done on the keypad of the UV5R - no cable, no software, no computer needed. Note that the Baofeng UV5R can only receive standard analog radio transmissions and many agencies now use digital or trunked P25 systems - but many agencies still use analog radio systems. Many agencies also simulcast their digital radios on analog frequencies that you can listen to - I show you how to find those frequencies and how to put them into your Baofeng so you can use it as a scanner.
You can find the large/extended battery for the Baofeng UV-5R here:

GMRS HT COMPARISON! BAOFENG UV-5R & UV-5X, RADIODDITY GM-30, GMRS V1, KG-805G, KG-905G, KG-UV9G PRO

Easy 4x4 Exploring: OK Mine - Abandoned Mining Complex Near Joshua Tree - Old Dale Mining District
The OK Mine is an abandoned mining complex near Joshua Tree National Park, in the Old Dale Mining District. There are 3 or 4 ways to get to the O.K. Mine. Two or three are via very narrow shelf-roads from Doberman Mountain Road/Gold Crown Road side. The "easy" way is from Brooklyn Mine Jeep trail on the other side of the mountain.

How To Program A GMRS Repeater On Your GMRS Walkie-Talkie - Step by Step How To Connect A Repeater
It's easy to setup most hand-held GMRS walkie-talkie radios to connect to a GMRS repeater / transmit on a GMRS repeater. In this video I show you the simple steps using both a Wouxun KG-805G and a Wouxun KG-905G, but the steps are very similar on most other GMRS radios. My apologies for any audio issues. I have a new microphone and I didn't read the manual..

A Drive Around Salton Sea In 2021 - Is Salton Sea Drying Up? See How Much Smaller Salton Sea is Now
I take a drive around Salton Sea, California's largest lake, and show you the water levels at several popular locations as of 2021. I compare the current water levels to where the water was in the 1970's and in 2015 so you can decide if you think Salton Sea is getting smaller.
Correction: at 16:21 I made a mistake in my off-the-top-of-my-head mathz kalkulations - the actual difference in water level below the base of "The Target" is 21 feet - net result is the same - that's a big drop.

We go inside an abandoned military bunker buried in sand at the abandoned Salton Sea Navy Base
In 2014 we found "the small" lesser-known ammo-bunker at the abandoned Navy base (technically a "Naval Station") at Salton Sea (California). This ammo bunker (technically known as a 'magazine') is located a few hundred yards from the "Big" bunker that most people are familiar with. This smaller bunker was buried by the sand-dunes years ago and it took us several hours to dig-out the entrance so we could lower ourselves inside. The small rope you see was to help us climb back out as it's about a 10-foot drop or slide down the sand to get inside. The Salton Sea Navy Base (Naval 'station') was abandoned by the U.S. Military in the 1990's after occupying it since it was built in the early 1940's as part of the Manhattan Project - code named "Sandy Beach". Around the year 2000 the land was used for a short time for large-scale water desalination experiments in cooperation with "The Salton Sea Authority", and it appears they were using this bunker for storage before they left it to be covered by the sand-dunes.
It was a fun and exciting adventure to find this bunker and see what was inside!

Why HAM Radio Is Better Than GMRS & How The Sad-Hams Are Destroying The Amateur Radio Hobby
I dispel the ugly rumor that I "hate hams", and I explain why not only is ham radio and the amateur radio hobby very important - but also how ham radio is better than GMRS in many ways.

Berdoo Canyon Road - Can A Stock 4X4 Jeep, Truck or Honda Make It Through The Trail Without Damage?
The YouTube "experts" (aka: morons that THINK they are geniuses) say it is impossible - but we took a fully stock Jeep Wrangler JK, a brand new fully-stock Jeep Grand Cherokee up and back down Berdoo Canyon Road 4x4 Trail. Along the way we also spotted a few full-sized trucks on street tires and even a Honda Element!
