Another day, another “broken” radio… except this one works perfectly. The only “problem”? It’s region locked, so it can’t transmit on the 70cm ham band. That’s not a defect — that’s how it was built.
In this video, I snarkily walk through the motions of testing a perfectly good radio that got returned by an unhappy customer. Spoiler: there’s absolutely nothing wrong with it.
⚡ What you’ll see in this episode:
• Why this radio isn’t “broken” at all
• The truth about region locking (and why it matters)
• How returns like this happen all the time
• A dose of sarcastic commentary for your entertainment
If you’ve ever bought a radio online and thought, “This thing doesn’t work!” — maybe watch this before you send it back.
