Overcoming Ham Radio Mic Fright with HR4NT

Scott from Ham Radio for Non-Techies (HR4NT) talks about the biggest hurdle almost every new amateur radio operator faces: Mic Fright.

You study, pass your exam, pick up your radio, and suddenly freeze up wondering what to say or what people might think. Scott shares how to push past the hesitation, make that very first contact, and why the ham radio community is welcoming to beginners!

Dave got a handy new Wireless Microphone! The only question is, is it indeed completely wireless, and does it stand up to the rigour Dave puts it through?

This CB Has No Business Doing All This

This CB Has No Business Doing All This

The Radioddity CB-5000 looks like a compact modern CB, but there’s a lot more hiding under the hood. In this video I dig into AM, FM and SSB operation, real-world power output, VHF receive, VFO behavior, hidden menu options, microphone compatibility, and the CPS programming software.

Use Code TO15 for $15 off at Radioddity

👉 Radioddity CB-5000: https://go.temporarilyoffline.com/vcj032

👉 Chameleon Mil-Whip 2.0: https://go.temporarilyoffline.com/pscmny
👉 Fancy Anytone Mic: https://go.temporarilyoffline.com/ht9dtt

I also got the CPS running under Wine on Linux, worked through the expanded features unlocked by the internal jumper, and tested the radio as an actual operating tool rather than just reading the spec sheet. If you’re considering the CB-5000, this is the feature tour I wish had existed before I started digging.

I Got One!!! Yaesu FT-857D & It’s Mint!

I Got One!!! Yaesu FT-857D & It's Mint!

What’s it been, a week maybe since we picked up an 857 for my friend Jimmy? Well, I had a viewer reach out who had a barely used 857D who was looking to get rid of it and some extras for a very attractive price. I couldn’t pass it up. I also can’t wait to get out and get this radio on the air. Still very wet here, though it isn’t raining at the moment… Perhaps I throw it in the car and head down to the park?? We’ll see. I’ve got it hooked up on my desk now about to play with it some more and get more familiar with it. I love it already though. Curious how it compares to the 891 now too. Might have to do a head to head battle at some point soon.
