While You Played Ham Radio, I Studied the ABBREE  - Will It Knife?

One of the first things I thought about when I picked up my first ABBREE antenna was "I wonder if I can turn this into a knife?" Well, did it, or I at least tried to do it.

Quirky APRS, HG-UV98 Lanch NLH Ham Radio Handheld Review

Quirky APRS,  HG-UV98 Lanch NLH Ham Radio Handheld Review

Chinese radios have come a long way, many have impressive feature lists, but those features seem to be stuck behind programming or poorly implemented design. The HG-UV98 seems like a radio that *should* be a fully implemented APRS radio. It can do bluetooth to tablets and computers, it digitpeats and handles weather station information. So how did they forget MESSAGING!? I think its 100% the developers not understanding the value of APRS.

You find the HG-UV98 here: https://www.venus-itech.com/product/hg-uv98-handheld-with-aprs/

Want a *good* FTDI programing cable? Consider: https://amzn.to/3i5HYeX the 6 in 1 design means you can program most radios with this one kit. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
