I’m taking a 10,000 FT look at three types of ham radio programing software. There’s so much to unpack here that a quick overview is 20 minutes. We’re looking at RTSystems software, Yaesu’s ADMS-14 package and CHIRP. The radio I’m using is the new Yaesu FT5.

You can pickup the software at:

First off, I’m not bashing the ARRL I’m pointing out some issues that enough people continually bring up that it is an issue. Next, in a sort of open letter to the leadership of the ARRL I’m proposing some solutions. I know, its a long video but I think I’m bringing up some valid points. I hope you take it in the spirit it’s offered and work to make the ARRL a stronger and more vibrant organization.

Garrett & I will go through the top things to stockpile for this coming season.

This week on Lunch & Ham Radio we’re talking emergency preparedness. My intel sources say this winter have all the makings of a major meltdown in the USA. We’ll talk about possible threats and what you can do to prepare. Remember guys, you need to stay alive to use your radios.

Is the Yaesu FT5D worth the price of admission? This time I’ll do the math on whether or not the latest Yaesu Handheld is the right ham radio for you. I’ll break it down in plain english. If your considering the Yaesu FT5D don’t miss this video.

What do you do when your offroad group starts buying Rugged Radio mobiles along with intercom systems and you’re one of those cheap ham radio dudes? You hack your own of course. But why the Anytone? Let’s talk about over lunch.

Every once in a while I find a non ham related radio or device interesting enough to review here. This is one of them. It called the Garmin Tread. An offroad concentric GPS with a built in 2 way radio system using MURS (Multi Use Radio Service). Here’s as complete of a review as I can do without having other treads in my riding group. Enjoy!!
