I Tried the New Baofeng UV-7B So You Don’t Have To… and WOW!
The Baofeng UV-7B just showed up — and on the surface it looks like “yet another HT”… but once I started digging into it, things got interesting.
✅ FCC ID… but NOT the way you think
✅ GPS logo… but does it actually *have* GPS?
✅ A manual that *might* make programming even harder
✅ Harmonics testing that does NOT look clean
✅ Power output that… well… you’ll see.
In this video I unbox it, attempt to program a repeater **by following the manual exactly**, test RF purity with the TinySA Ultra, and check real-world wattage with the stock antenna.
Is the UV-7B a sleeper upgrade? A rebadged cash-grab? Or something in between?
📡 Stick around — the harmonics test alone is worth watching.

Comparing radio features: power, contacts, Bluetooth, GPS, and roaming channels. Get the inside scoop on which radio is the better deal for your needs.

In this video, I finally get my hands on the CrowView Note, a 14-inch portable display and keyboard dock that transforms your Raspberry Pi, mini PC, or even smartphone into a fully functional laptop.
We’re testing it with:
👉 Crowview Note: https://geni.us/kgAQJoD

You’ll see how it powers each device, handles input, and performs in real-world use. It even packs its own 5Ah internal battery, built-in speakers, and full-size keyboard — making it one of the most flexible “laptop shells” I’ve ever tested.
From field radio operators to data-center engineers, this thing could be a universal portable workstation — or a hacker’s dream toy.
